Title: Does anyone know a PGP alternative for MAC OSX?
Post by: s506977 on May 22, 2013, 03:39 am

I have been doing some digging around and I have been unable to come up with anything.

Does anyone know of an alternative that I can use for SR purposes?

All my devices are Apple products :(

Yes, check out GPGTools!

Here's the relevant link for the SR wiki regarding PGP for Mac:

No problem!  GPGTools was in fact recently updated to work natively with Mail in Mountain Lion! :)

I use GNU Privacy guard there is a mac version so if it's anything like the gnu I use then its pretty good, here is the link:
https://gpgtools.org

If your interested, the homepage for GNU is here:
http://www.gnupg.org/

One more thing, if you want to run tails or windows, download vmware, it's a virtual machine that will let you run any OS right on your MAC desktop.  It's very user friendly, you just need basic understanding of disk images and if you don't have that then look for a youtube video on using vmware, there are tons that walk you through everything.
