Thanks for the info Doug. I don't think I have ever encrypted a file with more than one key. Would the command be something like the example below?
gpg --output test.txt.gpg --encrypt --recipient 359B3EB2 DAE72D59 test.txt (where 359B3EB2 is their key and DAE72D59 is our key) Tom Chitwood MCP, MCSE, CNA Wellpoint Account Information Technology Services Americas Global Services, IBM 818.234.4118 From: Doug Barton <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 10/19/2010 09:56 AM Subject: Re: Encrypting a file Sent by: [email protected] On 10/19/2010 9:50 AM, Thomas Chitwood wrote: > > I have a customer that wants me to send him my public key Perfectly valid.

You sign a message with your private key, he verifies the signature with your public key. You encrypt messages TO public keys (your and his) and then you each use your private keys to decrypt them. If I were in your shoes I'd simply encrypt the file to my key and his, and send it to him. Chances are excellent that it will all work according to plan.
