Configure
=========

If up:

.. code:: shell

  killall gpg-agent
  killall dirmngr

wipe if needed
--------------

.. code:: shell

  rm --force --recursive ~/.gnupg
  mkdir -m 700 ~/.gnupg

check available algorithms
--------------------------

.. code:: shell

  gpg --version

avoid default use of SHA256
---------------------------

* gpg.conf

::

  default-preference-list SHA512 AES256 BZIP2

  cert-digest-algo SHA512
  cipher-algo AES256
  compress-algo BZIP2
  digest-algo SHA512

  personal-cipher-preferences AES256
  personal-digest-preferences SHA512
  personal-compress-preferences BZIP2

  with-keygrip
  with-subkey-fingerprint

  keyserver-options include-revoked

avoid DL/UL issues, depending on DNS
------------------------------------

* dirmngr.conf

Generate
========

master key
----------

.. code:: shell

  gpg --expert --full-generate-key

::

  8 → RSA (set your own capabilities)
  s → toggle the sign capability
  e → toggle the encrypt capability
  q → finished
  4096
  2y → key expires in 2 years
  y → this is correct
  First Last
  user@domain.tld
  comment
  o → ok

.. code:: shell

  gpg --quick-generate-key 'First Last <user@domain.tld>' rsa4096 cert 2y

revocation certificate
----------------------

.. code:: shell

  gpg --generate-revocation "KeyID" > "FFIINNGGEERRPPRRIINNTT.rev"

::

  y

::

  0 → no reason specified
  1 → key has been compromised
  2 → key is superseded
  3 → key is no longer used
