Import an OpenPGP Key

You will need your trading partner’s public key for either of the following conditions:

If you need to send encrypted files to the trading partner.

If you need to verify the trading partner’s digital signature on files which they send you.

The trading partner will send you their public key as a small binary file. The public key will need to be imported from this file into your public Key Ring.

After you receive the public key and save it to the hard disk, then follow the steps below to import the public key into your Key Ring:

Key Manager

role.

From the main menu, select

Encryption

, and then click the OpenPGP Key Manager link.

Click the

Import Key(s)

menu option in the tool bar.

Browse for the trading partner’s public key on your hard disk and select it.

Click the

Import

button to import the public key from the specified file.

If the import is successful, the trading partner’s public key will be loaded into your public key ring and will be listed on the page.

If you (or the trading partner) wants to verify the fingerprint of the key you imported, then click the

icon next to the key. The fingerprint will be shown on the page, which you can read off to the trading partner (which is normally done over the phone).
