Using PGPNotes for encryption is quite simple.
|
Create a new memo using the New Memo. If you are doing this for the first
time, you will be brought to the new memo screen with an extra action button
called PGP Encrypt/Send on the right of the button bar.
|
|
|
Now, type in the recipients, subject, message text etc. as you normally would.
|
|
Click on the PGP Encrypt/Send button. You will be prompted with this
options box.
You can attach your own public key as part of the message.
You can choose to encrypt your message, or simply clearsign it.
You can also choose to encrypt the file attachments or leave them
unencrypted.
Note: The options you selected will be saved as the default
settings for the next encryption.
|
|
|
After this, you will be asked for the passphrase for your private key. This
is required because all outgoing messages encrypted by PGPNotes are signed
as well as encrypted.
|
|
If all goes well, the message will be encrypted, signed and sent on its way
to its recipients after a short pause with the full comfort of security.
