How does this really help I can literally load up gpg and read thousands of encrypted messages if I was law enforcement they have unlimited funding. Do pgp messages have a limit until they extinct or what? why do people say use this instead of "auto encrypt" how does spending an extra 30 seconds encrypting via pgp really put me ahead of law enforcement in anyway. Remember this is all roleplay.
I put this in the noobs not knowing where to put it thought about it for a second pretty genuine question especially in the times we are in.
and yes. I use auto - encrypt && use pgp.
From what I know when you encrypt with a vendors public key that they offer out, the only way that message you send can be read is by using the private key the vendor has and that is on his computer and no one else has access to that, so unless LE got ahold of his computer and forced him to type in password etc etc then theres no way for LE to decrypt. With auto encrypt, your address is sent somewhere first before it is encrypted and is sent over the network maybe its stored somewhere? So much better to do it in gpa and offline. Hope I help thought it was obvious myself haha
