Title: Quick Q: Encrypt own public key with message or put seperately?
Post by: rizorlan on September 19, 2012, 08:46 pm
Sorry, so many topics on GPG all ready but I can't seem to find an answer with search.
I want to send a message a vendor and get an encrypted response.

Do I encrypt the message and then put my key below it, or do I put my key in the message and include the whole thing?

Thank you

Definitely a matter of personal taste and possibly of anonymity.

For instance you have a one time Anon/Private GPG key that is not public and not posted on SR etc., you in order to keep things in house you would not publish your key anywhere or send it outside of an encrypted message.
