Pretty Good Privacy - Secure communication via Internet also

Supporting tamper-proof, secure communication (especially via electronic networks), I own a offically certified PGP 6.0 key pair (c't cryptography campaign: pgpCA@ct.heise.de). Therefore, if you want to mail me some important or even confidential stuff, I encourage you to use PGP with your (private) key - to sign - and/or my (public) key - to encrypt - your messages: You can find a copy of my public key below. Please be aware, that there is no reliable way to guard web pages against modification during the load process via networks. If you really want to be sure, that the key below is the correct one, you should check it using a PGP keyserver (or by contacting me directly) before using it !
