1. To export your key as an ASCII file that you can share: $ gpg --armor --export keyid
Instead of keyid, you can use your email address, or other text that identifies your key. You can actually export your whole public keyring this way. Then share it or put it on a web page, like http://limestone.truman.edu/~dbindner/public.txt 2. Your public and private keyrings are usually stored by default in ~/.gnupg 3. You can generate public and private keys for SSH, but you have to use an SSH tool for that. $ ssh-keygen Keep the private part in ~/.ssh/id_rsa and add the contents of id_rsa.pub to the end of ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the system you'd like to login to (make a new file if it doesn't exist). $ cat id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys $ chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys Don On Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 03:20:23AM -0600, Huan Truong wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hi Don et al, > > It looks like I have created a digital signature for myself and it > works!
