you can use just gpg --gen-key or in KDE open kgpg and go to the Keys menu and select Generate Key Pair. and it will ask you all the required parameters like type of encryption, email, etc and the passprhase to protect the private key (dont forget that one) The key par will be stored by default in a keyring in ~/.gnupg , you can add more keys there too. content.key is an ASCII armored export of your public key. You can export it with the command line mentioned above, or again, use kgpg to export it from your key ring. content.asc is the detached signature produced by signing content with your private key. This can be done with the command line above, or kgpg: - Go to Configure Kpg -> Misc -> Applet & Menus - Enable Sign file service menu. - Now you can sign content file right clicking it in Konqueror.
