For name, put your screen name; you can either leave e-mail blank, put your real e-mail address, or use a fake e-mail address. It should be noted that the name and e-mail address you use will be visible to anyone you send your public key to. It will also ask you for a comment, which you can leave blank if you wish, or you can put a comment in if you have a reason to do so.

To send the message to the individual, simply copy and paste the encrypted block of text to your clipboard, and e-mail it to them, or send it to them in a private message, or whatever.

Simply paste their signed message into the editor, and click on the sign/verify button. A window will pop up telling you if the signature is valid or not. After you verify the signature, remove the signature from the editor. You will also need to remove one extra “*” at the top and bottom of the message, so that “BEGIN PGP MESSAGE” is the first line and “END PGP MESSAGE” is the last line. After doing this, simply click the decrypt key and enter your passphrase after you are prompted to do so.
