I'd argue it is not that complicated once you take the time to explain how it works.


If I have to explain it, it's already a lost cause. If you want any hope of PGP being widespread, or any cryptosystem for that matter, you need to have it being self-explanatory.

Someone at the age of 90 should be able to download the software, click a "yes" button and secure their mail.

Secure E-Mail must be as DAU-proof as possible.
