You can use S/MIME (Wikipedia: "S/MIME functionality is built into

The question that always raises with me is: at what age should

I don't think the solution is this simple. Also, law enforcement
doesn't have too much trouble finding out where a certain IP address
is used as long as there are no jurisdiction problems, which I assume
