“The idea of public-key cryptography is surprisingly simple, once you've figured it out.”
As a p≡p user you don't need to know how cryptography works exactly. But cryptography can be fun ;-) So if you're interested in the background, here is an article about How Two Men Unlocked Modern Encryption.

Why p≡p project isn't reachable via commercial HTTPS

Remove total surveillance from the Internet: European project “pretty Easy privacy” is going to restore privacy for everyone
pEp – pretty Easy privacy – is a bundle of solutions anyone can add to his or her communication tools. Instead of providing another crypto app it encrypts messages in those tools where people are creating them: SMS, Email, Whatsapp, Facebook, Jabber (and more). It will run on the devices people own, including Windows, MacOS X, Apple iOS, Android and GNU/Linux based devices. And it is all 100% Free Software and Open Source.
“In these times we need a real privacy solution for all people. And the solution can't be that everyone has to drop what is connecting us to all of our friends.” says privacy evangelist Volker Birk. The German software architect, a known activist in the hacker community, wants to break with some dogma of the crypto community. “What we need is that technical stuff like picking keys, understanding cryptography algorithms and handling has to be the function of our computers, and the user just presses «send».”
