Title: Do you need to give your Public Key as well when sending your mail address?
Post by: amazing777 on August 12, 2012, 04:44 pm
I thought you just had to Encrypt your mailing adress with the vendors public key, and then they could read it

But do you have to give your Public Key as well?

The last successful order i made i just encrypted my address with GPA and the Vendors Public key and it worked.

But just made a order of someone else and they asked for my public key too..

Please  help?

If u would like the vendor to reply with encrypted messages that only you can read, yes.

No they don't need your public key just to read your message.
