This interface allows you create, store, and manage GnuPG keys. GnuPG keys use the public key approach for encryption.
Programs that use GnuPG keys encrypt outbound messages with a public key. Only the intended recipient, who possesses the private key, can decrypt the message.
Create a New Key
To add a GnuPG key, perform the following steps:
.1Enter your information in the Create a New Key text boxes.
ImportantUse a secure password. A secure password is not a dictionary word, and it contains uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
NoteUse an appropriate expiration date for your key. The system defaults to one year (1y).
.2Select the key size, in bits, from the Key Size menu. The key size defaults to 2048.
.3Click Generate Key.
After you create a new GnuPG key, you can add the key to other programs or interfaces that require GnuPG keys, for example, a mail client.
Import a key
To import an existing GnuPG key, perform the following steps:
.1Copy and paste the GnuPGkey into the available text box.
