GnuPG (GPG)


What is GnuPG (GPG), and where it can be used?

We can use the GnuPG, known as the encrypted files, to encrypt files for confidentiality, integrity and authentication files. This article checks the minimum commands that require the minimum commands needed to encrypt a file.

GnuPG is a tool complaining the open PGP described in the RFC4880. It is used for secure communication and data storage. It has a robust key management system and easily integrates with other apps. In addition, to encrypt and sign the data, it supports S / Mime, Safe Shell (SSH).

Package collections reflect over the world. Digital signatures ensure you get the exact copy of the original passage, not a malicious version from the non-compromise. Using Open PGP programs such as GPG to sign and confirm that packages.

Local disk encryption rests on your Powered Laptop. However, make sure that only the intended recipient can open a file to a shared folder; you will need to drop that individual file to a shared folder; you need to encrypt that separate file. The Wires certificates save TLS certificates using email or web-based drop boxes. A file can be encrypted with a symmetrical key or uneven vital pairs to open PGP products.

How to encrypt and decrypt a file with a shared secret?

The GnuPG is installed to encrypt or decrypt a file with a shared secret. To specify the symmetric encryption, use the -c or --symmetric option, and pass the file you want to encrypt. You will be asked to enter a passphrase for the encrypted file.

How to work with Public Keys?

Sharing secrets is not insecure and not scale, and specific recipient files of proposed recipients are often encrypted with the recipient's public key. The owner of the private key can decrypt the file only. To send the encrypted file using the recipient's public key, you should first import that public key. Using the signs and the public keys are used.

How to import a Public Key?

If the recipient has entered an email or key to the website, use the type of --import option. For example, if you report a security vulnerability or run a companion with a company, their safety team posted on their contact page.

How to encrypt a file with the recipient's Public Key?

Use the -e or --encrypt option to encrypt a file. If you do not specify the recipient with the -r or --recipient option, you will be asked to identify the user ID and Email address; setting the user ID is often straightforward.

How to Check a Signature?

Sometimes it is a problem message or file secret, but an authenticity. An email or a package file was devised with a private key and verified by a private key. Fedora gives CHECKSUM files to confirm downloads and files that Fedora GPG key marked the files recorded on their safety page. After Importing the GPG key, I can check the signature of the CHECKSUM file with the reverse option.
