I just recently created a pgp key on an offline tails with kleopatra. But what to do with it now?

many purposes. sending an encrypted message to someone else or receiving one from someone else, or signing a non-encrypted message. for example you can sign a non-encrypted text with your email, nostr public key, whatever [username] on [whatever service]

that way through the history of usage it's easy to be connected in a sea of anonymity.

Just created it out curiosity. Thanks for the examples. I surely have to learn how to actually use it.

For instance see this as an example of a signed message. You then copy paste that including the pgp signature into kleopatra to verify its indeed from that fingerprint.

Thanks for the example.

One follow up question.

Does this mean I have to have my keys online? I assumed you sign things with the private key.

No. You can use your keys offline and sign and encrypt offline.

Ah good. Wasn't unsure for a second.

Encrypt your files, or stack a double encryption mode - pgp+7zip password -

Get a yubikey and use it with pgp and 2 factor authentication.

Make a wot party 😹

I think I'll try single encryption first before I start the party. But I could, have two yubikeys laying in my deskπŸ˜‚

This is great, thanks for sharing. Just took a quick look and I think this is what I need. Much appreciated. 🀝
