Your Encryption Key

{# BRE: The options and dialog below are questions we may not want to ask, if they're complicating things too much. It's a lot of text. But I'm asking them here anyway, as a straw man for us to discuss futher. Maybe they belong elsewhere in the flow? Or we just don't make them configurable at all? I err towards asking, as this relates to privacy, but... #} {% if error %}

Configure key

We are about to create your PGP key. How exciting!

The public portion of the key gets shared with other people, like a digital business card. Note that without a copy of your public key, people cannot send you encrypted e-mail or verify your digital signatures. So the public part has to be shared, but it is up to you how widely you share it and what information it contains.


Much like a business card, you can list a variety of contact information on the key, and this helps people figure out who the key belongs to and how to get in touch.

Which of the following addresses would you like listed on your public key?

Publishing your key

PGP keys can be published to open key directories, making it easier for people to find your key and send you secure mail. Just like the phone book, this is a public resource which anyone can access. Would you like to publish your key details, once it has been created?


Sharing your key

In order to help others communicate with you securely, Mailpile can attach your key to outgoing e-mail. This will allow the recipients to send encrypted replies or verify your digital signatures.
