| summary | A Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) system uses digital keys for secure communication. One type of key is the PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) key, which is a cryptographic protocol used for securing data transmission and digital signatures.
PGP keys consist of two parts: a public key and a private key. The public key is freely distributed, while the private key is kept secret by the key's owner. Data encrypted with a public key can only be decrypted with the corresponding private key, ensuring secure communication. Conversely, data signed with a private key can be verified using the corresponding public key, confirming the sender's identity and message integrity.
PGP keys are essential for secure email communication, file transfer, and digital signatures. Users can import or export their PGP keys to share encrypted communications with others. It is crucial to verify the authenticity of a PGP key before using it for encryption or decryption to maintain data security. |
