Using GnuPG plugin for Linux program communications security

The Clipboard text encryption applet Seahorse also installed a Clipboard text encryption applet, a user can add it to the Panel, so you can copy text to the Clipboard, and it encrypts and then into another application.

This is a Web-based e-mail client to use the encryption method. In order to enable it, in a Panel on right click, click "AddtoPanel" (added to the Panel). Select "ClipboardTextEncryption" (Clipboard text encryption) applet, and then click the "Add". Since then, regardless of whether the user is cut or copied text, users can click on the program, the Clipboard text encryption or signature. If text is encrypted or signed, click in this program will allow a user to decrypt or verify the text. File Manager user by using the Seahorse provides another plugin can add on data encryption and signature menu item added to NautilusFileManager (Nautilus file manager). These menu items are visible in Nautilus "found in the Edit" menu, when a user in a file or folder, right-click the time can also be found in the pop-up menu. To use these items, select the desired file or folder, click the "Edit"/"EncryptorEdit"/"Sign". GnuPG will be encrypted for the user to create a file of any extension. Pgp's new file; if the user for any file is signed, the file extension is. Sig-user original, unencrypted file will remain encrypted. To verify that the extension. Sig's signature on a file, right-click on the file, select "OpenwithVerifySignature". To decrypt a file that has the extension. Pgp file, right-click on it, select "OpenwithDecryptFile". In Nautilus plugins for older versions, the user will not see this last option, users can choose "OpenwithOtherApplication OpenWith"/"," click "OpenwithCustomCommand" option in the text box, enter "seahorse-tool-d". When finished, when a user in an encrypted file, right-click the time you will see "Openwithseahorse-tool", click this option for a user to decrypt this file. Web browser EpiphanyWeb browser from the Seahorse provides another benefit GnuPG plugin, through which users can in Web page text in encryption and signature text. Of course, users need to install Epiphany extensions, so that users can, through the "Tools"/"Extensions" menu enable an extension of the Seahorse. In the user's input focus is within a text field, it will enable right click context menu after encryption option. Users can also use Firefox with the help of FireGPG unit, direct encryption and signature Web page text fields. To use it in a text field, right-click the FireGPG's submenu available encryption options. These tools make through Web-based applications (such as Gmail, Yahoo Mail, etc!) use GnuPG to become very easy. E-mail e-mail security progress comes from the built-in GnuPG support. Thunderbird (Thunderbird) via Enigmail plugin support GnuPG.Enigmail plug-in is a comprehensive GnuPG frontend. In addition, Balsa and Claws both applications also support GnuPG. Instant Messaging (IM) in this regard, many of the software product, Psi is a cross-platform by a bar (jabber) client that supports communication using GnuPG encryption. While Gabber, is another nail bar (jabber) client, also use GnuPG.Pidgin (formerly Gaim) also has an encryption plugin and OTR plugin, it can also be encrypted to Instant Messaging, but neither use GnuPG. other platform while the title of our article is about the Linux security communication problems, but in sharing the signature or encryption of data, the user might be data and those that do not put Linux as their primary operating system it is shared. Very fortunately, GnuPG is also available in Windows and MacOSX platform implementation, but also on these platforms also have a large number of applications that allows us to use on a desktop computer and its data protection characteristics of GnuPG. Closing GNOME desktop provides a number of practical applications, these programs have built-in or inserted on the GnuPG support, this makes the program realization through the desktop digital communications becomes fairly easy. What is more, most of the previously listed support GnuPG application in KDE has its equivalent products, and provide the same or similar functionality. We believe that digital communication security prominence today, Linux desktop provides an extensive set of tools will be able to meet our needs.
