Tech project 1: Create a GPG key and upload it to the keyservers

Linux instructions

There are a number of tools available to Linux users including many different plugins for popular email clients. I recommend using the enigmail plugin for the Thunderbird mail client as a place to start. Install both tools as you would any other software and then take a look at this quickstart guide from Enigmail: Enigmail quick start

OSX Instructions

Windows instructions

The GPG4win project maintains an easy installer for GPG and instructional materials for generating a key and uploading it to the keyservers. Take a look at their homepage for the software, then refer to their Gpg4win Compendium guide for more detailed instructions.
