now that i’m back on ubuntu as my primary desktop, it’s about time i re-gen a pgp/gpg key and start using it in emails. i already do 90% of my point 2 point connections encrypted ( gotta love ssh and ssl ) it’s about time i give myself the opportunity to digitally sign things or encrypt my email. not cause i have something to hide, but because it’s fun playing with cryptography!
i setup my gpg keys on the command line, but seahorse looks like a good gui passwords and encryption keys manager. (that’s seahorses’s ubuntu applications menu name btw) i even published my public key on the mit gpg public keyserver. now to find someone to email. heh.
