-There is a lot of documentation about GnuPG on the [[http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/index.en.html|official web site]]. For the impatient, I suggest to read a very nice and compact tutorial that can be found [[http://www.dewinter.com/gnupg_howto/english/GPGMiniHowto.html|here]]. In particular, you should read the [[http://www.dewinter.com/gnupg_howto/english/GPGMiniHowto-1.html|Concepts]] and the [[http://www.dewinter.com/gnupg_howto/english/GPGMiniHowto-3.html|Using Keys]] chapters.+There is a lot of documentation about GnuPG on the [[http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/index.en.html|official web site]].

-==== Mac ==== 
-{{ mail:noprivatekey.png?64|first dialog for GPG Keychain Access}} 
-Setup your private key. Launch GPG Keychain Access. Normally, if you never used GnuPG before, you will probably be asked if you want to create or import your personal private/public key pair. Unless you already have a pair of keys (e.g. you generated it using command line ''gpg --gen-key'', click on //generate//. Follow the process and accept all default values. You will also be asked to set a password for your private key: **do not** use something trivial to guess otherwise all this is useless!  
  
-{{ mail:pgpmailpreferences.png?64|GnuPG Mail preferences}}Your newly generated key will appear also as default Personal Key in the //Keys// section of the //PGP// tab of Mail preferences. You are now ready for sending encrypted and/or digitally signed messages with //Mail// 
  
-PGPMail is well documented in its [[http://www.sente.ch/software/GPGMail/French.lproj/GPGMail.html|official website]]. The interface is very simple and should be easy to understand.

-==== Linux ====

-===== Install ===== 
-==== Mac (Leopard) + Apple Mail ==== 
-  - Download and install the latest version of Mac GNU Privacy Guard v2.x from [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/macgpg2/files/|here]]. It is an installer package. Just double click on it and follow the instructions. 
-  -  {{ mail:gnupgprefpane.png|GnuPG preference pane}} Download and install (just click on ''GnuPG.prefPane'') the latest version of GPGPreferences from [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/macgpg/files/|here]]. You will have a new item in System Preferences. Open it and have a look to the configuration. Eventually change the **Key Server** to ''keys.gnupg.net''. 
-  - Download and install GPG Keychain Access also from [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/macgpg/files/|here]]. To install just drag the ''.app'' bundle in your ''/Application'' folder. 
-  - Download and install [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/gpgmail/files/|GPGMail]]. You can install it by running (double clicking) the ''Install GPGMail.app'' script, or by copying the ''GPGMail.mailbundle'' in the ''Mail/Bundles/'' folder in your ''Library'' folder. 
- 
-==== Linux ==== 
-GnuPG is installed by default on most Linux machines.
