first of all, the person on the other end needs to be savy enough to use it as well. there was a program called gpg4usb.. its pretty useful and gets that done. look for a tutorial on how to use, because i never really used it.. I only tried it once but i remember it wasn't that hard.

Like he said, the other person has to be able to use it as well. Get gpg4win and download or gpg4mac if you use a mac. You generate a public key and a private key. You give your public key to anyone who asks and they can create a message only you can decrypt. You use your private key to decrypt it.

PGP software comes with READ ME files explaining how it's used. It's not in any way simple, but if you want to bad enough you will learn from what it says. They make the explanations very clear, but it's still very dull to read chapter after chapter of guides they have,

Use gpg4win or for mac and you don't have to figure out anything. Just put text in the clipboard and encrypt or put the message in and decrypt. It can be set up in a short time and then there is nothing to it.

That's what I use for my sensitive files and emails. Works great and it's easy to use as well! I highly recommend it.
