Privacy means that only the intended recipient of a message can read it.
By providing the ability to encrypt messages, PGP provides protection against anyone eavesdropping on the network. Even if the information is intercepted, it is completely unreadable to the snooper. In addition to secure messaging, PGP also provides secure data storage, enabling you to encrypt files stored on your computer. For more information visit the PGP web site. A patch is being developed and should be available soon at the PGP web site.
