Any of the above may be the best option for a given set of requirements. If I wish to use my keys on a new machine, option a or redirecting gpg.conf to keyrings (& trustdb) on portable media is probably the route I'd take. If I wanted to share a central keyring of, for example, customer keys, I probably go with option c. > Also could anyone please give me an example of the syntax for adding > keyring references to gpg.conf? no-default-keyring primary-keyring pubring.gpg keyring O:\GnuPG\pubring.gpg keyring strong.gpg keyring trusted.gpg secret-keyring secring.gpg secret-keyring O:\GnuPG\secring.gpg These should be explained in gpg2.man which should be in the share\gnupg directory under gpg2's onstallation directory, default on Windows: C:\Program Files\GNU\GnuPG2\share\gnupg\gpg2.man.
