Quote from: Ridinthesilkroadinalambo on September 06, 2012, 02:30 amSo im newbie here and am confused about this whole GPG?PGP thing! I understand that this is a program that allows you to communicate with others anonymously but im at a loss as to how it works really. Ive spent about a week or so getting things together so im secure and anonymous on sr but honestly ive hit a road block! I downloaded the gpg4win program and generated 2 keys but i have no idea what to do next. I tried searching the forum and was only able to find,in my opinion, overly technical, methods and honestly it confuses this newbie.Im probably safe in assuming that most people on here kno what they're doing, otherwise they wouldnt be able to be on here.Im so fuckin frustrated tho, if someone could please,please help me with directions/instructions on how to properly work this program on windows! :o :o :o :oIt doesn't provide anonymity (so you need to be careful that the name and email are your SR pseudonym and a fake or anonymous email address), it provides the ability to encrypt your messages.You provide your public key to people and obtain their public key from them (or here on the forum or from vendor pages). Messages are encrypted with those public keys and only people with the corresponding secret key can decrypt and read the messages.I recommend you read this thread:http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=131.0Then go to PGP Club to practice:http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=30938.0For details on how to correctly label your key and why it is important, see this thread:http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=33566.0For links to other important GPG posts see this thread:http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=38861.0
