You can sign your message with your signature - and this will contain
your public key and the other side can import this.

How to?

2017-04-07 Thread Goos

Trying to create a footer in which recievers of my mail are invited
to use Gnu PG encryption and  my public key has to be added.
Is there an easy way to automate that, or do I have to add manually
a TXT file with that info?

(Perhaps it may be done with some macro, but it is over ten years
since I used a macro).

Mail on Webmail with GnuPG is quite difficult - I don't know any
provider which support this. You could use WinPT to encrypt your mail
locally and copy the encrypted ascii armor file to the webmail text
field. But this is not a very nice solution IMHO.

To use GnuPG is better with mail client (like TheBat or
Thunderbird/Enigmail or ClawsMail for Windows and more for Linux and
others for Android).

And their encryption tool also has to be Gnu PG? Or doesn't it matter which
one they use?

Yes, so, they are different encryption tools. Thanks for telling me
that. I thought the basis was all the same, just different companies
who made tools around the same encryption method.

Understood.
Then, I have to convince first some to also install GnuPG in their
mailclient - if they are using webmail, thea, in turn, have to ask
that to their admins?

Kleopatra does not start at all at any of my Windows 10 computers,
neither called from inside The Bat, not standalone from the desktop.
But the alternative, GPA does work.
GPA was called from inside TB and the two key files were created.

Kind regards,

Only the latter.

Yes, unless there is another way to obtain their public keys. You'll
encrypt with their public keys, and then they can decrypt with their
private keys.

First: PGP is not GnuPG. It seems that you installed now GnuPG
Second: You can encrypt mail to people where you have their public key
in your public key ring. So you have to contact them to get the public
key or you download it from a keyserver - if it is stored there.

You can start Kleopatra as standalone program which was installed by
gpg4win. Does this work? So there you can create your key.

Then in TheBat you have to add in GnuPG configuration where the key
files are stored.

Already for many years I failed to implement PGP in my email correspondence.
However, I am a step further now, but still things are not ready yet.

First, the GNU-PG manager needed to be added to the 'allowed' programs'
in the security programs one uses. Except for the AVG-Suite I have the
three tools from WinPatrol. After the PGP-manager was whitelisted in those
tools, it started and I could create my PGP keys.

Second, with the help of the https://www.ritlabs.com/en/support/help/75/#6660
site, I could export the Public Key to a file.

Third
In TB, under Account - Properties - Options I checked the options
Sign when completed
Enable OpenPGP
I hope, the Public key will be added now as a footer to any message in
this account.

But fourth..
I do not understand this really.
Can I now encrypt any message or only those to people who also use
PGP?
Do I have to contact them all first to ask that?

Hoping to get a helpful answer,
regards,
Gunivortus
