There is no GnuPG GPG PGP environment, no dm-crypt, no blowfish-button in file-context-menus and no GU interfaces ready to use for Joe Average!

There was already the question of securing private data.


What is the best way to get email/file/addressbook de/encryption/signing to Joe and his friends.
.
As a first step, could the basic tools be made available together with a how-to suitable for the average joe like me who doesn't mind using the CLI if given clear instructions?

I'd like to see gpg and a truecrypt port, even with no GUIs.

And what about using a key stored on other media? I guess having my key on a USB stick would be one option.
