Key management could be a nightmare across multiple devices.
Key management could be a nightmare across multiple devices.
I export my secret keys to a "home" directory in my LAN, and
then I can import them to any workstation.
Enigmail is a nice tool, as well as kleopatra of gpg4win
package.
Apparently, I haven't fully explored its full configuration options.
There are so many. I saw a setting on my other pc where I could
"assign" other identities to the existing ones. Maybe that is the
answer.
Next to being able to sign messages in echomail/newsgroups, fully encrypted messages only make sense in email - direct to a specific individual.
But are those older keys still usable? I have two keys from
1993, I no longer remember the passwords for. :-( But they
aren't on the keyservers afaik, so nobody will be tempted
to use them. ;)
That's the beauty of pulling down the keys and checking their
properties. The properties will reveal creation dates, expiry dates, revocations,etc. It would be relatively easy to just pick the most
recent date, and send a brief hello message with a CC: and see which
ones reach their target.
If you used decent passwords for the secret keys, it
doesn't matter if the files fall in the wrong hands...
I could email the secret keys between my devices, but I don't like the idea that email in general is in the clear and the isp/systems enroute
can cache and record anything.
The passphrase is fairly decent. I am confident that no one would be
able to guess it.

use pgp/gpg to encrypt it, then email it, and decrypt it on the other
end...

You can use a common storage place, either on your own
network or external lile dropbox. If that's an encrypted
place (I don't know if dropbox is by default?) that would
be even better.

Than it doesn't matter too much what you use to exchange
the secret key files.

Still working through the morning coffee? <BWG>
I need that key on the other end *before* I can decrypt anything.

nope, not when i wrote that...

anything.
are you saying that you cannot simply encrypt some text and
decrypt it? i don't mean to encrypt it to a specific
individual... just general encryption with a phrase... pgp used
to do that and i used it numerous times to send stuff to others
with no keys involved...
