Practical – 6
Aim: Implement GPG for windows. (Implement file encryption and decryption)
To encrypt and decrypt file, we will have to launch KLEOPATRA and for that we need
to follow the following steps.
6. Select Components:
During the installation process, you'll be prompted to select which components of Gpg4win
you want to install. Make sure to select "Kleopatra" along with any other components you
may want to install.
8. Launch Kleopatra:
You can launch Kleopatra from the Start menu or by searching for "Kleopatra" in the
Windows search bar. Once launched, you can use Kleopatra to manage your GPG keys,
perform encryption and decryption, and more.
Now that we have se up Kleopatra, following are the steps to encrypt and decrypt the
files.
6. Initiate Encryption:
Once you've selected the file and recipients, and confirmed the encryption options,
proceed to initiate the encryption process. Kleopatra will encrypt the selected file using
the chosen public keys.
4. Initiate Decryption:
Once you've selected the encrypted file and entered any necessary passphrases, proceed
to initiate the decryption process. Kleopatra will decrypt the file using the appropriate
private key.
