Title: TAILS and GPG4USB
Post by: shermanhex4sun on July 10, 2013, 01:36 am

i know Tails has its own key encryption program.

My question: are there better alternatives?

I created a persistent volume, but i have not downloaded any applications on my TAILS USB. Not even sure one can save a third-party application on TAILS.

In any case: do experienced TAILS users just use the packaged encryption program, or are there better alternatives? Thanks.

You can use the PGP program that Tails provides, but GPG4USB should work too, because Tails is 32 bit. The only restriction is that GPG4USB doesn't work on 64 bit Linux unless you install a lot of stuff. But it should work out of the box with Tails, just save it in the persistent volume.
