PGP -- please help asap

I have finally got to the shopping cart stage on Nuculus and its now asking me for a shipping address. Is this where I begin the PGP stage? I have tried to download the GnuPG tool as instructed but it has just put a load of system files on my external hard drive, I dont have a persistent volume setup. I cannot see a single exe file that will start the installation??? Is there another way of setting up a PGP key without the GnuPG tool Any help gratefully recieved, Thanks

P.S - I'm so close to it now, been trying for almost a bloody week!

P.P.S - I think I've done it now, somehow. Orders are placed. I guess they will be cancelled if the PGP hasnt worked. God only knows if this has worked. Thank you all for your assistance.

I like PGP4USB. Pretty simple, if you need help with pgp i can walk you through it.

Also I use the GPA - The Gnu Privacy Assistant. it works amazing and should be straight forward. and like the person below said if your on tails (sounds like your not) you easily use the built in one it takes no effort

Yes, that is where you need to use PGP. GnuPG is for Windows, it sounds like you are using Tails which is Linux based.

Tails PGP can be accessed by clicking the clipboard at the top right. Manage keys to create your own and add your vendor's public key to save it.

Click on the clipboard again and click open text editor. Write your info there and copy it. Then click on the clipboard and select "Sign/Encrypt clipboard with Public Keys". Check off your vendor's public key and click OK. Paste it into Nucleus and it will say something like "--Begin PGP Message--" with a bunch of random letters and numbers ending with "--End PGP Message--". This means your message is encrypted and only the vendor can read it with their key.

That's it. If you want the vendor to send you a PGP encrypted message, you need to provide your public key. Click on the clipboard and select manage keys, then look for your key in the list then copy and paste it.

If you are using Tails, it has its own builtin PGP application:

For encrypting your address to the vendor, you do not need to generate or save your own key. You can just import the vendors public key, select them as the recipient and the message will be encrypted with their key.
