Overview

What is PGPFreeware 8.1?

Powerful encryption tool.

In depth

A closer look at PGPFreeware 8.1

PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is a powerful encryption tool for use with e-mail programs, as well as for encrypting files locally. Using PGP, you can ensure that no unintended recipient reads your e-mail messages. Users create two different keys--a private and a public key--to ensure that email is always from a valid sender, and that the recipient is the valid recipient. Interoperable with PGP 7.x and older, and with GnuPG and other OpenPGP-compliant software. Building on top of the solid PGP technology base, PGPFreeware 8.0 for Mac OS X features a completely new Cocoa-based user interface to take maximum advantage of Apple's new operating system. PGPFreeware 8.0 for Mac OS X offers numerous evolutionary improvements as well as the following new features:
  • Full support for Mac OS X 10.2 (If you require Mac OS 9 support, you should obtain PGPFreeware 7.0.3. If you have Mac OS X 10.0 or 10.1, you need to upgrade to 10.2.1 or later.)
  • Significantly expanded Unicode support
  • PGP encryption and digital signature features are accessible as a Mac OS X service from Cocoa applications and Carbon applications that support services
  • PGP features are also accessible from the PGP's Dock menu, providing a second ubiquitous method for accessing PGP
