Hi All,

It was my birthday anyhow:

So the question is "I've got someone's key I've signed it - so how do I get it back to them?"

The answer is - export to a file - which saves the public key you have signed to a file on
your hard disk - if like me you have a lot of keys to sign and save you can save as Martin
TJ Jason.

Then you start your mail app and then you write an email to each recipient adding an
attachment their key. Then you can digitally sign and encrypt to that recipients public key.

You can do the same thing with your public key if users are not able to find it on a key
server - you export to file then start an email add an attachment (your public key) and sign
and send.

With openpgp - it has a function to import keys from a file attachment - or you can use a
programme like KGPG GPA Kleopatra - you open the file with a common editor select all the
txt and copy - then open the respective programme and open its editor and then paste and
then import - this will update your public key.

Once you have done this a few times (how ever many signed your key) you can  upload it to a
public key server - all the above programmes will upload a highlighted public key to a key
server as long as you have internet access :)

A little tip - if you have installed Linux for the first time then you will want to run this
command in a terminal gpg2 -k this will create the hidden folder .gnupg and will create 3
txt files as defaults.

We ought to bring a Linux laptop so people can have a go at doing all this stuff.

David
