Basic File Encryption with GPG key pairs!

[zakrent]

If you want to encrypt text when editing it in vim (usefull for email encryption): %! gpg -er <recipient> --armour

Thank you! This is perfect. I'm writing a script to backup a configuration file over the network but the config file has other secrets stored in plain text. Now I can write a stable script to store the backups securely in a legit way. Thanks for explaining!

If I may suggest, I think you should follow up this video with a video about pass, the "Standard UNIX password manager", since it uses gpg for the encryption of the password and it can be used by many programs. For example, I have my email password stored in pass, and whenever offlineimap needs to access it to update my emails it uses a pass command (`pass show Path/To/Password`) so I don't need to store it in plain text and I also don't need to type it everytime I update my emails.

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for keeping it simple and to the point without a lot of "or you could do this" "or you could do that".

Thank you very much man, this helped me a lot. Very clear video, lovely (non hindi) english, everything's super cool. Thanks again

Can you make another video for things below >
1. how to back up those key.
2. how another person import your public key before encrypting

[IamBrianDickson]

Good intro for me. Now I need to go learn more, and what the fluff you where typing in the terminal half the time :)

Great video Luke, and great content in general. Glad I stumbled across this tonight. Hopefully will remember to follow you wherever on the other content sites you inhabit.

8:19 don't tell me what to do
anyway awesome video ! i had to deal with gpg keys when i was using arch but i never took the time to learn more than that they deal with security and now i know
thanks

Use gpg --full-generate-key --expert, Luke!

You're great at explaining this, but I always feel like I'm watching that "How English sounds to non-English
speakers" video. Like my brain is saying "you know this language but he's saying fake words!"

[thesuperiorman]

You explain really good. You're gifted

[Simon-xitb]

Wow, didn't know about shred -u. Tnx :D About keys expiring, so I assume if private key expires, you can no longer decrypt files that were encrypted with that private key ?

[cmetr]

I'm really new at this and your video helped me a lot, thank you. But, how do you put your signature on the encrypted file, and how does the recipient open it? You give him the password by phone?

[imveryhungry]

Thank you for this valuable information.

[mpk]

How do you get that view in a terminal?

[IljasMS]

Hey Luke, nice and useful video as always. What was that task managing program on the right at the beginning?

[HelloWorld-tntl]

Can you share your vim multi-scree setting, thank u .

[rita_calamity]

What distro are you using? It looks cool

This is fantastic! I need to ask: can I decrypt my encrypted file from a Windows pc? And what if my linux laptop (which I used to encrypt my file) doesn't work? Will I still be able to decrypt my file? Thank you
