How to create and use a PGP Public Key with GPG4win

Create your own public key, import others and use them to send encrypted emails.

I made this video in a hurry. After watching a few videos, I couldn't fully understand how this works. When I finally discovered it, I decided to make a video that is going to be extremely simple, so that people know what to do. Self-understood things are not at all self-understood if you have never used pgp before....

Do watch other videos to learn what asymmetric encryption is, so that you understand the theory behind it.

This video was originally uploaded to my second channel (where it had over 14.000 views), but due to the recent change in Youtube Creators terms of service, I moved it to my first channel.

I initially had my pgp public key here available so that people could test this procedure. Since then, I changed email address and I wasn't able to view or reply to these emails in time. I apologize for that. I have also kinda lost my private key somewhere *facepalm*. The truth is nobody from my friends uses this and I let this get lost into oblivion. If I ever become a reporter or something... I will get back to this. Until then, please don't send me anymore encrypted emails, because I am not able to reply. :D

The feedback on the ASMR-style content is genuinely amusing when you pause to consider the context. Picture this: you're deeply engrossed in problem-solving on your computer, surrounded by silence for prolonged hours, maintaining a serene and focused demeanor. Suddenly, it dawns on you that there isn't a single brief tutorial online addressing the solution you've just unraveled. Motivated by a desire to assist others, you don your headset and begin to record. Unlike many YouTubers who amplify their presence through exaggerated actions or loud commentary to capture audience interest, you opt for authenticity. You speak in your natural tone, which is notably softer, a reflection of the quietude you've been immersed in. While the end result might resemble ASMR, that was not the intention. Nonetheless, I'm grateful for the positive remarks.

    I get an error when trying to generate a new public key in GPA. I don't get that error when I try to create one in Kleopatra, so unsure what's going on. I guess this tutorial won't work for me.
