So you want to make a GPG/PGP key, and you want to use a GPG key, now what the hell is GPG?

GPG is a program to make PGP key-pair (public / private), a PGP key-pair is a set of keys (with optional sub-keys) that allow you to encrypt a message to someone else's public key, and only that person can read/do something with that message.

In case you don't know any plain text message sent over the internet can be intercepted and altered before it reaches its recipient, to avoid this all you have to do is to encrypt your plain text message using the public key of the recipient such that only the recipient can decipher the message using his/her private key.
It is important to not share your private key with anyone, as anyone with your private key can decipher your messages, Do note that once your message has been encrypted not even the NSA or GCHQ can decipher it.

You may ask what is the importance of encrypting your correspondence with your clients and co-workers this is to avoid industrial espionage and periodic leakage of sensitive information. Let say I send my secret recipe to a friend in another country, before it gets to my friend my message could be intercepted by my competitors and they would learn about my recipe, but if the message were encrypted it would be useless and meaningless to them because only my friend can unlock the message with his secret key, note that not even the CIA, NSA, GCHQ, and Nigerian's NIA can unlock that message.


Here is a link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m56dsDc2808 on how you could download and setup your own GPG or PGP key, if you run into any problems do state them here and i will try my best to explain better.

After installation is complete always use the clipboard or notepad to compose messages DO NOT and i repeat DO NOT type your messages on a web browser, messages in your inbox or draft or sent folder are not that safe even if you delete those messages they would only be unavailable to you on the front end but on the back it, it is still available to them. So best practice would be to compose your messages on notepad copy to your GPG clipboard, encrypt it using the public key of the recipient, copy the encrypted message, paste in your mail and send to recipient, recipient receives message, copies it to GPG clip, decipher message using private key.
Also avoid using Microsoft word as well.
