Use the following public key to communicate with me using
PGP. You can verify this key at
pgp.mit.edu by searching my name, "
Bradly Odell", and finding the key id, "
DC066A14". Make sure you
sign your message with your key, and securely send me your public key. For large messages or files, use AES-128 for encryption, and PGP for key exchange.
PGP keys can be confusing. If you would like to send a secure message without PGP, I recommend you use the website:
temp.pm. On this site, the user enters a message, chooses the optional expiration date, chooses the optional password and then it spits out a link that can only be opened once.

Why use RSA and AES?
RSA is better than AES when messages are short because it generates both a public key, which can be distributed, and a private key. The private key is used to decrypt messages that were encrypted with the public key. After encrypting a message, the message can be signed with the private key. The signature can be verified using the public key only if the message was not changed.
AES-128 encryption is great for very large data sizes. To use AES, a private key must be shared between the users. RSA's public/private key encryption is typically used to transfer the AES private keys in AES encrypted channels.
