ATTN NON-GEEKS!

I need to set up a file encryption system, such that it can be accessed
from three different computers, by four or five different people. We're
currently looking at something called WinPG, which is the Winders
version of GNUpg, which is the GNU version of PGP. This looks like it's
going to involve lots of passing keys around and remembering of passphrases.

Anybody got any better/easier but still secure suggestions?

Thanks, y'all.

Do you think that each user could have a flash drive that they would
keep with them that would keep all their keys and passphrases? They
could use them like physical keys in the computers' USB ports.

When I worked I would always say to myself about my boss, "Yeah, I'll
fix his ass, I'll do what he told me to!" And I did.
