From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hi,

I would like to use Gnupg to encrypt, sign... documents.

I've downloaded the Manual, it's quite extensive. So the learning curve is proportional :)

I've tried the GPA GUI, but with it, it seem impossible to generate an ECC key..

So what would be your recommendation to be able to generate ECC keys, be able to encrypt, sign etc.. with or without GUI.

Thanks.

It's been a hot minute since I've done anything with GnuPG, but I still have the presentation I did some years back on my website. It might help.
