If you want to decrypt a text file, simply drag and drop it into the editor window. KGpg will do the rest. Even remote files can be dropped.
Drag a public key into the editor window and kgpg will automatically import it if you want.
The easiest way to encrypt a file: simply right click on the file, and you have an encrypt option in the contextual menu. This works in konqueror or on your Desktop!
If you want to encrypt a message for several persons, just select several encryption keys by pressing the "Ctrl" key.
You do not have to be an expert in encryption to use this tool?
Simply create yourself a key pair in the key management window. Then, export your public key and mail it to your friends.
Ask them to do the same and import their public keys. Finally, to send an encrypted message, type it in the KGpg editor, then click "encrypt". Choose
your friend's key and click "encrypt" again. The message will be encrypted, ready to be sent by email.
To perform an operation on a key, open the key management window and right click on the key. A popup menu with all available options will appear.
Decrypt a file with a single mouse click on it. You will then be prompted for password, and then that is it!
If you only want to open the key manager, type this in the command line prompt:
kgpg -kThe editor can be reached by:
kgpg -d
To open a file in the KGpg's editor and immediately decrypt it type:
kgpg -s filename
If you want to change the password or expiration of a secret key simply double click on it to get the key properties dialog.
You can reach your default key by pressing "Ctrl+Home" in the key manager.
The number of signatures is shown as a tooltip if you hover the mouse on the size column in key manager. A key has to be expanded once for this to work.
