PGP/GnuPG for Dummies
Hi All

Been trying to figure out how to use the PGP and GnuPG encryption keys and things.

I snagged WinPT and installed GnuPG on my XP machine.

Could someone give me a rundown of the basics on how the whole encryption process works? I'm not quite getting which keys go where, how to apply them to encrypt/decrypt things, etc.

We'll be doing pretty much two things:

1. Encrypting order information on the site to be downloaded and then decrypted locally

2. Encrypting email

Also, can GnuPG read PGP-encrypted material?

Thanks very much Smile
