Just to clarify Amp's post (if I may call you Amp), PGP is fully available to the majority of the world, with the notable exception of places like Libya and Iraq. You can download the so-called 'international' versions from
http://www.pgpi.org/ which used to mean something when stong encryption was still covered by the US CAPCOM laws, however in effect the international version of today is just the same as the US version produced by Network Associates.
Even in these troubled times, I'm still a stong believer in the right to privacy, even if the current UK government did introduce the so-called RIP act, which makes it a criminal offence to fail to hand over decryption keys to the police if so told to do so by a court, even forgetting a password isn't a valid reason.
Outlaw encyption, and only criminals will use it. Logical, eh?
