If you want to decrypt a text file, simply drag and drop it into the editor window. Kgpg will do the rest. Even remote files can be dropped.

Drag a public key into the editor window and kgpg will automatically import it if you want.

The easiest way to encrypt a file: simply right click on the file, and you have an encrypt option in the contextual menu. This works in konqueror or on your Desktop!

If you want to encrypt a message for several persons, just select several encryption keys by pressing the "Ctrl" key.

You don't know anything about encryption?
No problem, simply create yourself a key pair in the key management window. Then, export your public key & mail it to your friends.
Ask them to do the same & import their public keys. Finally, to send an encrypted message, type it in the Kgpg editor, then click "encrypt". Choose your friend key and click "encrypt" again. The message will be encrypted, ready to be sent by email.

To perform an operation on a key, open the key management window & right click on the key. A popup menu with all available options will appear.

Decrypt a file with a single mouse click on it. You will then be prompted for password & that's all!

If you only want to open the key manager, type "kgpg -k" in the command line prompt.

Typing "kgpg -s filename" will decrypt the file filename and open it in Kgpg's editor.
