this might be for journalists but really it's just a good basic overview for everyone

Learning the basics of creating a key pair & encrypting messages with gpg4win is rather simple and straightforward. I wouldn't say that it's as complex as you have continuously stated.

I only recently learned and I'm in my 60's. Learning how to use excel was far more difficult.
