Easy tutorial for sending and receiving secure encrypted emails

In this step-by-step tutorial, I show you how you can easily send secure encrypted emails to people that are unbreakable and that you can verify the email came from the real person and not an imposter. This uses the openPGP system via gpg4win which is a windows version of gnupg.

I show you how to create your own key, explain how to share keys with people and how to send and receive the secure email messages.

You don't need to be an Edward Snowden style whistle-blower seeking to leak classified documents to find encryption useful. the average person using encryption is the digital equivalent of the reason why people send letters in envelopes. It does not matter how important or how trivial your communications are, they are your business and the only people who should have access are the people you choose to communicate with.

Correction:: DO NOT pick DSA keys, not as secure as RSA. 3072 is as high or as big as you can get for a key in DSA. RSA will go up to a 4096 strength. DSA is about all done away with now.

the trust level isn't how much you trust that it's Bob, it's how much you trust that he only signs keys that are totally 100% absolutely valid.

Can someone be tracked by giving out his email?

thank you

Helpful info here guys and easy to understand

[KamelJabber]

shared this on the little gamer forum site I maintain.  It's useful beyond email...can be used for any method of passing secure messages.

Wow...practice makes perfect, I guess! Thanks!

Suppose that I don't have your email or any other direct contacts, then how can I send the encrypted message to you? with kleopatra?

[NevaehBeatez]

Is there any way to ensure that someone who gets their hand on the message can't read it? Like can I make it so that even with the world's fastest computer, a brute force attack wouldn't work? Not just because of how big the key is, but simply because they're not the intended recipient in the first place? Is that possible?

[MrUberbongo]

Some other tuts tell me to not use mainstream email clients or as you say yourself  webbased apps like, but not limited to for example Gmail.
Those tuts tell to use opensourced apps just like gpg4win, and are referring to for example the Thunderbird email client.
What is your thought about this?
