Throwing this here, been a lifesaver for me. (clearnet)http://ppgp.sourceforge.netFrankly, no one in their right mind should run this POS software. If you generate a key using the software's defaults, you will end up with a 1024-bit DSS key and a 512-bit Elgamal encryption sub-key. The maximum key-size this software will generate is 1024-bits. The U.S. government's National Insitute of Science and Technology (NIST) has recommended that 1024-bit keys no longer be used after December 2010. As a result, in the Fall of 2009, the GnuPG and PGP developers both abandoned the DSS/Elgamal key format and switched to a pair of RSA keys. They also raised the default keysize to 2048-bits. So, in a nutshell, Portable PGP no longer generates adequately strong keys, and the software continues to use a key format abandoned by both the GPG and PGP developers alike some 3 years ago. If convenience means more to you than safety, then go ahead and use it -- I wouldn't touch it with a barge-pole.
