Post subject: | PGP and Multiple computers |
So I've done my fair share of searching and haven't really come to a conclusion. I Have my PGP key setup on my yubikey. I can encrypt and decrypt as intended, when I try to decrypt with my yubikey removed it doesn't work, awesome. Now what I'm wondering is how do I go about using this on say another machine. Obviously PGP must be installed. Is there a way I can use my yubikey to encrypt/decrypt information on this secondary machine? Do I need to completely take my private key and import it to this new machine in order to have my yubikey function as it does on my primary machine I used to set it up. |

No, you simply import the public key (or use fetch if you have configured the URL on YubiKey): gpg --import < pubkey.txt (or whatever filename you used for the public key) Then insert the card and verify it by: gpg --card-status Finally trust the public key: --edit-key YOUR KEY ID trust choose 5 = I trust ultimately confirm with Y then quit You're good to go on the new computer |
