Linux HOWTO #4, Part 1: Secure Your Data with PGP

At long last, #4 in the Linux Howto Series!

See www.linuxjournal.com to see all new Howto videos.

This is the fourth installment in a new series called Linux HOWTOS. Every other week I will post a video explaining how to accomplish something using a GNU/Linux operating system. Please write requests for installments in the comments!

In today's time of rampant information crimes, including identity theft, security is more important to the average computer user than ever. This tutorial shows how you can use GnuPG to secure and verify data on your Linux box.

If you have any questions, please ask in the comment field, and I or someone else will do our best to answer. Please avoid 'RTFM'-style answers. They are not welcome. Also please post corrections if I mistakenly give some wrong information.
