When we set up secure server access for you, we will set up Gnu Privacy Guard (GPG) for you for free. GPG is an OpenPGP compliant application which enables you to encrypt data on your web site. It is compatible with PGP 5.x and has very similar functionality.

If you intend to receive sensitive information over the web (such as credit card details), SSL access alone does not guarantee the safety of your data. SSL keeps the information safe as it travels to your web site, but does not provide any protection once the data arrives. GPG can be used to immediately encrypt the data when it arrives at your web site - you only decrypt it once you have downloaded it to your hard drive. That gives you peace of mind knowing that the information your customers enter into your secure form will be safe all the way across the web.

We install a special version of FormMail on your secure server so that, when you receive sensitive information via your secure server, you can have the information immediately encrypted and mailed to you in the encrypted form. Once you have retrieved your mail from the server, it can be easily and safely decrypted on your hard drive using your PGP or GPG software.
