Install GPG (Mac only)

brew install gpg

Sending encrypted text

  1. Save your secret stuff to encrypted.txt.

  2. Add my public key to your gpg keyring:

    curl https://raw.github.com/gist/3958250/55c2f988f9f8b46ccacc2b42bdd2645a6ee60da4/gistfile1.txt > ~/Desktop/masnick.pgp

gpg --import ~/Desktop/masnick.pgp

  3. Encrypt encrypted.txt:

    gpg -e -r A3BB696F ~/Desktop/encrypted.txt

    (# Say y at the security prompt.)

  4. You can safely email ~/Desktop/encrypted.txt.gpg to me.
