Encryptomatic OpenPGP is updated for Microsoft Outlook and Windows Desktop.

We have released a major update of Encryptomatic OpenPGP (EOPGP) for Microsoft Outlook and Windows 10 desktop.  If you are already using EOPGP, the update is available through the software notification service.  The software can be downloaded and installed from the Encryptomatic OpenPGP home page.

Encryptomatic OpenPGP is an Windows software product that simplifies the installation and use of OpenPGP encryption.  It is provided free for personal, non-profit, activist, and news reporter users. 

We believe in your right to privacy and to protect your data. While this project is not a money maker for our core for-profit software business, we support your right to protect your data from hackers and your Article Twelve right to privacy. We pay a talented and experienced software developer to regularly maintain, enhance and support Encryptomatic OpenPGP, and so we ask commercial business/government users to help fund this project by purchasing an affordable annual license.

Through the Windows right-click context menu, you can use it to easily encrypt desktop files.
