You can use it if you want really good privacy. Without this -encryption, your messages are encrypted *at least* from your client (poezio) to -your server. The message is decrypted by your server and you cannot control the -encryption method of your messages from your server to your contact’s server -(unless you are your own server’s administrator), nor from your contact’s -server to your contact’s client. - -This plugin does end-to-end encryption. This means that *only* your contact can -decrypt your messages, and it is fully encrypted during *all* its travel -through the internet. - -Note that if you are having an encrypted conversation with a contact, you can -*not* send XHTML-IM messages to him. They will be remove and be replaced by -plain text messages. - -Installation and configuration ------------------------------- - -You should autoload this plugin, as it will send your signed presence directly -on login, making it easier for your contact’s clients to know that you are -supporting GPG encryption. To do that, use the _plugins_autoload_ configuration -option. - -You need to create a plugin configuration file. Create a file named _gpg.cfg_ -into your plugins configuration directory (_~/.config/poezio/plugins_ by -default), and fill it like this: - -[source,conf] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -[gpg] -keyid = 091F9C78 -passphrase = your OPTIONAL passphrase - -[keys] -example@jabber.org = E3CFCDE2 -juliet@xmpp.org = EF27ABCD ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - -The *Poezio* section is about your key. You need to specify the keyid, for the -key you want to use. You can as well provide a passphrase. If you don’t, you -should use a gpg agent or something like that that will ask your passphrase -whenever you need it. - -The *keys* section contains your contact’s id keys. For each contact you want -to have encrypted conversations with, add her/his JID associated with the keyid -of his/her key. - -And that’s it, now you need to talk directly to the *full* jid of your -contacts. Poezio doesn’t let you encrypt messages whom recipients is a bare -JID. - -Additionnal information on GnuPG --------------------------------- - -Create a key -~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -To create a personal key, use -================== -gpg --gen-key -================== -and fill the instructions - - -Keyid -~~~~~ -The keyid (required in the gpg.cfg configuration file) is a 8 character-long -key. You can get the ones you created or imported by using the command -======================= -gpg --list-keys -======================= -You will get something like - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -pub 4096R/01234567 2011-11-11 -uid Your Name Here (comment) <email@example.org> -sub 4096R/AAFFBBCC 2011-11-11 - -pub 2048R/12345678 2011-11-12 [expire: 2011-11-22] -uid A contact’s name (comment) <fake@fake.fr> -sub 2048R/FFBBAACC 2011-11-12 [expire: 2011-11-22] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - -In this example, the keyids are *01234567* and *12345678*. - -Share your key -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Use -=========================== -gpg --send-keys --keyserver pgp.mit.edu <keyid> -=========================== -to upload you public key on a public server. - |
