Description

We should have a section or entire page on setting up PGP, using it with different clients, and maybe even setup with hardware keys to tie in to #1713. Especially with info regarding modern defaults (using Curve25519 over RSA etc).

I don't know if it makes sense on the email page alongside #1672 or independently (or as a wiki article on PGP? thoughts?)

This would be really helpful, since I was even asking about it recently on the forum.

I think creating a wiki article and linking it to every page that relates to it on the main web site.

I am interested in contributing if @dngray will have me somehow do it realtime. It's also on my todo list to write something like this in Finnish for @Piraattinuoret (my messy notes so far at https://github.com/Mikaela/mikaela.github.io/issues/196 (in Finnish)).

https://mikaela.info/r/gpg has some weird notes in English that I wrote down from dngray's talks.

Would this make a better blog post, rather than a section of the site?

I don't know, maybe. I think creating a wiki article on PGP with the details is probably the way to go now that I'm considering it. And then from there we could do a walkthrough on the blog.

I'm getting all my new security keys tomorrow (in theory 🤞) so I might also contribute if @dngray does not have time to work on this. I'll probably have to redo all my keys anyways (yay).

I think a wiki article could be more structured than a blog post.

I'm writing a new handbook for GnuPG with support from the GPG developers directly although at this moment I do so in my spare time and have been stretched very thin.

@JonahAragon I'll contact you.

I think this is the way to go.

Nice. I think this would be a useful thing to link from the email-providers page. I plan on re-doing the email clients page too. Thunderbird 78 will be exciting.

@Peter-Easton have you made any progress with this? I'd love for a PR on this.

Myself I've had extensive experience with gpg on the command line however, I do believe for our audience we should look into graphical solutions for the major platforms, Windows, MacOS etc. A pure command-line example might be the third option.

gpg4win, MacGPG2 etc.
