PGP - Pretty Good Privacy

For this lab, please use the pgp version installed in the directory

    /opt/local/bin

To check which pgp version is the default one on your computer, try

   which pgp

at the shell prompt. If it is different from the one above, please modify your ./profile to match the version from directory /opt/local/bin.

Using the pgp version mentioned above, I have created a pair of PGP keys (one public and one private) on tanner. The instructions for this lab have been encrypted using my public key. To decrypt the lab instructions, follow the steps below. For reference, please use this fast help or this more detailed tutorial.

On tanner, in your home directory, create another directory called .pgp.
Generate your own pair of PGP keys using
```
    pgp -kg
```
Two rings, one public (pubring.pgp) and one secret (secring.pgp) will be created in your .pgp directory. To view the contents of a ring - pubring.pgp, for instance - type in
```
    pgp -kv yourid 
```
Here yourid is the user identifier (or part of the user identifier) you used when creating your keys. Make sure you remember both this identifier and the pass phrase associated with your keys. Alternately, you could simply try
```
    pgp -kv
```
This command displays all public keys available to you.
Download my PGP public key in your current working directory and add it to your public key ring:
```
    pgp -ka damian.asc
```
Download and decrypt further lab instructions using my private key. Follow these instructions to complete the lab.
