Title: Verify Message Signature with GPGTools for Mac?
Post by: btcguy38 on November 20, 2013, 03:50:28 AM
Hello,

I have done some searching on the forum, but can not seem to find an answer.

I have a mac with GPGTools installed.

I have received a PM with a signature on it.  For example:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

message here

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin)
Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org

random text here

-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I have the person's public key imported into my key ring, but I can not figure what I should do to verify that signature.

Thanks!

Ok open up terminal this is the best way to do it. Copy the the text you want to verify, by Command-C or right click and copy. Then go to terminal type in
Code:
pbpaste | gpg --verify 

That is what I use.
