PGP Key Store

PGP key pair generation is needed when you want to manage end-to-end PGP envelopes. Depending on the target operation to be performed (digital signature, encryption), you must select the appropriate key type.

To generate a new public or private key pair, follow these steps:

  1. Click on Settings → Security → PGP Key Stores.

  2. Click the NEW button and proceed as follows:

    1. Click the UPLOAD button to load the key, then enter the password and click the Upload button.

    2. Or create a new key filling in these fields:

      • Users: enter the user id.

      • Algorithm: select the algorithm among:

        • DSA

        • RSA_GENERAL

        • RSA_SIGN

      • Size: Usually, 2048 is the recommended value for each asymmetrical algorithm in the list. Possible values: 1024, 2048 (default), 3072, 4096.

      • Validity: number of days the key must be available.

You can import an existing private keyring by clicking the UPLOAD button. You just need to select the file and enter the password.
