Thanks for the tutorial of GPG. By far it’s the best I have been able to find on the internet.

I work with Encryption Appliance solutions but never had the need to understand Exporting/Importing keys (due to separation of duties these days) and it really just helped me understand another important component where you can separate out the Private and Public keys and Encrypt files at another source. Excellent video Melvin and great job explaining it.

Great video! It goes straight to my library. I will share the link if someone asks me about the subject.

Thank you from 1.5 years later! Exactly what I needed. Clear, concise & to the point. Thank you also for having your commands pre-typed; that saves time & we can pause as necessary.

Ubuntu is a Debian based OS, Debian is a kernel, Ubuntu is not a kernel… just thought I’d correct your remark at 1:40
Other than that, very informative! I’ve been following the Man page of gpg… but I keep running into issues with card keys and a couple other options lol so I gave your bid a try, to get a better scope of things.

Thanks!
