Created page with " == Import Public/Private Key == It doesn't make a difference if its a private key or public key, this is the correct way to import a key. gpg --import file.gpg == Export P..."

New page

== Import Public/Private Key ==
It doesn't make a difference if its a private key or public key, this is the correct way to import a key.
gpg --import file.gpg

== Export Public Key ==

This is the command to export your public key, using the armor command will convert the key from binary to ascii, so you can email it or post it.

gpg --armor --export you@example.com > mykey.asc

Another way

gpg --output mykey_pub.gpg --armor --export me@email.com

If you have more then one key another way where ABAACA is the hash.

gpg --output mykey_pub.gpg --armor --export ABAACA

== Export Private Key ==
To export your private key.

gpg --output mykey_sec.gpg --armor --export-secret-key me@email.com

another way, where ABAACA is the hash

gpg --output mykey_sec.gpg --armor --export-secret-key ABAACA
