There is no GnuPG GPG PGP environment, no dm-crypt, no blowfish-button in file-context-menus and no GU interfaces ready to use for Joe Average!
There was already the question of securing private data.
What is the best way to get email/file/addressbook de/encryption/signing to Joe and his friends.
Should it be part of all programs containing private data? Should there be a Privacy Manager Tool to manage keys keyrings, encrypted files, addressbooks and calendar entries?
Encrypting the whole filesystem is neither a solution for the private data nor for email. It slows down the system and drains the battery. On my Netbook its costs are about 1-2Watts, speed I dont realy recognize.
