OpenPGP made simple with Moaiy
Understand the key model and run a workflow users can follow.
Core model
- Public key: share with senders who encrypt files for you.
- Private key: keep secret; it decrypts files addressed to you.
- Passphrase: protects your private key on disk.
Workflow example
$ moaiy key generate
$ moaiy key export --output my-public.key
$ moaiy encrypt payroll.csv --recipient [email protected]
$ moaiy decrypt payroll.csv.gpg
Common mistakes
- Storing private keys in shared folders.
- Skipping checksum checks for new binaries.
- Reusing weak passphrases across systems.
