Privacy
I am generally using strong cryptography for both security and privacy. There are several ways to download my PGP public key. You can download it either from the PGP Global Directory (ldap://keyserver.pgp.com), GnuPG.net (hkp://keys.gnupg.net), my local repository, or even copy/paste it from below. I encourage you to use PGP encryption with this key when sending me data. You can also use it to verify any digitally signed messages I generate (yes I do sign my e-mails!).

Here's a simple way to prepare some encrypted data for me in UNIX/GNU. First you need to import my PGP public key.

~$ gpg --import gpg-publickey-aig.asc
if you have already downloaded it, or
~$ gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --search-keys 'Alexandros I. Giagkos'
if you want to automate the process.

You now need to validate it. Although I issue the key's fingerprint below, you might want to contact me in person in order to validate it. Please feel free to do so, I will answer the call.

Key fingerprint = 3E12 0461 C91E 81D1 A878 A885 6E4D E129 397D CDBD

~$ gpg --fingerprint AIG (do they match?)

To start using my key I suggest you first sign it, and also change its trust level.

~$ gpg --edit-key AIG

Then type "sign" and "trust". Notice that to sign my key you need to have your own secret key in place. Now my key is imported, signed and trusted, you can encrypt any data and send it to me securely.

~$ gpg -e -r AIG -o data.text.gpg data.txt

You can now send me data.text.gpg.

On-line
There is also an on-line form you can use. Just follow this link.
