Google is your friend.

But in short, PGP encrypts messages. You have to install the software like gnugp, and then use the software to generate your PGP public key and private key.

Hey there OP

You should try to be the safest you can if you are ordering things off of SR.

PGP is something you download then you use this to encrypt your messages.  Most important you use it to ENCRYPT your address so it is not floating around out there....

There is an easy download called GPG4USB.  Download it and then USE it. You can find it with the
Google search engine... There is a thread here on the forums called the PGP Club... If you have any more questions that would be a good place to start.

Good luck!
