4. GNU Privacy Guard

The GNU Privacy Guard is for de- and encrypting emails and data as well as to create und check electronic signatures. If available, you can generate keys on your own.

The Public Key is public, which means, that others, with whom you communicate, need the key to decrypt your encryptions.
The Private Key is private, which means, that only you have it to decrypt your emails.
Here you find further information about the GNU Privacy Guard.

To get to the GNU Privacy Guard, please do the following:

1. Click the button Portal Manager to get to the administrative area.
2. Then click Intranet & Backoffice > Webmail.
3. Click the blue Actions button and select Webmail Settings.
4. Click on the Encryption tab.

The concept of the GNU Privacy Guard works as follows:

1. User A generates a Private Key and a Public Key via Encryption > +Key. With the Private Key user A decrypts encrypted emails, which he received and he provides the Public Key to all people who want to send him an encrypted email. The Public Key is public, similar to a phone number. The Public Key can be posted on a website or in an email.
2. Now user B wants to send an encrypted email to user A. Therefore user B needs the Public Key from user A. User A exports his Public Key via Encryption > selecting the Key > copying and forwards it somehow to user B, e.g. in an email.
3. User B imports the Public Key from user A via Encryption > +Import.
4. User B composes now the email for user A, which he wants to encrypt. To encrypt the email he clicks in the area Subject & Content below the content of the email the button GNU Privacy Guard and activates the checkbox. When the email is composed user B sends it out as usual.
5. User A receives the email with the encrypted content. To read the content he clicks the locker icon above the encrypted text.
6. User A has now to enter his password, which he used when generating a key pair. After the correct entry of the password the content gets decrypted and the email can be read.
7. If user A also wants to send an encrypted mail to user B, then user A needs the Public Key from user B and he needs to import it.
