The FHG's GPG Public key

What's a GPG Public key?   GPG (GNU Privacy Guard) allows one to send e-mail to someone securely.  A GPG key comes in two parts.  One is the secret key, that is VERY secret.  You keep that part to yourself.

The other part is the public key, or pubkey.  You can just publish that one to the internet, export it to the keyservers, give it out to whomever. You actually want as many people as possible to have your pubkey.

Say for example, you wanted to discuss privately about your health with a relative, or a doctor via e-mail.   Using GPG you could encrypt your message to the recipient using the recipients public key, so that only the recipient could read it with their secret key.

You can also use GPG to sign messages with your secret key that others can verify with your public key to know that it was really you who sent them.

GPG is just one implementation of the OpenPGP standard.  If you've heard of PGP (Pretty Good Privacy, now owned by Symantec), it's the same thing. You can learn more about GPG (Windows version) here:

GPGTools is GPG for OSX:

There's another type of e-mail security called S/MIME, it works similarly, but usually requires a "certificate" from a third party like the Comodo Free Certificates.  Once you get your certificate, you share your public key by sending a S/MIME signed mail to whomever you want. Good e-mail clients support both GPG and S/MIME
