GPG Key

I first started thinking about email encryption when I read Cory Doctorow's excellent YA novel Little Brother (grab it for free under Creative Commons over at craphound). Then the Dems caved on FISA. At that point, I realized that in a very real way, we can never again assume that email (or other forms of electronic communication) isn't being monitored (or at least collected) by the government. In fact, we have to assume that it is. Fucked up, but that's where we're at.

So from now on, all of my outgoing email will be signed with my brand-spankin'-new GnuPG key …

GPG key ID: EE3BB402
GPG key fingerprint: F0FA 5791 B092 2126 B90D 324D B3CC 88BD EE3B B402

You can download and import the key directly: becky_public.gpgkey
Or you can grab the text block: becky_public.txt

I'll sign yours if you'll sign mine! /grin/ If you're a friend or email correspondent and have a key, do send it to me; signed email is better than nothing, but obviously two-way encryption is better.

And if you have absolutely no idea what I'm going on about, do yourself a favor and read up on Pretty Good Privacy and GNU Privacy Guard.
