Adding GnuPG keys

 

Overview

GnuPG is a publicly available encryption scheme that uses the "public key" approach. With GnuPG, messages are encrypted using a "public key" however, they can only be decrypted by a "private key", which is retained by the intended recipient of the message.

 

Your "public key" is the key that a message is encrypted with. A matching "private key" is used to decode the message.

 

Steps

1 To access the Manage OpenPGP Keys Menu, click on the    icon above the words Manage OpenPGP Keys on the main screen of your cPanel interface.

2 To add a new key, click on Add Key.

3 Complete the form that appears. (Selecting a larger key size will make the key more secure)

4 Click on Generate Key to generate the new public key.
