emails are about as secure as a postcard. Possibly less secure.

It's always confused me that banks send us unsigned email warning us
about phishing attacks then ask us to click on a llink to check our
account. Or send us an email telling us to log in to the banking site
and then read a message posted there (which turns out to be an advert
for mortgages).
If the high street banks had got together and agreed that encrypted
email was the way to go then we could all communicate with them securely
without the need for other programs/web pages. As the banks all want
proof of id for everything (often in person) then they would have been
in an ideal situation to kick off some key signing.
Of course if all this had happened then it would be a lot harder for the
authorities to read our email so Dave would really be complaining.

Cheers,

Pete
