PGP Private Key
Description
General
- Documentation:
- Summary: Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) provides cryptographic privacy and authentication for data communication. To provide this it uses a private and public key set. The public key is used to encrypt documents or verify a signature. The private key is used to decrypt and sign a document. The public key can be distributed freely whereas the private key must remain private. More details about cryptographic keys can be found in this FAQ.
Revoke the secret
To revoke the secret, a new key set needs to be generated and the new public key needs to be distributed. Note however that everything that was encrypted with the previous public key will still be readable by someone that has the previous private key.
