GnuPG如何安全地分发私钥（1）GnuPG的用法

本文只是对GnuPG最基本最简单最初级的介绍。

这篇文章从（做者本身瞎折腾的）问题 ------ 如何安全地分发私钥入手，简单全面地介绍了GnuPG的常规操做。

GnuPG还有不少其余功能，做者并无所有掌握，好比证书、密钥的撤销、管理等。

 

还有一个很重要的问题，pub与sub和sec与ssb的关系，待做者搞清楚后，再写文介绍吧。

 

1 k与K

能够参考man gpg里的说明:

-k

--list-public-keys

List all keys from the public keyrings, or just the keys given

on the command line.

Avoid using the output of this command in scripts or other pro-

grams as it is likely to change as GnuPG changes. See --with-

colons for a machine-parseable key listing command that is

appropriate for use in scripts and other programs.

--list-secret-keys

-K List all keys from the secret keyrings, or just the ones given

on the command line. A # after the letters sec means that the

secret key is not usable (for example, if it was created via

--export-secret-subkeys).

2 生成密钥

opensuse13:~ #

opensuse13:~ # gpg -K

opensuse13:~ # gpg -k

opensuse13:~ # gpg --gen-key

This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it.

There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law.

Please select what kind of key you want:

(1) RSA and RSA (default)

(2) DSA and Elgamal

(3) DSA (sign only)

(4) RSA (sign only)

Your selection?

RSA keys may be between 1024 and 4096 bits long.

What keysize do you want? (2048) 4096

Requested keysize is 4096 bits

Please specify how long the key should be valid.

0 = key does not expire

<n> = key expires in n days

<n>w = key expires in n weeks

<n>m = key expires in n months

<n>y = key expires in n years

Key is valid for? (0) 5m

Key expires at Mon Apr 24 21:17:17 2017 CST

Is this correct? (y/N) y

GnuPG needs to construct a user ID to identify your key.

Real name: FranklinYang

Email address: andypeker@163.com

Comment: Encrypt RSA 4096

You selected this USER-ID:

"FranklinYang (Encrypt RSA 4096) <andypeker@163.com>"

Change (N)ame, (C)omment, (E)mail or (O)kay/(Q)uit? O

You need a Passphrase to protect your secret key.

We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform

some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the

disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number

generator a better chance to gain enough entropy.

3 公钥和私钥的区别

注意下面这个几个key：

pub sub sec ssb

各有用途！

好比下面：

opensuse13b:~ # gpg -K

/root/.gnupg/secring.gpg
