PGP Universal Satellite is a program that the e-mail recipient can download and install that then allows e-mails to be sent to them like normal. The program will plug-in to the e-mail program so that any messages that they receive will be decrypted and any e-mails that they send back to vvgclinic.org will be encrypted. This is a good option for people that regularly send e-mails and receive e-mails to people at vvgclinic.org. There is an added benefit of all e-mails sent back to vvgclinic.org will be encrypted as well. The install will require administrative permissions so people that use work computers should check with their system administrators to make sure that they can install this software. It also requires a single reboot.

The program creates a PGP key that is then uploaded to the PGP server at vvgclinic.org so that any e-mails that are then sent by anyone at vvgclinic.org to the recipient will be encrypted and delivered normally to the recipient. Using this PGP key, any e-mails that are then sent to anyone at vvgclinic.org will also be encrypted.

To use this method, select PGP Universal Satellite at the settings screen. The settings screen can be reached after typing in the password the first time a recipient gets and e-mail or it can be reached by logging in to their account and clicking on the Settings button.

After selecting PGP Universal Satellite click Continue. The next screen is the End User License Agreement for the software. Read through this and click either I Agree or I Disagree. Clicking I Agree will take you to the next screen. Clicking I Disagree will take the user to the PGP website.

After clicking I Agree, the recipient will be prompted for which client version to download. It should automatically start downloading the Windows version for Windows users. There is also a Macintosh version as well. If the download does not automatically start, click on the icon that is appropriate for your computer.

After it downloads, open up the file and start the install. The following instructions are for Windows users. Double click on the file PGPUniversal.exe and the first screen to pop up will look like this.

Click next and it will begin the install of the components. Once it finishes copying the files, it will prompt you to restart your computer. This only needs to be done once and when the computer fully restarts the rest of the program will finish installing.

Once the computer restarts PGP Universal Satellite will finish the install. The program will prompt for a passphrase that will be used anytime the PGP key is accessed or used. If you click Remember this passphrase you will not be prompted to reenter it any time it is used. This passphrase is used to protect the PGP keys that are created during this process. The key will be used to encrypt e-mails sent from you to vvgclinic.org and to decrypt any e-mail sent to you from vvgclinic.org.

After typing in a password for your keys the next screen will be the first screen of the Key Creation Wizard. The first screen will explain some of the basics of what the program is doing. Click Next after reading the screen.

The next screen will say that the key has successfully been synchronized with the PGP server at vvgclinic.org. What this means is that your public key has been uploaded for use on the vvgclinic.org server so that anyone at vvgclinic.org that sends an e-mail to you will be encrypted in a way that you can decrypt. Any e-mail sent to you will be encrypted using the public key that was just synchronized and anything encrypted using your public key can only be decrypted using the private key that is stored on your computer in this program. Click OK.

The next time that you open up your e-mail program and send something to vvgclinic.org or receive something from vvgclinic.org you will be prompted by a box that asks for your passphrase. This will only happen if you didn't tell the computer to remember your passphrase earlier. This is because your PGP key is being accessed and this access requires the passphrase. Typing in your passphrase will then secure the message or decrypt the incoming message.

E-mail that is received from vvgclinic.org will automatically be decrypted by this key after typing in your passphrase. It will have some extra lines of text stating that it was decrypted. The message will have a header that says something like "PGP Signed: 05/16/2005 at 02:30PM, Decrypted" and it will have a trailer to the message saying who sent the message, what the e-mail address was, and a code.

This text just means that PGP Satellite decrypted the message for you and that the message wasn't tampered with along the way. If PGP Universal Satellite is not running when an encrypted e-mail is received the message will not be readable. It will show up with two attachments. One attachment will end in .pgp and this is the actual encrypted e-mail. Start the PGP Satellite program by clicking on Start, Programs, PGP Universal and it will then decrypt the message.
