Title: PGP is killing me
Post by: skitta78 on April 27, 2013, 05:20 am
I know there are hours and pages of how etc but I cant get it to happen. On a Mac OSX with Mail Version 6.3 (1503).
Ive installed tje Keychain, configured the preferemces. Ive generated sec and pubic keys to 2 of my email accounts on Mail. Ive managed to send encrypted mail between both of my own accounts and can even use text editor to decrypt a message. But these are all between my own accounts on my own computer. If I copy my pubic key to say example a public site where anyone can access my pubic key how do they then use it to send me an encrypted message?
Can someone please do this for me. Write a simple sentence and encrypt with my public key so I can see if I can open it on my computer here. My Public GPG key is;

So with this alone can you send me an encrypted message that I can open on my own computer that no else can. Am I meant to provide an email address or what else is needed to make this work. Ive wasted hours on this and Im ready to give up.

Confirmed, you did something wrong.

gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: decrypt_message failed

Using  gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.9 in Windows XP

I'm not a Mac user, so I'm not sure where to start with your set up. Have you considered using the GnuPG recommended Mac install at https://gpgtools.org/  ??

I only use the command line for my GPG activities, I find it much easier than using GUI's/Mail modules/plugins/etc, but that's just me. If you can get gpg working in a terminal window, I can walk you through everything you need to do using the command line.

Here is my key if you want to try importing it and encrypting a message back in this thread:

Hi - I've encrypted a message with your public. I've also included my public key within the encrypted message. If you'd like, you may PM me if you want. I'd be happy to help you out. It seems difficult at first, but it's pretty simple and straighforward after you get the hang of it.

It's a common problem with OSX. I think it's to do with OSes having different line ending characters or some similar esoteric bullshit.

The fastest way to solve it is to upload the key (via Tor in your case) to a key server.

Copy paste it into MIT's public key server. Make sure your PGP key doesn't use your real name or a real email address first!

Then once it's processed it'll sort out those invisible characters for us, copy it from that webpage onto here and we'll try it again.

Looks like other users have more insight into your use with respect to Macs. You might be able to find/change encoding options in order to make it work right.

You are definitely making it work though, your message is confirmed:

gpg: encrypted with RSA key, ID 6C1D3C04
gpg: encrypted with 4096-bit RSA key, ID 89F92745, created 2013-04-27
      "Parafoil129 <parafoil129@safe-mail.net>"
Did this work?

Why cant this be any simpler?

What you have posted is not even a valid key.

Regrettably, it may be the case that pgp and the like are just beyond you. 

Since that appears to be the case, you have picked the perfect icon for it, a guy with a blank face.

Don't despair, everybody was not meant to go to college or learn pgp, or be able to walk and chew gum
at the same time.  Everybody has strengths though, I know people pretty well and I'll bet that you are a very
soporific conversationalist.  Am I right, a real people person you are?

I know there are hours and pages of how etc but I cant get it to happen. On a Mac OSX with Mail Version 6.3 (1503).
Ive installed tje Keychain, configured the preferemces. Ive generated sec and pubic keys to 2 of my email accounts on Mail. Ive managed to send encrypted mail between both of my own accounts and can even use text editor to decrypt a message. But these are all between my own accounts on my own computer. If I copy my pubic key to say example a public site where anyone can access my pubic key how do they then use it to send me an encrypted message?
Can someone please do this for me. Write a simple sentence and encrypt with my public key so I can see if I can open it on my computer here. My Public GPG key is;

Looks like other users have more insight into your use with respect to Macs. You might be able to find/change encoding options in order to make it work right.

You are definitely making it work though, your message is confirmed:

gpg: encrypted with RSA key, ID 6C1D3C04
gpg: encrypted with 4096-bit RSA key, ID 89F92745, created 2013-04-27
      "Parafoil129 <parafoil129@safe-mail.net>"
Did this work?

So it works for some but not for others. I must be doing something wrong. Im generally ok with computers but this has really got me stuck.

SUCCESS! I was able to import your key. It is not too hard once you get the hang of it. Sure it is frustrating when you are just getting started, believe me, but don't give up. Strong encryption is totally worth it. Here is a message for you, unreadable by sour bananas like Ginni138:

So here is my new PUB Key.

Hopefully it works or I give up. Ive spent nearly a day trying to figure this out. Its either me or the computer/software. Im sure it could not be this complicated??

Please give this a try. Thank you for your patience.

I know there are hours and pages of how etc but I cant get it to happen. On a Mac OSX with Mail Version 6.3 (1503).
Ive installed tje Keychain, configured the preferemces. Ive generated sec and pubic keys to 2 of my email accounts on Mail. Ive managed to send encrypted mail between both of my own accounts and can even use text editor to decrypt a message. But these are all between my own accounts on my own computer. If I copy my pubic key to say example a public site where anyone can access my pubic key how do they then use it to send me an encrypted message?
Can someone please do this for me. Write a simple sentence and encrypt with my public key so I can see if I can open it on my computer here. My Public GPG key is;

So with this alone can you send me an encrypted message that I can open on my own computer that no else can. Am I meant to provide an email address or what else is needed to make this work. Ive wasted hours on this and Im ready to give up.


Hi - I've encrypted a message with your public. I've also included my public key within the encrypted message. If you'd like, you may PM me if you want. I'd be happy to help you out. It seems difficult at first, but it's pretty simple and straighforward after you get the hang of it.

Sorry I could not decrypt this message. Im trying a new Pub Key in a couple of minutes.

Well my PGP imported/read your key perfectly. It read it as belonging to Oze Pharma <ozepharma@live.com>. Is that right? If so let me try again. I may have hit the wrong key.

I gave up trying to get GPG working properly on a Mac...

Just go to Sourceforge and get "PortablePGP" (Mac version)

10000x easier

To import public keys, copy and paste the block into TextEdit, save as Plain Text file (name not important), import that file into PortablePGP.

You can encrypt & decrypt everything there with a single click. Simples!

Yoshitoshi is absolutely right about PortablePGP. I didn't know there was a Mac version. I run it on Linux. It's great because you can run it from a thumb drive.

Since that appears to be the case, you have picked the perfect icon for it, a guy with a blank face.


Anyone who does not like U2 can never be trusted.
