How to use the in-built Notepad for your encryption and decryption/b]
---I will be using Kleopatra for this tutorial
Following the recent released version there were some recent modifications, before there was only one way to use the notepad which is the external notepad , to decrypt and encrypt using the external notepad you need to use the clipboard implementation I.e you only need to copy just your encrypted text then decrypt it using the clipboard and vice-versa , although Encryption will need to add recipient ... I will also cover this too in the tutorial .
Recent version gave slight mod. to adding recipient and inbuilt notepad also integrated
Here's the walk through on how to us it
Firststep :After downloading and uploading your certificates ,there's a notepad button at the header of the application click to start encryption and decryption using the inbuilt notepad
Second step :For Encryption::
Input your message you wish to encrypt
Third step :Still on encryption, before signing you need to add a recipient using the
Recipients button, this will should be easily seen beside your
notepad ,here is where you set the certificate you're signing with and the recipient you're signing for ..
From the img below I'm signing for my self as recipient
Note: you can sign a message to alot of recipient so far you have their certificate you can do this by searching their
Fingerprint or
Name...
You can also encrypt with password too....
Fourth step:For Decryption::
click on the sign and encrypt, this will sign and encrypt the message then automatically paste this encrypted message on your notepad
If you have a message encrypted for you paste it on the note pad instead.
Fifth step:Click on decrypt after you select the certificate you're decrypting amd encrypting with
If the certificate matches the recipient encryted to, it will be successfully decrypted and pasted automatically on the notepad
If there're any correction,it's all welcomed...
