What is PGP?

Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) encryption helps users to send encrypted emails to their recipients ensuring privacy and security of their email content. PGP uses a pair of keys (Public and Private) to encrypt and decrypt emails. In addition to encryption, emails can be digitally signed by hashing ensuring the legitimacy of the sender.

The integration of PGP with Zoho Mail will help the users to generate and store Public and Private keys right from within their mailbox. They can use the keys (generated within Zoho Mail or any other platform) to encrypt and digitally sign the emails they send.
