After encrypting your laptop, when you restart or power on the computer, you will now see a gray screen like the one below: Enter the password you normally use to login to Windows on your computer.
When you successfully login, it will automatically log you into Windows for you. If you change your password, you will need to follow the directions below to update the login information, as it doesn't sync with our systems. If you forget your password or are unable to login, please contact the Help Desk. Skip auxiliary navigation Press Enter. Skip main navigation Press Enter.

The way it The program is still widely available, e. There are also other methods to get at the contents of an encrypted message, such as bribery, tapping your keyboard, installing trojan horses, snooping of electronic emanation from the computers processing the message often called a TEMPEST attack , blackmail, or rubber-hose cryptoanalysis beating you with a rubber hose until you give the passphrase or similar, see Can I be forced to reveal my pass phrase in any legal proceedings?
A: In a word: don't. If you forget your pass phrase, there is absolutely no way to recover any encrypted files. If you're concerned about forgetting your passphrase, you could make a copy of your secret keyring, change its passphrase to something else you are sure not to forget, and then store the secret keyring with the changed passphrase in a safe location.
Q: Why do you use the term "pass phrase" instead of "password"? A: This is because most people, when asked to choose a password, select some simple common word. This can be cracked by a program that uses a dictionary to try out passwords on a system. Since most people really don't want to select a truly random password, where the letters and digits are mixed in a nonsense pattern, the term pass phrase is used to urge people to at least use several unrelated words in sequence as the pass phrase.
Q: If my secret key ring is stolen, can my messages be read? A: No, not unless they have also stolen your secret pass phrase or you foolishly put it in plaintext on the same disk see How can I give my passphrase to the commandline PGP automatically? Neither part is useful without the other. You should, however, revoke that key and generate a fresh key pair using a different pass phrase just to be sure. Before revoking your old key, you might want to add another user ID that states what your new key id is so that others can know of your new address.
A: All of the security that is available in PGP can be made absolutely useless if you don't choose a good pass phrase to encrypt your secret key ring. Too many people use their birthday, their telephone number, the name of a loved one, or some easy to guess common word.
While there are a number of suggestions for generating good pass phrases, the ultimate in security is obtained when the characters of the pass phrase are chosen completely at random. It may be a little harder to remember, but the added security is worth it. As an absolute minimum pass phrase, I would suggest a random combination of at least 8 letters and digits, with 12 being a better choice.
With a 12 character pass phrase made up of the lower case letters a-z plus the digits , you have about 62 bits of key, which is 6 bits better than the 56 bit DES keys. If you wish, you can mix upper and lower case letters in your pass phrase to cut down the number of characters that are required to achieve the same level of security.
A pass phrase which is composed of ordinary words without punctuation or special characters is susceptible to a dictionary attack. Transposing characters or mis-spelling words makes your pass phrase less vulnerable, but a professional dictionary attack will cater for this sort of thing.
See Randall T. Williams' Passphrase FAQ for a more detailed analysis. A: This can be quite a problem especially if you are like me and have about a dozen different pass phrases that are required in your everyday life. Writing them down someplace so that you can remember them would defeat the whole purpose of pass phrases in the first place.
There is really no good way around this. Either remember it, or write it down someplace and risk having it compromised. It may be a good idea to periodically try out all the passphrases, or to iterate them in your mind. Repeating them often enough will help keep them from being completely blanked out when the time comes that you need them. If you use long passphrases, it may be possible to write down the initial portion without risking compromising it, so that you can read the "hint" and remember the rest of the passphrase.
If you chose to write down these partial passphrases, consider putting them in an tamper evident, non-transparent enveloppe and storing them in a secure place. For a simple way to pick provably strong passphrases that are easy to remember, please see Arnold Reinhold's Diceware website. A: If you do not presently own any copy of PGP, use great care on where you obtain your first copy. What I would suggest is that you get two or more copies from different sources that you feel that you can trust.
Compare the copies to see if they are absolutely identical. This won't eliminate the possibility of having a bad copy, but it will greatly reduce the chances.
If you already own a trusted version of PGP, it is easy to check the validity of any future version. Newer versions of PGP are distributed in popular archive formats; the archive file you receive will contain only another archive file, a file with the same name as the archive file with the extension.
Of course, the inner archive file contains the newer PGP distribution. Q: How do I know that there is no trap door in the program? A: The fact that the entire source code for the free versions of PGP is available makes it just about impossible for there to be some hidden trap door. The source code has been examined by countless individuals and no such trap door has been found. PGP encryption gets around this problem using public key encryption.
Everyone is assigned two keys: a public one that you can share with everyone and a private one, which you keep to yourself. What makes this system possible is that the codes only work one way. If Key A encrypts a file, Key A cannot reverse the process and decrypt it. Only its pair, Key B, can do that. Your friend receives the message and runs it through his private key to decode it, restoring it to plain text.
This is a vastly simplified explanation of the process, but anyone curious about the nuts and bolts can find plenty more technical resources online. Beyond that, you can use your imagination: PGP can encrypt any text you need and can even be used on whole directories and drives. Getting your own key pair is actually much easier than it sounds. You just have to figure out a few simple programs. Download Gpg4win. This is a free though you can donate set of encryption packages and tools.
