GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 217269
GPG Key GUI Request
Last modified: 2013-09-13 00:49:49 UTC
Package: Evolution Priority: Wishlist Version: 1.0 Synopsis: GPG Key GUI Request Bugzilla-Product: Evolution Bugzilla-Component: Mailer Description: In the next version, can a GUI be added (or set up a way to use an external program) for managing GPG keys. Just making a key isn't enough, you have to assign trust and sign keys, too. All of this is fine and dandy from the command line, but an integrated editor would be really nice. Make a key for each email from inside Evolution, send it to the keyserver chain and then recieve and edit keys from other people. I think this would be a step forward in reducing the bar to using encryption more often which I think is a really good idea. Perhaps in the next version or two? Thanks for all the hard work and great code! Bryan Baskin Fort Worth, TX http://www.flash.net/~bbaskin Unknown reporter: bbaskin@flash.net, changed to bugbuddy-import@ximian.com.
I think we were thinking of this working with an S/MIME key management program thingy. Would be great if a volunteer would hack on it, especially since it will be a lot of work to make it work with all versions of pgp :\ marking as Future for now. it may even be a duplicate, but I don't think we ever actually made a bug report about it in bugzilla so maybe not.

adding keyword
couldn't we rather make use of seahorse ? or invoke it/integrate it?
because we need a generic solution, which seahorse is not (nor does any user have seahorse installed)
*** Bug 335514 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Doesn't seahorse come officially with gnome?
No, altho I think it may now do more than just GPG. I'm not enthusiastic about "integrating it" with Evolution, but I think that as a separate tool, it should be plenty for the original bug reporter.
Seahorse is an official part of the GNOME 2.20 Desktop.
