PGP or Pretty Good Privacy is a secured encryption technology, which used to send and receive messages. Today, it is widely used to encrypt and decrypt emails, files, messages and more. The PGP encryption software is used for this encryption and decryption process. Moreover, you have to generate a “Key” after installing the PGP software. A PGP key is the code used to decrypt messages when you receive it.

So, for generating this PGP encryption key, you have to pursue these five crucial steps.

1. Initially, you have to open the PGP software. An interface will open on your computer or laptop screen.
2. Go on the "File" menu and click on "New PGP Key" option. Then, select the "Next" option in the opening window.
3. Now, you have to enter your email address on the screen. This email address is directly associated with your PGP key and shown in the public servers. Then, click the "Next" button.
4. Enter a unique password for your key. You can enter an alphanumeric character password. Special characters can also be used to improve the security of password. After that, select the "Next" button.
