Topic: Encrypt and Decrypt a message using PGP keys - page 2. (Read 505 times)
I got confused a bit on what's this encrypt and decrypt thing but it is just signing a message? I understand that this post was meant to be educational but it could've been more on point to make it more simpler so that it can be easily understood by someone like me who doesn't have any technical knowledge. By the way, some of the images you uploaded is not showing properly.
Let's talk about how to Encrypt and Decrypt a message using PGP key.
In This case I'll use a plain text or message to be Encrypted with asymmetric types of Encryption
I'll make this Thread in order to help everybody in the forum to know how to Encrypt and Decrypt a message or text using their Android Phones
What is Encryption
Email encryption involves encrypting, or disguising, the content of email messages in order to protect potentially sensitive information from being read by anyone other than intended recipients. Email encryption often includes authentication
Before we Encrypt a message we must create a PGP key
Using iGolder: https://www.igolder.com/pgp/generate-key/

Now we will Decrypt our Encrypted message
What is Decryption
The conversion of encrypted data into its original form is called Decryption. It is generally a reverse process of encryption. It decodes the encrypted information so that an authorized user can only decrypt the data because decryption requires a secret key or password.
Step 2: Click the generate PGP keys
