GNU gpg is encryption and signing tool. Openssl generate self signed certificate with private key.

The GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG or GPG) is a free software replacement for the PGP suite of cryptographic software.

GnuPG encrypts messages using asymmetric keypairs individually generated by GnuPG users. The resulting public keys can be exchanged with other users in a variety of ways, such as Internet key servers. They must always be exchanged carefully to prevent identity spoofing by corrupting public key ↔ ‘owner’ identity correspondences. It is also possible to add a cryptographic digital signature to a message, so the message integrity and sender can be verified, if a particular correspondence relied upon has not been corrupted.

How do I create my own GnuPG private and public key

1) Login to your shell account

The official documentation states that it’s required, and it certainly is on Mac OS, but it looks like something in my desktop environment was still starting gpg-agent automatically, and it couldn’t handle having it called a second time. (To determine whether gpg-agent is running, simply run the gpg-agent command without any arguments.) ↩. Dec 27, 2014 I successfully imported my X.509 certificate and my PGP keys. I'm encountering a problem when I receive PGP-signed email from others. As expected, KMail indicates that it has no public key to verify a signature: When I click the key number in the yellow header, Kleopatra successfully finds the related in the PGP key server (default keys.gnupg.net).

2) Use gpg command to create the keys
$ gpg --gen-key
Output:

3) Now keys generated, you can list your own key using:
$ gpg -K
OR
$ gpg --list-keys
Output:

Let us try to understand the line pub 1024D/CA7A8402 2007-02-10:

  • pub : Public key
  • 1024D : The number of bits in the key
  • CA7A8402 : The key ID
  • 2007-02-10 : The date of key creation
  • Vivek Gite : The user real name
  • <vivek@nixcraftcorp.com> : The email id

Most important is the key ID i.e. CA7A8402. Make sure you use powerful passphrase to protect keys and not the easy one.

4) To list secret key, type the command:
$ gpg --list-secret-keys
Output:
