GPG (GNU Privacy Guard) encrypts email so only the intended recipient can read it.
- In cPanel, open Encryption in the Email section.
- Under Create a New Key, enter your name and the email address the key is for.
- Enter a passphrase, or use the Password Generator. Store it safely; it can't be recovered.
- Choose an expiry date and a key size (4096 is recommended).
- Click Generate Key.
Generating a key can take a few minutes. When done, it appears under Public Keys and Private Keys.
Using your key
Share your public key with people who want to send you encrypted mail, and import theirs to send them encrypted mail. Roundcube supports GPG through its encryption settings. Never share your private key.
