“Introduction to Cryptography and PGP” Workshop

By Mir Saman October 13, 2017

I have a workshop titled “Introduction to Cryptography and PGP” at Urmia University of Technology. I talked about basic concepts of signature and encryption using asymmetric cryptography. Then I talked about PGP which is one of the main usages of this system. I followed the workshop with configuring Thunderbird and GPG4win for applying PGP in Email system. You may find the contents in my previous post about GPG in Thunderbird and the way PGP works.

In “Encrypting Emails using PGP/GPG”, I have described how to configure GPG (PGP) + Enigmail + Thunderbird for sending signed and encrypted emails. But the inner process of PGP is not described. In this post, I will describe how PGP works and the emulation process of PGP will be covered by the nice cryptography tool named cryptoolv2.

Encrypting Emails using PGP/GPG

By Mir Saman February 20, 2017

PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is a protocol for encryption and authentication of files and emails. In this tutorial I want to show how to create encrypted and signed emails using GPG (GnuPG), Thunderbird (Email Client), and Enigmail (Connector). I used windows as test case which the steps are same for *nix systems.
