GPG keyring management

Description

Signing or encrypting with GPG require that the keys are stored in your personal keyring. Use gpg_version to see which keyring (home dir) you are using. Also see gpg_keygen for generating a new key.

Usage

gpg_import(file)

gpg_recv(id, search = NULL, keyserver = NULL)

gpg_send(id, keyserver = NULL)

gpg_delete(id, secret = FALSE)

gpg_export(id, secret = FALSE)

gpg_list_keys(search = "", secret = FALSE)

gpg_list_signatures(id)

Arguments

file	path to the key file or raw vector with key data
id	unique ID of the pubkey to import (starts with ⁠0x⁠). Alternatively you can specify a search string.
search	string with name or email address to match the key info.
keyserver	address of http keyserver. Default behavior is to try several commonly used servers (MIT, Ubuntu, GnuPG, Surfnet)
secret	set to TRUE to list/export/delete private (secret) keys
