Setting up GPG [basic]

This is what I basically do

gpg --search-keys myfriend@mailhost.de

gpg --edit-key <foreign ID>
> trust
   ...
> sign
   ...
> save

gpg --refresh-keys
gpg --list-sigs <ID>

-----------------

gpg --gen-key

gpg --list-keys


# To add more identities/mail addresses
gpg --edit-key <your key ID 8 hex chars>
> adduid

gpg --output pubkey_D5446587.ascii --armor --export D5446587

# gpg --export -a "Henning Diesenberg" --output


# Create revocation certificate
gpg --output revocation_cert_D5446587.ascii --gen-revoke D5446587

gpg --output privkey_D5446587.ascii --armor --export-secret-keys D5446587

# Send key to a public server, in this case
gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --send-key 0xD5446587


# To remove Identities from the key
# Note that your keys change then!
gpg --edit-key <ID>
> revuid

# Then update your certs by revoking them (use your revocation certificate)
gpg --import revocation_cert_D5446587.ascii 

# And update the modified keys on the server
gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --refresh-keys D544657
# OR
gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --send-keys 0xD5446587



# Now install enigmail
sudo apt-get install enigmail


# Enigmail: attach public key
#           sign public key (don't forget to check fingerprint!)
# (to display fingerprint:)
gpg --fingerprint <ID>
