Many people do not have any clue about PGP encryption/decryption. It was same for me however I had to learn it the hard way. Explore the topic The BCT PGP/GPG Public Key Database: Stake Your PGP Key Here to understand why you need to know it. If you are an Electrum wallet user then I am pretty sure you have seen a signature link next to the installation file. You also seen a warning notification on the top which talks about a fake copy of Electrum.Long story short, PGP gives you extensive privacy and you can easily validate the authentic source of your received file/text. In this tutorial we will learn...
# How to create PGP Signed message and signature # How to verify a PGP Signed message and signature # How to encrypt a message # How to decrypt a message
Once you get a good grip of these 4 basics, I believe you will be able to grab the rest without having any further assistance.
Before we start, it's gonna help you if I give you a brief. PGP consist of two Keys... 1. Private key <=== You need it to decrypt a content 1. a) You also need a passphrase, in other words a strong password. 2. Public key <=== You need it to encrypt a content
Think about a very sensitive message you want to email to your friend. You don't want any gov agency or any spy read the message. These people can easily access your email server. To avoid it, ask you friend to give his PGP public key. Once you have it then encrypt the message and email the encrypted message to your friend. Now only your friend can decrypt it because he knows the private key.
Warning: Do not share your private key and passphrase with anyone. Download and Installation Go to top You will need Kleopatra desktop application. Click here and download gpg4win-3.1.1.exe (this is the current version, you might find the same or a different version but don't mind, whatever the version they will have on their server, it will be downloaded). Once download done, go ahead and install the application (I assume, you know basics of installing an application). Once installation done, you will be seeing Kleopatra icon on your desktop.Create Your First Private and Public Keys Go to top1.

Thank you. This was the raw message which was encrypted before.Some of the example PGP Public Keys you might be interested to explore or have it imported.Welcome to the exercises section. Before we start, here is what you wanna do. 1. Create a New Key Pair with the following information Name: ex-<your bitcoinTalk username> Email: <yourBitcoinTalkUsername@BitcoinTalk.com> i.e: Name: ex-mdayonliner Email: <mdayonliner@BitcoinTalk.com> We don't actually want to use our real name and email address for these exercises. The username part with the prefix ex- will help me and others to identify that we are communicating with you.2. Have your Fingerprint published on the online server. It's gonna help me and other members to access your public key for encrypted communication.
We will have two assignments to practice. I will think of an award later for the successful participants.
Assignment 1: PGP Singed Message and Signature - Coming soon. Assignment 2: Encrypt and Decrypt Message - Coming soon.Click here for my Fingerprint on the server.81DAEE690159E01E28FF951086FEA0B65C6E1B2C electrobit: Could someone explain what is the purpose or advantages about to create or make a PGP? Answer
Please feel free to ask any question in the comment. I will add them in here with the answer. If I do not have the answer then I will try to seek senior members' help or I will find an answer for your question. Make sure the question is related to the topic. Husna QA: The topic PGP/GPG Signed Message - Public Key in his/her local language was the starter for me to start my learning. I am happy that I was good enough to understand the translation in English. TryNinja: Provided some URLs which cleared my head to understand better. hugeblack: Suggested the idea of adding some example PGP Public Keys. All the members who were leaving their PGP PUBLIC KEYs all around the forum. Seeing these encrypted codes were interesting for me and finally I decided to investigate what was it all about. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy http://www.pitt.edu/~poole/PGP.htm
This tutorial will be continued with further materials in future Looking forward to your expertise review and feedback

Thank you for fixing the broken image links. I have been also looking for this. One thing I'm unsure of, it the guide up to date? The original thread is bit old. Is there any smartphone guide available? Many doesn't have any desktop devices.

All of the software mentioned in this article should work with the latest operating systems, and last time I checked, they had the exact same user interfaces as seen in this guide. So it should still work right now. There are some smartphone apps that can import your PGP key and encrypt messages with it, although I do not believe any of these have integrations with email. But it's simple enough if you're just sending text content without attachments.

This tutorial will be continued with further materials in future Looking forward to your expertise review and feedback I suggest you complement it with your own experience in practising it, as in the past, mdayonliner wrote its version by using my thread PGP/GPG Signed Message - Public Key in Indonesian as a reference*. In my thread, it is intended for several OS with several methods and applications: - [Tutorial] PGP/GPG (Mac OS X) - Husna QA- [Tutorial] PGP/GPG (Microsoft Windows) - Husna QA- [Tutorial] PGP/GPG (Linux) - joniboiniThose who need the information may be able to use a machine translation to understand it.

I have tried the latest version of gpg4win and the user interface seems almost the same. There are some changes, but I guess you won't face issues understanding the new UI. If you face difficulties understanding something, you can post here and many members will help you including me. About the Android version: Currently I am testing an Android, if I can do all the necessary steps with the app I am trying, I will share in this community. But I guess most of us use Desktop. I suggest you complement it with your own experience in practising it, as in the past, mdayonliner wrote its version by using my thread PGP/GPG Signed Message - Public Key in Indonesian as a reference*. In my thread, is intended for several OS with several methods and applications: I have tried it myself. I have written a beginner tutorial in the Bengali version. Since the English version is already available, I did not want to write it again. I fixed the broken images instead. Moreover, I do not have several OS at this moment. But, I will try if I can.

