PGPSteps
I've done a semi-major update of "PGPSteps" and included key revokation
in the set-up part. Also various URL's were added/corrected/updated.
I've tried to include Windows 95 references as well (where applicable).
By now I consider "PGPSteps" "complete" in terms of the installing
procedure. I hope, it's still simple and easy, although it's a couple
page longer now.
If you have any comments, corrections etc., please let me know.
Ciao
Harka
PS: Dave, please update it on the Web page. Thanks :)

Pretty Good Privacy (PGP)
Installation - Step by Step
by Harka <harka(at)nycmetro.com>
last updated: 05/01/1997
"PGPSteps" (c) may be distributed freely without charge, left
unchanged and the intact signature. The latest version is available
by sending an e-mail to harka(at)nycmetro.com with the subject:
SEND PGPSTEPS (finger for update info).
See also http://bureau42.base.org/public/pgpsteps.txt for a recent
version.
Note: This document is intended for first-time PGP users. It is
meant as a short step-by-step reference guide for the installation
of PGP (Pretty Good Privacy), versions 2.6.2 and 2.6.3i, on an IBM
compatible computer running DOS/Windows.
However, it is _not_ meant to replace the PGP-documentation in any
way. As a matter of fact, it is highly recommended to read at least
pgpdoc1.txt (included in the PGP-distribution) _before_ actually
installing the program.
Much more additional info not covered here you'll also find in the
various comprehensive FAQ's (see FURTHER INFORMATION at the end).
Portions from the PGP documentation have been used herein. Thanks
to Philip Zimmermann, Perry Metzger, Colin Plumb, Derek Atkins,
Jeffrey I. Schiller, all of the Cypherpunks list and others.
It might be useful to print this document out as a reference.
====================================================================
So you feel like having some more privacy by using PGP?
Wise decision! Congratulations :)

Getting PGP
-----------
The latest official US-version is PGP 2.6.2 (freeware). If you are
a citizen of the United States, you can download pgp262.zip from
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) at
http://web.mit.edu/network/pgp.html
The latest international version is 2.6.3ia (freeware). If you live
in any other country than the US, you can download pgp263i.zip from
the International PGP-Homepage at
http://www.ifi.uio.no/pgp/
The reason for two separate versions are patent law issues. If you
use the international version in the US (or vice versa) you might
be in violation of these patent laws.
Both versions are, however, essentially the same thing. Therefore
download and use the one, that applies to you.
Having downloaded PGP, create a C:\PGP directory.
In DOS you can use MD PGP from the C:\ prompt and in Windows 3.1
you can use the File Manager. Here go to the FILE menu and CREATE
DIRECTORY (in Windows 95: EXPLORER/select MAIN FOLDER
(c:)/FILE/NEW/FOLDER, name the new folder PGP).
Copy the downloaded pgp262.zip (or international pgp263i.zip) into
your new C:\PGP directory. You might want to copy pkunzip.exe into
your PGP directory as well - makes things easier :).
(You will need PKUNZIP version 2.04g or later to uncompress and
split the PGP262.ZIP archive file into individual files. PKUNZIP is
shareware and is widely available on MSDOS machines. A
Windows-version called WINZIP is available as well. More details if
necessary you'll find in the PGP documentation in a file called
setup.doc.)
Unzip the archive in the C:\PGP directory with:
pkunzip pgp262.zip
or
pkunzip pgp263i.zip
Now you'll find a second zip file pgp262i.zip (pgp263ii.zip) in
your PGP directory, plus a corresponding file pgp262i.asc
(pgp263ii.asc).
The .asc (ASCII)-file is the signature, that let's you verify the
integrity of the archive (after you've installed PGP).
Unzip pgp262i.zip (pgp263ii.zip) with:
pkunzip pgp262i.zip -d
or
pkunzip pgp263ii.zip -d
Remember to recreate the directories by using pkunzips -d option!
(You should now have a subdirectory within C:\PGP called DOC, i.e.
C:\PGP\DOC. As you might have guessed already, that contains the
PGP documentation :)).
Setting the Environment
-----------------------
Next, you can set an MSDOS "environment variable" to let PGP know
where to find its special files. Use your favorite text editor to
add the following lines to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file (usually on your
C: drive):
SET PGPPATH=C:\PGP
SET PATH=C:\PGP;%PATH%
In DOS you can use EDIT by typing EDIT C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT . You'll
probably already have a couple of SET lines, just put the one's for
PGP in there somewhere.
In WINDOWS 3.1 you can go to Program Manager (the main screen) and
go to the menu FILE, RUN and type SYSEDIT (in Windows 95 use
START/RUN/SYSEDIT). This will open several files, including the
AUTOEXEC.BAT. Go to that window and include the SET lines from
above.
