Title: Using GPG on Tails
Post by: Alexadren5069 on May 21, 2012, 11:16 pm
I am having some difficulties figuring out how to use GPG on Tails. There is no certain application like on Liberte. Does anybody with experience using GPG on Tails mind giving me a tutorial? Thanks in advance

(in a similar situation)

I imported a vendors publc key into Gedit, fine.
Then I encrypted a message using that key.
But when a vendor responds what will I decrypt the message with? Their public key? Couldn't anyone decrypt that message then?

You need to send the vendor your public key. He uses that to encrypt his messages to you. You then decrypt these messages using your private key.

Thanks for that, I knew it would be something obvious o.O

For anyone else;
system->preferences->password and encryption keys
file->new  follow above settings to generate key
after making key, to export complete key go to properties->details->export complete key
to export public key go to file->export
