“This interesting book covers the history and basics of email encryption. It includes three appendices and a two-page list of references. I found it to be well designed and interesting to read … covering a lot of material on encryption. … a good primer for someone who wants to start using encrypted email.” (Michael Moorman, Computing Reviews, November, 2015)
