Title: Question about obtaining and giving people your public key?
Post by: pongeddie on August 30, 2013, 09:02 pm
I'm talking PGP or GPG. You know, email encryption. I've done it once, as far as communicating with someone using encrypted email. But I was drunk when I did it and now I forget. So what is the best way to give someone your public key and what is the best way to get someone's public key. Do you have send it/receive it as a certain file type?

You can exchange it by using a symmetric-key-algorithm. Should be possible to encrypt it via 7zip and send it out to each other. You both have to know the symmetric-key to decrypt it again.
