Title: Help a noob out!
Post by: nooboon on March 16, 2012, 02:57 pm
I think I ordered correctly, but please tell me if I'm wrong. After adding a product to my cart, I encrypted my shipping address with the seller's public key and put the encrypted message in the shipping section. Is this correct?

Thanks!

Actually, I just read the thread submitted earlier about this... I think I did it correctly.

Great noobs think alike

Sounds to me like you did it the right way.

Sounds about right but did you also send your public PGP key to the shipper so they could decrypt your message?

What? The vendor would only need your PGP key if he/she were to send you information encrypted.

Oh, ok, I get it. I assumed that the vendor would need the buyers key in order to decrypt his message. I guess I was wrong.
