Caution: At the moment InstantCrypt experiences intermittent, but serious problems when running under Windows 7 (and maybe under Windows Vista) during key creation and key signing. It is unclear if and when these problems can be fixed.

1. Send Secure Email with InstantCrypt

InstantCrypt is an encryption program using the Open PGP standard to send and receive secure email, that is, it encrypts ("scrambles") your email so that only the intended recipient can read it. It connects easily to your previously installed email or Web mail.
Written for those who occasionally, but not always, want or need to exchange encrypted emails, for those with no or only little knowledge of encryption, and for those who want to give encryption a try.
