Chapter 3. Using Kgpg

There are two ways to encrypt your data:

Key encryption is a bit more complicated (you must exchange keys with your friends) but safer. Remember that if you encrypt a key with someone else's key, you will not be able to decrypt it. You can only decrypt messages that have been encrypted with your public key.

Generating a key

If you don't have a key, Kgpg will automatically pop up the key generation dialog at the first startup. You can also access it in the Key Manager from Keys->Generate Key Pair.



Simply enter your name, Email address and click Ok. This will generate a standard gpg key. If you want more options, you can click on the Expert mode button, which will bring up a Konsole window with all of gpg's options.
