Quote from: stemcell on January 21, 2013, 02:19 pmi would have potsed this in the newbie forum but there is no "post new thread" or reply on the tabs when i go to ask for help.i know how to take a vendors PGP and send them an encrypted message. What I cant figure out is how to generate my own PGP key so someone can message me encrypted, then also how to un encrypt it. can anyone tell me the steps? surely it cant be any more complicated than sending an encrypted message.Thank you in advance.What has me a little confused is how you say you can encrypt a message to a vendor, yet you don't know how to generate your own key? Most implementations of GPG that I've seen will prompt you, after installation, to generate a PGP key of your own. I fimd myself wondering if you're using one of those blasted web implementions like igolder.com. Is that what you're using (or PortablePGP), which is equally as bad?If you don't tell us what you're using, how do you expect anyone to be able to help you? We're not mind-readers. If I were in your shoes, I'd use GPG4USB.
