- - - What is Encryption? - - Encryption is an ancient method of changing readable text to unreadable - text that dates back to Egyptian times. Encryption takes the statement - "Evolution" and turns it into something which cannot be read without help - through decryption. - - Encryption Example - - Kevin orders an Evolution t-shirt from - Ximian, Inc. over the internet. He puts in his credit card number - which is 1234-567-8901. For security, his computer encrypts the - credit card number so it can be safely transmitted over the internet. - The number now is @#$23ui7yr87#@!48970fsd, which holds no intentional - resemblance to the inital number. When the information gets to - Ximian, Inc. it'll be decrypted into the inital number. - - - Encryption can be used in email in two ways: to verify that the sender is - the real sender, and to hide the message while in transmission. - Evolution has the capability to do both. - - - - Generating your PGP key - - First, you need to create a PGP key. To do this, you'll need GPG - installed. - - - GPG Versions - - This manual covers version 1.0.6 of GPG. If your version is different, - this may not be entirely accurate. You may find out your version number - by typing in: gpg --version. - - - - You can start by typing in: gpg --gen-key. At the - first question, select 1. The next question asks you about key length. - The longer the key, more stronger it is. However, the longer the key, the - longer it takes to generate. This is your choice. However, 1024 bits - (default) should be adequate. The next question asks you if you want your - key to expire. Expiring keys make your key invalid after a certain amount - of time, so old keys don't float around active. This is the same concept - as a coupon at a supermarket. Next, you'll type in your Real name, your - email address, and a comment. You should not forge this information, as - it is used later to verify who you are. Assuming that all your - information is correct, press "O" to continue. GPG now asks you for a - passphrase. This is a password which you will need to decrypt and encrypt - messages. This can be any length, with any characters in it. It is case - sensitive, which means that it does know the difference between capital - letters and lower-case. Now your key is generated. It is recommend you - surf the internet, read your email, or write a letter in a word - processor. This help creates randomness in the key. - - - Once this is completed, you'll be dropped back to the command line. - Now you can view your key information by typing gpg - --list-keys. You should see something similar to this: - - GPG Listing Keys - - /home/bob/.gnupg/pubring.gpg - ---------------------------- - pub 1024D/32j38dk2 2001-06-20 bob <bob@bob.com> - sub 1024g/289sklj3 2001-06-20 [expires: 2002-11-14] - - - You'll now need to upload your public key to a keyserver, so that your - friends can use your key. You'll need to know the ID of your key, which - is after the 1024D on the line beginning with pub. For this example, it - is 32j38dk2. You now type in gpg --send-keys --keyserver - wwwkeys.pgp.net 32j38dk2. Substitute your key ID for 32j38dk2. - You will be prompted to type in your password and your key will be uploaded for your - friends to download. - - - - Setting up Evolution's Encryption - - You'll need to open - - Tools - Mail Settings - - Once there, select the account you'd like to associate the key to and click - the Edit button. In the - Security tab is a section labeled Pretty - Goog Privacy. Enter your key ID and click - OK. Your key is now integrated into your identity - in Evolution. - - - - Sending Encrypted Messages - - You can either sign or encrypt a message. When you sign a message, verify - that you were the one who sent it, and that no one is forging your - identity. Encrypting a message makes it impossible for someone with - prying eyes to view it while it's in tranmission. - - - - Signing a Message - - To sign a message, you simply click - - Security - PGP Sign - - . You will be prompted for your PGP password. Once you enter it, - click OK and your message will be signed. - - - - Encrypting a Message - - Encrypting a message is very similar to signing a message. You simply - click the menu item - - Security - PGP Encrypt - - - - - - - Unencrypting a Recieved Message - - Sometimes, a friend will send you a message which is encrypted. In order - for you to read it, you need to unencrypt it. - - - When you view the encrypted message, Evolution - will prompt you for your PGP password. You type in your PGP password and - the message is then decrypted. - - -
