7.2. Generating your own key pair

You need to own a key pair to join the elite that communicates securely using

GnuPG. You can create one at any moment by selecting Generate → New Key

Pair. A window will open:

To successfully generate a key pair, you must proceed through the following

steps.

7.2.1. Tell Enigmail which account to use

The Account/User ID drop-down menu shows all your email accounts and

identities configured on your mailclient: you must select one to associate to this

key pair. Select whichever account will be receiving encrypted mail, and make

sure the option Use generated key for the selected identity is ticked.

Should you decide later that you want to change the email address associated

to the key pair, or use the same key pair for multiple email addresses, you can

do this easily; how to do that is explained in Section 7.3.2.

In the Comment field you can write something about this key pair. This will help

you distinguish keys for different purposes. The comment is optional and, if set,

it will appear next to the user ID. Note that the comment will also appear in the

exported public key that you distribute to other people.