Substitute your own directory name if different from "C:\PGP".
While you're editing the AUTOEXEC.BAT, include the TZ variable as
well. The TZ (Time-Zone)-variable tells MSDOS what time zone you
are in, which helps PGP create GMT timestamps for its keys and
signatures. If you properly define TZ in AUTOEXEC.BAT, then MSDOS
gives you good GMT timestamps, and will handle daylight savings
time adjustments for you. Here are some sample lines to insert into
AUTOEXEC.BAT (see above on how to), depending on your time zone:
For Los Angeles: SET TZ=PST8PDT
For Denver: SET TZ=MST7MDT
For Arizona: SET TZ=MST7
(Arizona never uses daylight savings time)
For Chicago: SET TZ=CST6CDT
For New York: SET TZ=EST5EDT
For London: SET TZ=GMT0BST
For Amsterdam: SET TZ=MET-1DST
For Moscow: SET TZ=MSK-3MSD
For Aukland: SET TZ=NZT-13
Your AUTOEXEC.BAT should now look similar to this example:
@ECHO OFF
C:\MCAFEE\VSHIELD /anyaccess /xmsdata /only a:
PROMPT $P$G
PATH=C:\NC;C:\DOS;C:\;C:\NC\WINSOCK;C:\WINDOWS;C:\MCAFEE
SET PGPPATH=C:\PGP
SET PATH=C:\PGP;%PATH%
SET TZ=EST5EDT
SET MIXPATH=C:\NC\PI
SET TEMP=C:\TRASH
SET WINPMT=[WINDOWS] $P$G
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4
SET GALAXY=A220 I5 D1 K10 P530 T6
C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE 1024 512 /X
C:\MCAFEE\VSHIELD /reconnect
win :
If it does, EXCELLENT! Now save it and reboot your system to run
AUTOEXEC.BAT, which will set up PGPPATH and TZ for you.
Generating Your First Key
-------------------------
Being new to PGP, it might be a good idea to create a test key
first, so that you can play around with it and even pretend to send
messages back and forth. That will give you some feeling on how it
works (and also take some of the fear away :)). But note, that this
is for _testing_ purposes only, it's not your actual key yet! I
recommend to play around in DOS using the command lines, so when
you use one of the many shells and front-ends available later on,
you'll know what's going on "behind the scenes".
To generate your test key, go to DOS and type:
pgp -kg
Since this will be a test key only, choose the smallest key size
(1), make your keyID Test Key <[email protected]> and the pass phrase
TEST.
Then generate the key.
Now you'll find two new files in your C:\PGP directory: secring.pgp
(your secret keyring) and pubring.pgp (your public keyring).
Basically you're ready to play now.
You might want to start by signing your own public key (Note: the
international version 2.6.3i already does that automatically for
you during key generation) by typing:
pgp -ks test -u test
("test" being the ID for the key, that you sign and the second
"test" the ID, that will be used to sign with. Since you sign your
own key, both ID's are the same. Later on with your real key,
however, the ID "test" will be replaced by your actual name and the
key to be signed will very likely be somebody else's).
You could also add the public keys from C:\PGP\keys.asc to your
public keyring with:
pgp -ka keys.asc
After having added the keys, you now can also verify the integrity
of the PGP archive (good idea!) by typing:
pgp pgp262i.asc pgp262i.zip
or
pgp pgp263ii.asc pgp263ii.zip
PGP should tell you that it has a Good Signature from:
Jeffrey I. Schiller <jis(at)mit.edu>
It will also tell you that it doesn't "trust" the (jis(at)mit.edu)
key. This is because PGP does not *know* that the enclosed key
really belongs to Jeffrey.
Don't worry about this now. Read the section "How to Protect Public
Keys from Tampering" in Volume 1 of the PGP manual.
(If you get a Good Signature, you could now actually delete
pgp262i.zip & pgp262i.asc or pgp263ii.zip & pgp263ii.asc to save
some space. But keep the original archive that you downloaded
around.)
Or you can take some document and sign it clear-text with
pgp -sta filename
and then verify it by typing
pgp filename.asc
Or you can encrypt files, sign them, wipe them, extract keys, check
fingerprints or, or, or...
At the end of this document you'll find a very helpful command line
summary with enough options to play with. And, of course, read the
actual PGP documentation before you move on to the next step!!
