I dunno about PGP, but I'm working with GNUPG right now. Last time I tried tackling this was 4-5 years ago and it was...ah....annoying. This time was a bit smoother to set up. Seems to be a tradition, ever 5 years I try figuring out encryption. lol.

Short version: We're discussing a way to encrypt data, in this case email, for security.
You use my public key to encode a message. Only my private key can decode it.
I reply back with your public key. Only your private key can decode it.
You give out your public key, but keep the private one safe and secure.

I've had a few systems explode from the software. Though I blame Microsoft for those.
