Abstract :
For e-mail at least, I can safely say security has arrived. I provide an overview of cryptography and the protocols that enable it to work with e-mail. I explain the need for secure e-mail. I provide a short lesson on cryptography. I discuss the human and legal aspects, and I explain how to try out secure e-mail