Getting set up for real
-----------------------
Alright, you've played around with PGP, might have generated
several keys, sent messages "back and forth", read the
documentation and maybe the FAQ's, and generally you feel pretty
comfortable with it. Of course, you actually want to now use PGP in
the "real world". :)
Since you've edited the autoexec.bat, have set up the PGP directory
etc. already during the test run, all you actually have to do to
get back to "ground zero" is delete the files C:\PGP\SECRING.PGP,
C:\PGP\SECRING.BAK (if there), C:\PGP\PUBRING.PGP and
C:\PGP\PUBRING.BAK (if there).
Now generate your actual key with:
pgp -kg
This time choose at least "military grade" (option 3, 1024 bits)
for your key size. Note, that both 2.6.2 and 2.6.3i support up to
2048 bit keys. If you want the maximum key size, you'll have to
actually type 2048, instead of simply choosing 1, 2 or 3.
For the key ID use the generally used format of:
firstname lastname <[email protected]>
example:
John Doe <[email protected]>
(including the < >).
Now choose a _strong_ and _long_ passphrase. At least 20 different
characters are recommended. Try to avoid simple words but include
as many different (random) characters as possible.
Example:
Passphrase "Thomas" is really not a good one, especially if that's
your name.
"Thomas is wandering over the Red Square" is better already, but
wouldn't stand long either to a dictionary attack.
"Th0m@$iswaN-Der1ngOVE/RtH%r&dS\QA~<" would therefore be a much
better choice.
Use your imagination and remember: long, unguessable and many
different characters!
(see also the Passphrase FAQ and the Diceware Homepage in FURTHER
INFORMATION on how to get a good passphrase)
_Never_ write your passphrase down, don't tell it to anybody (not
even to your boy/girlfriend, husband, mother or whomever!) and
never let anybody look over your shoulder, when you type it in!!
Now finish generating the key. Btw., when it comes to "type some
random text", don't hit the same key over and over again :). Type
your favorite poem or an article from the newspaper until it beeps.
Sign your own key again with pgp -ks yourID -u yourID (only
2.6.2.) and then make backup copies of the keys and the original
pgp zip-archive (that you downloaded) to a floppy disk.
While you're at it, extract your public key with pgp -kxa yourID
yourID and copy yourID.asc to the disk as well.
Keep this file on your hard drive too; you'll probably need it quite
often to cut & paste your public key from into e-mail.
Next create a Key Revokation Certificate.
This will be used in case you either somehow loose your secret key
completely or if somebody has gotten a copy of your secret key and
you have reason to believe, that they got (or will get) your
passphrase too. Obviously something you want to avoid at all costs!
A Key Revokation Certificate is basically your public key with a
stamp "REVOKED" on it. This you can send to people (or a key
server) if your secret key ever gets compromised. It will
essentially tell their PGP: DON'T USE yourID's KEY EVER AGAIN
'CAUSE IT'S COMPROMISED! (see also PGP-documentation).
Before you create your Revokation Certificate, make sure that you
have made backup copies of your keys (secring.pgp and pubring.pgp)
to the floppy-disk. You will need them!
To revoke your key type:
pgp -kd yourID
You'll have to type in your passphrase and then your key get's
revoked. If you check with pgp -kc yourID , you'll see, what it
looks like.
Next extract your (now revoked) key with:
pgp -kxa yourID revoke
into a file called revoke.asc. This is the file, that you'll send
to people in case your secret key get's compromised.
Copy the Key Revokation Certificate (revoke.asc) to the floppy-disk
with your backup-keys.
Now all you actually have to do to get your keys from "REVOKED"
back to "normal" is to copy the backups (secring.pgp and
pubring.pgp) from the floppy-disk back into your C:\PGP directory.
Overwrite the existing (revoked) keys with the backups.
If you now check with pgp -kc yourID, you should see your regular
public key again (no "REVOKED" anymore).
On your backup disk you should now have at least the following
files:
pgp262.zip -the original PGP-distribution archive
(or pgp263i.zip)
secring.pgp -your secret keyring
pubring.pgp -your public keyring
yourID.asc -your normal public key
revoke.asc -your revoked public key (Revokation Certificate)
autoexec.bat -(optional)
Write-protect the disk and keep it in a safe place, where _nobody_
but you has access to it.
That's almost it for installing PGP...
As an optional step, you might want to make your public key
generally available by sending it to a public key server.
See http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~bal/pks-toplev.html
for an easy Web-form, where you can submit your own key or get the
public keys from others (works also via e-mail).
Check http://www.pgp.net/pgpnet/www-key.html for other WWW-key
servers.
You're finished with the setup now and ready to roll!!
(Was pretty easy, huh? :))
Most common mistakes in the beginning
-------------------------------------
1. Sending your secring.pgp and/or your passphrase to somebody
else.
