>		To prove success, please send me an encrypted message. You can find my key on the keyservers, id 0x3E908FC3, or at https://moglen.law.columbia.edu/moglen.key, and you can verify its fingerprint. I can then retrieve your key from the keyservers, send you a reply encrypted to that public key, and thus we can confirm that your encryption kit works.

<		This is perhaps a daft question: do I need to upload my key to a key server? I am on macOS, thus using GPGTools. This software does not allow me to delete my key after I have uploaded it to the key server; I can only revoke it. I am not sure if I feel comfortable with that.

Hi Professor - where can we find your public key in order to send you an encrypted email? Thanks.

Tech project 2: Create a GPG key and upload it to the keyservers

Linux instructions

There are a number of tools available to Linux users including many different plugins for popular email clients. I recommend using the enigmail plugin for the Thunderbird mail client as a place to start. Install both tools as you would any other software and then take a look at this guide from Security In-A-Box: Sending and receiving encrypted messages.

OSX Instructions

The GPGTools project maintains an easy installer for GPG and instructional materials for generating a key and uploading it to the keyservers. Take a look at their homepage for the software and a video explanation, then refer to their Where do I start? guide for more detailed instructions.

Windows instructions

The GPG4win project maintains an easy installer for GPG and instructional materials for generating a key and uploading it to the keyservers. Take a look at their homepage for the software, then refer to their Gpg4win Compendium guide for more detailed instructions.
