FAQ

Questions.

What is PGP encryption?

PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is an encryption program that provides cryptographic privacy and authentication. It's widely used for email encryption, file encryption, and digital signatures.

How does PGP differ from other encryption?

PGP uses a hybrid system: asymmetric encryption (RSA) for key exchange and symmetric encryption (AES) for the actual message. This combines the security of RSA with the speed of AES.

What is an ASCII-armored key?

ASCII-armored format is a text-based encoding of PGP keys that makes them safe for email and text transmission. They start with -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC/PRIVATE KEY BLOCK----- headers.

Should I use a passphrase for my private key?

Yes! A passphrase adds an extra layer of security. Even if someone steals your private key file, they can't use it without the passphrase.

Can I use this with email clients?

Yes! The keys generated here are compatible with email clients like Thunderbird (with Enigmail), Apple Mail, Outlook (with plugins), and webmail services like ProtonMail.

What's the difference between encrypting and signing?

Encryption makes the message unreadable to everyone except the recipient (privacy). Signing proves the message came from you and hasn't been altered (authenticity). You can do both!

How do I share my public key?

You can post it on your website, upload to key servers (like keys.openpgp.org), include in email signatures, or send directly to correspondents. It's meant to be public!

Is PGP still relevant in 2024?

Yes! PGP remains the gold standard for email encryption and is widely used by journalists, activists, developers, and anyone who needs strong privacy. It's the foundation of modern encrypted communication.