DON'T!! You don't need to share any of this with public key
cryptography (see PGP documentation for more details). All that
people need to encrypt mail to you or check your signature is your
_public_ key.
2. Sending the entire file pubring.pgp to somebody else.
No need to either. Extract only your _own_ key with pgp -kxa
yourID filename into a file.
This file you can now send either as attachment or simply cut &
paste the key into your e-mail window and send it as regular e-mail
(the same applies to the Revokation Certificate in revoke.asc; in
case you ever need it).
3. Writing down your passphrase.
As strange as it may seem, but despite all warnings a lot of people
still do that. DON'T! EVER!
Besides, after using PGP on a daily basis, you really should not
forget your passphrase anymore anyway.
4. Not keeping physical control of secring.pgp
Don't let _anybody_ get a copy of your secret keyring. Because the
only thing, that will stand from there between them and all your
e-mail is your passphrase. And if it's a weak one (that they can
crack or guess) or they even know it (see "Writing down your
passphrase"), then it's over with security and privacy. And that
would be very unfortunate indeed.
The same applies to the floppy disks with the backups.
As a common tag line on the Internet goes:
"My public key you can get with the subject: Send public key.
My secret key you can pry out of my cold, dead fingers!!"
5. Not being careful with plain-text(s)
PGP only protects messages and files as long as they are encrypted.
If you save the de-crypted text(s) to your hard drive or even print
them out and leave them laying around on your desk, then PGP can't
help you anymore either, if somebody finds it.
So either delete the files (wipe them with pgp -w filename) or
encrypt them to yourself or encrypt them conventionally (pgp -c
filename), if you need to keep them.
6. Not reading the PGP documentation at least once
no comment, except RTFM!
Front Ends and Plug-In's
------------------------
Of course, most of us get pretty tired after a while doing
everything manually via command lines. That's where so called
front-ends come in. These are additional programs, that make things
like PGP much easier to use.
There are literally tons of them out there (check
http://www.ifi.uio.no/pgp/utils.shtml) for some of them.
Personally I recommend the following three:
** AutoPGP ** by Stale Schumacher <staalesc(at)ifi.uio.no>, the
same guy, who also wrote the international PGP version 2.6.3i.
(Shareware; registration fee is 15$)
This is a DOS program designed to work together with
QWK/SOUP-standard offline mail readers, such as OLX, Blue Wave, 1st
Reader etc.. It makes sending/receiving PGP messages really, really
easy, especially if you have lots of them.
check http://www.ifi.uio.no/~staalesc/AutoPGP/ to download it.
** Private Idaho ** by Joel McNamara <joelm(at)eskimo.com>
(Freeware)
A Windows front-end not only for PGP, but also for anonymous
remailers and NYM-servers. Nice and easy to use interface, and it
works together with most popular mail programs. If you have a SLIP
or PPP connection, you can even send/receive PGP messages right
from Private Idaho itself. If not, you can "port" messages from the
PI window into your regular mail program (Netscape Mail, for
example) with the click of a button. If that doesn't work, you can
still write your messages in Private Idaho, encrypt/sign them and
then cut & paste it into your normal e-mail program (and vice
versa, of course).
It also comes with a PGP Quickstart file for Windows, in case you
really don't feel comfortable setting up PGP in plain DOS. But why
would you, since you're reading this...:)
check http://www.eskimo.com/~joelm/ to download it.
** PGPMail ** by Pretty Good Privacy Inc.
(29,95 $ for US users, who have PGP 2.6.2 already installed)
Contact: <pgpservice(at)pgp.com>
- From the masters themselves a full-featured plug-in for the Windows
95/NT versions of Eudora 3.0 and Netscape Mail. You actually don't
even need to have the freeware PGP version installed. All you'd
need is PGPMail 4.5 (pgpmail45.exe). However, the price given above
is a special discount given to PGP 2.6.2 freeware users (see web
page for details).
PGPMail 4.5 makes PGP-encryption not only easy, but fast as well.
During installation it will add a few buttons to your Eudora
window, which means, that you never have to leave Eudora (or
Netscape) to encrypt/decrypt/sign etc..
Highly recommended, for newcomers and seasoned PGP-users alike.
check http://www.pgp.com/products/PGPmail.cgi to download it
(US-citizens only).
PGPMail is export-controlled software. Therefore a URL outside the
US can not be provided here. If you live outside the US and you use
Windows 95/NT, you might want to check the windows95 directory at:
ftp://ftp.replay.com/pub/replay/pub/pgp/pc/
for any other front-ends and/or plug-in's available.
