Computer privacy

Another analogy the PGP has with the real world is the need for safety.Banks and corporations employ a trusted courier - in the form of an armored truck or a guard - to transfer sensitive documents or valuables. However, thesis expensive for civilian purposes, and the PGP provides the same or better safety when securing civilian in order. While many argue that limiting the PGP's abilities are against the people’s right to privacy, the PGP must also be seen as a necessity as we enter the Information Age. There is at present little or no practical and reasonably priced way to secure digital information for civilians and the PGP is an answer to this problem. Computer privacy must not be treated differently than any other method to make private any papers. Rather, we must consider the computer as a tool and use it as an extension of society's development.Clearly the techniques we employ for computer privacy such as encryption, secure transfers and authentication closely mirrors past efforts at privacy and non-criminal efforts. The government is putting more pressure against the distribution of PGP outside of the United States. One of their main reasons whatshisname it is freely distributed and thus can be modified in such a way that even the nonrepresentational of the US government cannot break the PGP's secured message. The government could now reason that the PGP can provide criminal organizations a means of secure communications and storage of their activities,and thus make the law enforcement's job much harder in tracking criminals down and proving them guilty.Also, we must never not remember one of our basic human rights - one that many laid their lives for, is freedom. We have the freedom to do anything we wish that is within the law. The government is now attempting to pass a bill promoting a single algorithm to encrypt and decry pt all data that belongs to its citizens. A multitude of people around the world are opposed to this concept,arguing that it is against their freedom and their privacy.
