PGP, Windows
From Andreida
- get PGP software from Gpg4win and install it
- run Kleopatra (that is Gpg4win)
- create/import a key for you
- don't use a password for it, you will go crazy if you use a password
- export the secret, private key (which has the public key in the file too)
- export the public key
- create a revocation certificate (double click your key)
- save the fingerprint
- all these files and information are just text, so you can either
- keep the files somewhere safe or
- put the content of the files into a password safe (yagodu)
- install Enigmail for your e-mail client
For the Enigmail preferences, I prefer for now:
- Enigmail Preferences
- Automatically send encrypted: if possible
- Account settings
- Encrypt messages by default: no
- Sign messages by default: yes
- Use PHP/MIME by default: yes
- sign non-encrypted messages: yes
- sign encrypted messages: yes
