#Making keys
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Generate keys:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> gpg --full-gen-key
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Follow the guide.

# Encrypting a file
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> gpg -r malinfreeborn@googlemail.com -e file
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`-r` specifies the recipient.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Check you have an encrypted version of your file.

# Changing Expiration Dates
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
gpg --list-keys
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
... and then use the second part of 'pub', which is the ID. But that's not appearing here so... on with gpg2?
