Hello, one of people I am trading with asked me to answer with my pgp public key, I want to know what is it and how can I find it?

PGP or 'pretty good privacy' is an encryption scheme based on RSA. Its pretty common since and exists since the 1990s. If you dont know what PGP is you probably dont have a public key.

Would you please tell us more about it or perhaps there's a link to some post that you can refer us to. This PGP key seems important to trade with other people.  Also what's that public key you wrote about? Do we get that from somewhere or gotta buy it or something??

No you dont buy it, its free software. This is a good read -> http://www.bitcoinnotbombs.com/beginners-guide-to-pgp/

Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) is a popular program used to encrypt and decrypt e-mail over the Internet. It can also be used to send an encrypted digital signature that lets the receiver verify the sender's identity and know that the message was not changed en route.

Thanks!!! Read the entire post. Gonna download the GPG app and get started with it right away. You were really helpful. Thanks for the info once again.
