Having to share your public keys with everyone you intend to correspond with, look up the keys of people you want to send messages to and store your private key in a separate location seems like a lot of hoops to jump through. And the average user probably won't know how or have time to do the jumping. So I suggest the Voltage Security Network (VSN). It makes secure messaging really as easy as "click and encrypt." Leveraging Identity-Based Encryption, it uses something as easy as an email address as the encryption key. So no need to manage keys or encryption/decryption passwords. Because if people are going to start securing their everyday communications, it will only be if the solution is seamless. You don't need to watch a tutorial video or take a cryptography class to be able to use the VSN. And better yet, recipients need no software or add-ons to view—or reply to—secure messages. Super simple email (and file & document) encryption, it just works. Learn more at http://www.voltage.com/vsn/index.htm. I agree with Windows Fix.

I suppose if you are communicating often with someone, but it just seems like an added annoyance. Are encrypting your files like this becoming more commonplace?
