It&amp;#x27;s focused on Diffie-Hellman key exchange, but it&amp;#x27;s a great intro for beginners to be able to visualize the concepts, and I think helps provide some context before jumping right into the GPG command line.&lt;p&gt;[1] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.youtube.com&amp;#x2F;watch?v=YEBfamv-_do&amp;amp;t=2m25s&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.youtube.com&amp;#x2F;watch?v=YEBfamv-_do&amp;amp;t=2m25s&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>

I don&amp;#x27;t think I could send this article to my family, for instance, or even try to explain it to them without their eyes glazing over.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;m not sure if the solution is to &amp;quot;hide&amp;quot; the confusing bits in the way that Signal&amp;#x2F;Enigmail&amp;#x2F;Mailvelope does, or if we need to scrap the whole concept and try again.</text></comment>
