=================
|
|
|
|
## Listing Key Pairs
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
gpg --list-keys
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For listing keys with the fingerprint, run
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
gpg --fingerprint
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Generate New Key Pair
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
gpg --gen-key
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Encrypt a message on command line
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
echo "Put message here" | gpg --armor --encrypt --recipient Joshua > FILE.gpg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will put the encrypted text into `FILE.gpg` which you can send to someone or keep for
|
|
later use. For decrypting the message, see the next section.
|
|
|
|
## Decrypt a message from the command line
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cat FILE.gpg | gpg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Displays the decrypted text on the command line.
|
|
|
|
## Only display user X's key information
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
gpg --fingerprint Joshua
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Signing Messages
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
echo "This is a top secret message" | gpg --clearsign
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Signing Text Files
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
gpg --clearsign example.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will create `example.txt.asc` file.
|
|
|
|
## Verify Signatures
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
gpg --verifiy example.txt.asc
|
|
```
|
|
