PGP - GPG

January 06, 2010

So I finally made a GPG Public key. You can find it on the right. Add this file to your keychain by using the following command:

$ gpg --import public.key

To then encrypt a file for me to decrypt:

$ gpg -e -r "Jamis Nemo" 

This will give you a file with the same name as the file you encrypted but it will include a “.gpg” on the end. Send this to me and I’ll be able to decrypt it (assuming someone hasn’t altered the key on it’s way to you).

My next goal here is to sign my public key with one of the major key signers…
