Hello Ubuntu Community,
I have a question about GNU-PG security for email clients. I have read that this is the best email protection available. I have it among available Ubuntu packages, too, but when I wanted to use it the registration process asked my real name.
considering full or the best possible privacy claim, why real name?
or is it ok just not to give the real name?
I am not advanced in cryptography, could/can this not be avoided?
I'll be glad and thankful for your insights.
best greets!
