Verify the generated ASCII Armored keys; To generate the another key pair (for PGP Receiver), move the present keys to different location and follow the same steps from the beginning. These key pairs can be used for both Encryption and Signing. PGP encryption and signing require two different keys: a public key for encryption and your own private key for signing. General settings Complete the following field on the PGP Encrypt and Sign window. Create an ASCII armored version of your public key for exporting by typing: gpg -export -a mykey.asc You’ve just exported your ASCII armored OpenPGP public key to the file mykey.asc in the folder you were in (your home directory, if you opened a new terminal). This article will guide you through the process of generating public and private keys for encrypting emails. None of your form values or generated keys will leave your browser.

Tools Required

Install Gpg4win from http://www.gpg4win.org/download.html

It will automatically update it's path to the system PATH(Environment variable)

Generating Key Pairs

Open the console the issue the following command to initiate the generation of public/private key pairs

It will create both keys with the name like secring.gpg (Private Key) and pubring.gpg (Public Key)

Select RSA(5) as a key type

Choose the default key size (2048) by just pressing enter without any input.

Choose the default key validity (key does not expire) by just pressing enter without any input
During confirmation prompt, press 'y'

Provide the Real User Name and E-Mail Address for the key to be issued with optional Comment
Press 'O' for 'Okay'

Provide and confirm the passpharse for private key

Acutal keys will be updated after providing random system gestures

Verify the details of the generated Private Key

Verify the details of the generated Public Key

Verify the key location

Generate ASCII Armored Keys from GPG Keys

Use the following command to generate ASCII Armored Public Key

Use the following command to generate ASCII Armored Private Key

Verify the generated ASCII Armored keys

To generate the another key pair (for PGP Receiver), move the present keys to different location and follow the same steps from the beginning. These key pairs can be used for both Encryption and Signing.

Linux
1. Using GNOME’s GUI frontend: Seahorse
  1. Find or import someone else’s OpenPGP Public Key
2. Using the Linux command line
Windows
1. Create and Export an OpenPGP Public/Private Key pair
  1. Find or Import someone else’s OpenPGP Public Key

This instruction will guide you step-by-step through creating OpenPGP public/private key pairs, exporting public keys to key servers, and finding OpenPGP public keys for secure communication with others.

First read the instructions in OpenPGP Best Practices carefully to ensure your system generates a strong key and receives key updates from a well-maintained keyserver. This will require to make changes to the gpg.conf configuration file, which is located in different places depending on your operating system. In Linux it is located in ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf.

Using GNOME’s GUI frontend: Seahorse

What is Seahorse?

Seahorse is a GUI tool for creating and managing OpenPGP keys, securely storing passwords, and creating and managing SSH certificates. It uses GPG as the back-end OpenPGP implementation.

Create and export an OpenPGP Public/Private Key pair

Launch Seahorse. It should be installed by default.
Select GnuPG keys.
Select the + sign to create a new key.
Select PGP Key.
Enter your email and the name you would like to be associated with the key. This doesn’t need to be your real name.
Select advanced options.
Encryption type should be RSA.
Key strength should be 3072.
Expiration date should be within less then two years. You can always extend the key expiration as long as you still have access to the key, even after it has expired.Why should I set an expiration -.
Enter a strong password that you can remember. If you forget this password, it cannot be recovered and any encrypted data you have using it for, including emails, will be permanently inaccessible.
The computer will now generate the key, which may take some time. After this, you will have an OpenPGP key pair that is ready to be used—Great! You can manage the key options, export the public key, change the password, delete and/or revoke the key, and perform other key adjustments through the Seahorse user interface or the command line.
Optional: At this point, you can publish your public key to a key server where people can request it remotely to be able to send encrypted data and emails to you. Before you continue, please make sure you have selected a good keyserver. Once you are ready:
1. Select the Key(s) you want to publish. Hold Ctrl and click to select more than one, or press Ctrl+A to select all keys.
2. Navigate to Remote → Sync and Publish Keys…
3. Press the Key Servers button.
4. Publish the keys to any keyserver (select one if the “Sync” button was grayed out in the previous screen); they all synchronize with each other, so your key will be on each one.
5. Recommended: Check the Automatically retrieve keys from key servers but do not check the Automatically synchronize modified keys with key servers check boxes. Instead, please consider using parcimonie.
6. Press the Close button and then the Sync button to synchronize your keys.

Your public key is now published on the key servers and is accessible to others!

Find or import someone else’s OpenPGP Public Key

If you want to communicate with others securely or encrypt data that only they can read, you first need to import their public key into your keyring. Note: The John Q. Alias key is used as an example key for gener
