 * There is a general standard for public key encryption called [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy#OpenPGP OpenPGP]. Popular encryption engines including [http://www.symantec.com/products-solutions/families/?fid=encryption PGP] and [https://www.gnupg.org/ GnuPG] are compliant with this standard
 * To use public key encryption you will need a key pair, an encryption engine and (optionally) an interface with your email program
 * Your key pair is portable, you can change the email program and encryption engine, using the same encryption method from different computers. Essentially the key pair is made up of two distinct (but interdependent) files - the public and private key. Keep a copy of them.<br />
-Keep in mind that aside from encrypting your messages, you should also know about key verification, message signing, file encryption. Please make sure you refer to these sections in the given resources. Here's a list of guides, varying in the software methods they show as examples, by language and context, to help you get started and on the way:
