Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

Hey.
What is the deal with PGP signatures?

They are numeric proof that a particular person created a message and that is hasn't been altered.

How can I use them?

You can use them to supply proof that a message hasn't been altered from the author's originally intended message.

They use asymmetric encryption to allow an individual to create a message that can only be read by the individual who has access to the private key.
