Encrypted Email - GPG Key

Use my public GPG key to encrypt confidential email or verify signatures from me.

Fingerprint:

2A25 7D9F 5E0A 0459 6724 3729 7AAC E4F3 E2A9 019F

Find this key on keys.openpgp.org or download the key to encrypt locally.

Send Me An Encrypted Message

This encrypts in your browser with the key above, then opens your email application with the ciphertext already in the body. Nothing is posted anywhere, because there is no server to post to, and the plaintext never leaves this tab. The key is checked against the fingerprint printed above before anything is encrypted.
