Mon, 24/11/2008 - 02:10 — paulIntroduction.
Further to my page offering a "how to" on encrypting emails, this page deals with encrypting files.

What is a firewall?
Just as a building has a firewall and possibly a fire door to try to isolate a fire on one side of the wall, preventing it spreading to the other side, a computer firewall does much the same.
