man, every time I want to give this another try the tremendous effort involved to even begin is off-putting. Here Marge prepares her public key: [marge@apl marge]$ gpg --armor --export marge@aplawrence.com > mypk To add Marges public key, Tom does this (he's saved the file as "margepk"): [tom@apl tom]$ gpg --import margepk [tom@apl tom]$ gpg --list-keys [tom@apl tom]$ gpg --edit-key marge@aplawrence.com Command> fpr Command> sign [tom@apl tom]$ gpg --out secrets_to_marge --encrypt secrets [tom@apl tom]$ ls -l sec* [marge@apl marge]$ gpg --output secrets_from_tom --decrypt secrets_to_marge And voila! "That's it. GPG is actually pretty simple, and nothing to get a headache over."
