1、生成密钥对：gpg --gen-key
为用户生成新密钥对。需提供：密钥类型（默认为RSA/RSA）；密钥长度（以位为单位，越长越强）；过期时间（以防密钥损坏）；（通常我都是一路回车过去）接下来的还是要填一填的：名称、电子邮箱、标识密钥所有者的注释；密码短语（必须提供，如果私钥被盗，将无法使用）。
2、列出公钥：gpg --list-keys
列出所拥有的公钥：他们自己的公钥以及从与之通信的其他人那里导入的任何公钥。
3、导出公钥：gpg --export --armor key-id -o file.key
将公钥导出至文件，以便于其他人使用。--armor选项以文本形式显示输出，而非二进制格式。key-id是电子邮箱地址或在--list-keys的pub行中列出的八位十六进制数。
4、导入公钥：gpg --import file.key
从发送给您的密钥文件中导入其他人的公钥
5、加密文件：gpg --encrypt --armor -r key-id file
用key-id的公钥加密消息。如果未提供-r key-id，命令将提示收件人输入。默认输出文件为file.asc.
6、解密文件：gpg --decrypt file
用您的私钥之一解密用公钥加密的消息。
示例:
创建属于您自己的公钥/ 私钥对。

RSA keys may be between 1024 and 4096 bits long.
What keysize do you want? (2048) Enter
Requested keysize is 2048 bits
Please specify how long the key should be valid.
0 = key does not expire

<n>m = key expires in n months
<n>y = key expires in n years
Key is valid for? (0) Enter
Key does not expire at all
Is this correct? (y/N) y
GnuPG needs to construct a user ID to identify your 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.

若要导出密钥,请在上面的输出中查找密钥ID 。可以在上面的pub 2048R/ 输出的后面找到。在给示例中
密钥ID 是CA83F5AF 。以下示例将显示使用该密钥ID 的命令。
●导出您的公钥,与合作伙伴共享。
[linuxidc@server1 ~]$ gpg -a -o ~/pub.key --export CA83F5AF
●将导出的公钥复制到合作伙伴的server2 上。
[linuxidc@server1 ~]$ scp pub.key server2.example.com:~
●导入合作伙伴的公钥。
[linuxidc@server2 ~]$ gpg --import pub.key

●创建一个文本文件,内含供合作伙伴阅读的消息。
[linuxidc@server2 ~]$ echo "xi'an university of posts and telecommunications" > encrypt.txt
●用合作伙伴的公钥加密文件。
[linuxidc@server2 ~]$ gpg --encrypt --armor -r CA83F5AF encrypt.txt

It is NOT certain that the key belongs to the person named
in the user ID. If you *really* know what you are doing,
you may answer the next question with yes.
Use this key anyway? (y/N) y
●将加密文件复制合作伙伴。
[linuxidc@server2 ~]$ scp encrypt.txt.asc server1.example.com:~
●解密合作伙伴已加密的文件并验证您可以查看他们所发送的消息。
[linuxidc@server1 ~]$ gpg --decrypt encrypt.txt.asc
