On macOS 15, gpg (GnuPG) 2.4.8, libgcrypt 1.11.1. ```bash # Import someone's key and verify fingerprint. gpg --import their_key.pub.asc gpg --fingerprint someone@example.com # Encrypt a message. If you use your email address, you'll encrypt # the message for yourself :) Long and short args. echo "Secret lunch plans at 2pm." | gpg --encrypt --armor --recipient someone@example.com > encrypted.txt echo "Secret lunch plans at 2pm." | gpg -ear somebody@example.com > encrypted.txt # Decrypt gpg --decrypt encrypted.txt gpg -d encrypted.txt ``` ### Setup ```bash # Generating a key. This is interactive. Used the defaults, except # a key size of 4096 bytes. gpg --full-generate-key # If you messed up, remove the key gpg --delete-secret-and-public-keys you@example.com # Export the key (for your website or email signature; --armor makes it ASCII). gpg --armor --export you@example.com > my_key.pub.asc # Export the PRIVATE key (be careful!) gpg --armor --export-secret-keys you@example.com > my_key.priv.asc # On another machine, import if you'd like gpg --import my_key.pub.asc gpg --import my_key.priv.asc # List all public and private keys gpg --list-keys gpg --list-secret-keys ``` You can now [upload your key to OpenPGP.org](https://keys.openpgp.org/upload).
