Key Management

You can use the key management functions for the following purposes:
  • You want to use your Guard PGP keys in other email clients, e.g. in local email clients.
  • You have PGP keys from other PGP applications. You want to use those keys in Guard.
  • You have an external contact's public key. In order to send encrypted messages to this external contact or verify received signed messages without having to access a key server, you want to import the partner's public key into Guard.
  • You want to provide your public key to an external contact in order to allow the external contact to send encrypted messages to you without the need to access a key server.
You have the following options:
