// Encrypted email

Email us, but encrypted

For sensitive matters, you can email us so that only we can read it — even your and our email providers can't. That's what PGP does.

The key, in short

PGP wraps your email in an envelope only the key owner can open. Our public key is like our open padlock: anyone can lock a message with it, only we hold the key that unlocks it.

Our fingerprint

A fingerprint is the key's ID card. Before trusting any key that claims to be ours, compare its fingerprint with the one above — every character. If even one differs, don't use it; message us on Signal instead.

Our public key

This is the key for contact@adsosecurity.com. View it right here, or download it as a file for your email app.

One click saves the key as adso-pgp-key.asc. Open or import that file in your email app (Proton, Tuta, Thunderbird, Mailvelope…).

Download key (.asc)

After importing, check the fingerprint matches the one above.

How to use it

1. Get our public key from the box above — copy it, or download it as a file.
2. Import it into your email's encryption tool — Proton Mail and Tuta have it built in; Thunderbird has it under OpenPGP; Gmail/Outlook need an add-on like Mailvelope.
3. Check the fingerprint your tool shows against the one above.
4. Write to contact@adsosecurity.com with encryption switched on.

No PGP? No problem

For most messages, plain email is fine. For sensitive ones without PGP, use Signal (hisham.01) — it's end-to-end encrypted too, and much easier.
