Title: I cant work out how to get my Public Key
Post by: XR6 on September 10, 2012, 10:44 am

Hi Guys,

Last question I hope; I'm using Kelopatra and have set everything up and sent encrypted messages and received replies so have that worked out. Now I want to send my Public Key to those I send messages to so they can reply encrypted...... problem is I cant work out how to get it or where .

I've gone through the options with Kleo but the closest thing I can find is "Export Secret Key"...... is this it.

Thanking you in advance

If you're using Kleopatra, then you're on Linux right?  Just do this in a terminal:

gpg --export <email address associated with key>

and copy what it spits into the terminal.

That should be:

gpg -a --export <matching string (username, email, whatever)>

That will get the ASCII armoured output version.  Also, I believe Kleopatra is also available for Windows.
