Certainly that sounds like a good idea. Stephan, Thanks again for your help. I am playing around with generating my keys, importing others and encrypting and decrypting. I was thinking of ways to get my key out to people without using the keyservers and instead attaching my public key to my email seemed like a good idea. I noticed you have two, one called 0x4218732B.asc and another called signature.asc. Am I correct in assuming your first one is your public key? The second one I'm not sure what it is for. I thought maybe you were signing your public key so I ran the following but got a BAD signature message so I thought maybe it's for something else - david@system:~/Downloads$ gpg2 --verify signature.asc 0x4218732B.asc gpg: Signature made Wed 23 Nov 2016 11:41:22 AM EST gpg: using RSA key 5E77973C5ED0E692 gpg: Can't check signature: No public key david@system:~/Downloads$ gpg2 --import 0x4218732B.asc gpg: key 1CA0EF5E4218732B: public key "Stephan Beck <sb...@mailbox.org>" imported gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: imported: 1 david@system:~/Downloads$ gpg2 --verify signature.asc 0x4218732B.asc gpg: Signature made Wed 23 Nov 2016 11:41:22 AM EST gpg: using RSA key 5E77973C5ED0E692 gpg: BAD signature from "Stephan Beck <sb...@mailbox.org>" [unknown] Thanks! _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