Of course, he has to do his research about the mobile apps before using them to avoid any possible threat if there be any, but PGP is best for PCs but not everyone has access to a PC most times to that extent, the mobile app should fit in as an alternative to convey secured encrypted messages.

I suggest you complement it with your own experience in practising it, as in the past, mdayonliner wrote its version by using my thread PGP/GPG Signed Message - Public Key in Indonesian as a reference*. In my thread, it is intended for several OS with several methods and applications: Haha. A funny thing happened to me last night. I wanted to dual boot my PC with Fedora workstation 38 and needed at least 15 GB of unallocated free space in the same drive. I had 137 GB of free space available, but when I tried to shrink the drive, it allowed me to shrink a maximum of 14 GB. So, I deleted some files and turned off some Windows features shown in a YouTube video tutorial. After installing the OS, I noticed my Windows files got corrupted, and I had to format the SSD without having any backup. My HDD was also damaged simultaneously with 1.5 TB of files, and now I got fu**d up. I found some bugs and difficulties on Fedora workstation 38, so I installed Debian 12 this time. I hope everything will be fine, and I guess it's my end with Windows! I am already having some difficulties with Linux as I am a new user.

As the members mentioned above, it is better to rephrase the topic in your own personal style, or at least try out even a limited part of the explanation and try to show an updated version of the UI. In general, mdayonliner did a great job on this topic and I was surprised at how it was deceived in a similar topic weeks later. Overall, add your personal touch to future topics and keep up the good work.

I would love to test it on my mobile device. Of course, all of these are solely for testing purposes. I don't intend to use it on a daily basis. So if you give me some names and references, it would be of great help.

Thanks for your suggestion. The thread was well explained and too long already. I don't think I could organize the thread the way the previous thread creator did the job. Since the tutorial is already available and the UI did not change much, I just fixed the images here. But as you and others suggested, I was trying to switch to another OS just for this PGP Tutorial purpose, and I destroyed my Windows OS by mistake. I am currently setting my Debian 12 OS and I am already having some difficulties. I will develop a short, basic tutorial on PGP encryption/decryption for Linux users. But I am unsure if I should create a new thread or post it here as a reply. If I post as a reply, I think it won't get many views.

Haha. A funny thing happened to me last night. I wanted to dual boot my PC with Fedora workstation 38 and needed at least 15 GB of unallocated free space in the same drive. I had 137 GB of free space available, but when I tried to shrink the drive, it allowed me to shrink a maximum of 14 GB. So, I deleted some files and turned off some Windows features shown in a YouTube video tutorial. After installing the OS, I noticed my Windows files got corrupted, and I had to format the SSD without having any backup. My HDD was also damaged simultaneously with 1.5 TB of files, and now I got fu**d up. I found some bugs and difficulties on Fedora workstation 38, so I installed Debian 12 this time. I hope everything will be fine, and I guess it's my end with Windows! I am already having some difficulties with Linux as I am a new user. I once experienced something like what you experienced when I was just learning computers (I remember using Windows 98). Because the hard disk capacity was starting to fill up, I deleted several Windows OS files, which turned out to be system files from the OS, and the result was that the OS became corrupt. However, I can learn from this experience. Instead of using dual boot by dividing partitions, why don't you first try using a virtual machine such as a virtual box or others to test specific operating systems, including PGP Signature on different OS? I use MacOS as the primary OS. I run other OS using a virtual machine for testing PGP Signature or another application.

Well, I didn't realize I am this much bad at setting up OS. I thought it wouldn't be that hard to set up OS in dual boot as I already shrank enough space for the Debian 12. I always get a suggestion from time to time to switch to Linux. So, I wanted to migrate there but I wanted to keep the Windows OS as well. A virtual machine could have been a good option, but I don't know why I didn't try a virtual machine first. I had some weird experience setting up the OS. I have two SSDs installed and I installed the Debian 12 on my 240 GB storage. For some reason, if I unplug my other SSD which is 500 GB, the OS does not boot. This is weird. So, I removed that SSD again and installed Windows again. Now I am setting up the Debian 12 again. I hope everything will be fine after this attempt.

To sign messages and encrypt/decrypt files with Kleopatra you may use the hardware pgp cards that hold your private keys. To do this insert your card to USB port, launch Kleopatra and import the public key relevant to private one holding by that card. After this you will be able to do all sign/encrypt/decrypt operation relying solely on your smart card. gpg code for card setup gpg --allow-secret-key-import --import <path to secret key file>
gpg --expert --edit-key <KeyID>
gpg> toggle
gpg> keytocard
(answer Yes and then choose 1)
gpg> key 1
gpg> keytocard
(answer Yes and then choose 2)
gpg> key 1
gpg> key 2
gpg> keytocard
(answer Yes and then choose 3)
gpg> quit
Choose No ( If you choose Yes, local security key will be deleted and thus, can't be imported into another card)
