Location: UFM Fireplace Room Back to Top Introduction to E-Mail Security
The world of electronic mail or messages is much like a world of postcards. Between you and who you send the message to lurk potential eavesdroppers and they can, with a bit of work, read everything you send or receive. E-mail Security is about keeping your electronic mail private. You use envelopes and sealed boxes to send hard copy printed mail, so why shouldn't you do the same with your E-mail? A discussion of what E-mail is, and how to protect the privacy of your mail with tools that are available now that are either free or very inexpensive. Topics covered will include but are not limited to the following: PGP (pretty good privacy), PEM (privacy enhanced mail), privacy & electronic mail the problems, encryption, key management, authentication, certificates, keeping your private key private, viruses, EXE attachments, data compression -ZIP files, and vendors of compression software. Supplemental information may be acquired in hard copy form from Copy Co in Aggieville. A list of documents will be available at the class session. Catalogs of technical books will also be available at each class session. Optional hand-outs, demo software, and other items will be on a CD that will be available for purchase from the Great Inland Sea Computer User Group at the class session. (Cost $15.00)
