The very first step in using GPG4WIN is generating or importing your own keypair.
Generate keypair if you do not have one. If you already have your own keypair, please jump to
section “Importing Your Keypair”.

Step(B c) 1 :
You can start this process by selecting WinPT from the Windows Start Menu
n có th b t u ti n trình b ng cách ch n WinPT t th c n Start c a Windows

Step 2:
Choose ‘Generate a GnuPG key pair’. Click ‘OK’.
Ch n Generate a GnuPG key pair . Click OK .

Step 3:
Enter your real name and your e-mail address. Unless you have specific need for RSA keys
and other expert setting, leave the ‘Prefer RSA keys’ empty5. Click ‘OK’ to proceed.
Nh p tên th c và a ch e-mail. N u không b n ph i c n khóa RSA rõ ràng và m t h th ng
thông minh khác, tr ng m c Prefer RSA keys . Click OK ti p t c.

For those who are curious enough, GnuPG use 2048-bit DSA and ElGamal algorithm,
as specified in the
OpenPGP standard as mandatory asymmetric algorithm.
Step 4:
Now you have to provide a passphrase that will protect your secret key.
Please note that there will be no way to retrieve or reset this passphrase if you forget it, so
be very careful. And one more thing: pick a long phrase that hard-to-guess. Click ‘OK’ to
proceed.
y gi b n ph i cung c p m t passphrase mà s b o v khóa bí m t c a b n.
Vui long l u l i, s không có cách nào l y l i ho c thi t l p l i passphrase này n u b n
quên nó, do ó ph i r t cân th n. Và thêm n a: t c m t dài khó oán. Click OK
ti p t c.

Step 5:
Re-type your passphrase for confimation. Click ‘OK’ to proceed.
Nh p l i passphrase c a b n xác nh n. Click OK ti p t c.

Step 6:
GnuPG will create your keypair by generating some random bits. To increase the
randomness (and also increasing the keypair quality), you might want to try some of these:
GnuPG s t o c p khóa c a b n b ng cách phát sinh ng u nhiên m t vài bit.
t ng thêm s ng u nhiên(và c ng t ng thêm ch t l ng cho c p khóa), b n có th mu n
thêm m t vài th :
- moving your mouse randomly
- di chuy n chu t c a b n m t cách ng u nhiên
- typing random character using keyboard
- gõ ký t ng u nhiên dùng bàn phím
- opening a large file
- m m t file l n
- running a resource-intensive program
- ch y m t ch ng trình có tài nguyên l n
Step 7:
The key generation process is complete. Click ‘OK’ to proceed.
Quá trình phát sinh khóa n ây là hoàn thành. Click OK ti p t c.

Step 8:
Passphrase is similar to password, but (should) consists of two or more words. In means
that passphrase should have more characters that ordinary password. You can
read tips about passphrase at
http://www.iusmentis.com/security/passphrasefaq/strength/#HowdoImakeastrongpassphrase

Since your keypair (and your keyring7) is an important part in public-key cryptography, we
strongly recommend you to store your keyrings in a backup media (floppy disk, CDROM, or
other removable media). Losing these keyrings means: (1) you cannot access your
encrypted e-mails and files and (2) you need to re-distribute (or re-publish) your new public
key. To back it up, choose ‘Yes’.

Please note that your private (secret) keyring is protected by your passphrase, so it would be
safe enough to back it up in a common backup media (assuming you pick a good
passphrase in previous step).
Vui long ghi chú ó khóa riêng t c b o v b i passphrase c a b n, do ó nó s an

Step 9:
Now, you have two different keyring to backup: a public keyring and a private (secret)
keyring. Choose your backup media to store your public keyring,
Bây gi b n có hai khóa khác nhau backup: m t là khóa công khai và m t là khóa riêng
(bí m t).

A keyring is a collection of several keys

This section is only intended for those who already had their own keypair before
WinPT
installation. For example: veteran GnuPG command-line user or PGP Desktop8.

Tips for PGP Desktop user: You can import PGP Desktop keypair/keyring by
simply renaming the pubring.pkr and secring.skr to pubring.gpg and secring.gpg.
Then, you can import them using steps below.

Step 1:
Start the WinPT Program.
t u ch ng trình WinPT.

Step 2:
Choose ‘Copy GnuPG keyrings from another location’ and click ‘OK’.
Ch n Copy GnuPG keyrings from another location và click OK .
 Step 3:
Browse to your public keyring location. Choose that keyring and click ‘OK’.
Ch n n i ch a keyring công khai c a b n. Ch n kering ó và click OK .

Step 4:
Browse to your private (secret) keyring location. Choose that keyring and click ‘OK’.
Ch n cái n i ch a keyring riêng t (bí m t) c a b n. Ch n kering ó và click OK .

Step 5:
Right-click the WinPT System Tray icon and choose ‘Key Manager’.
Click ph i vào bi u t ng h th ng WinPT và ch n Key Manager .
Step 6:
You might encounter this message if WinPT cannot found ultimate trusted key in the current
keyring. Just click ‘OK’ for this message.
n có th b t g p tin nh n n u WinPT không th tìm khóa th t trong kering hi n t i. Click
OK cho tin nh n này.

Step 7:
In the Key Manager, right-click on the key and choose ‘Set Implicit Trust’. This key will
become valid and have ultimate trust properties.
Trong Key Manager(qu n lý khóa), click ph i trên khóa và ch n Set Implicit Trust . K h ó a
n à y s t r n ê n c ó g i á t r v à v à c ó t í n h c h t ch â n t h t .

Now you have your own keypair: a public key and a private (secret) key. Bob, for
example, will need your public key if he want to send encrypted e-mail to you. So the
next logical step will be exporting/publishing your public key so that Bob and
everyone else can send encrypted e-mail to you.
Bây gi b n có m t c p khóa riêng c a b n: m t khóa công khai và m t khóa riêng t (bí

n. Do ó b c ti p theo s xu t khóa công khai c a b n b i v y Bob và m i ng i
khác có th g i e-mail ã mã t i b n.

Step 1:
Start WinPT from the Start Menu.
t u WinPT t th c n Start.
 Step 2:
Activate the Key Manager by right-click on the WinPT system tray icon and choose
‘Key Manager’
Kích ho t Key Manager(qu n lý khóa) b ng cách click ph i trên bi u t ng ch ng

Step 3:
Choose ‘Key > Export...’ from the menu.
Ch n Key > Export... t th c n.

Step 4:
Name the key and save it.
Tên khóa và l u nó.
Step 5:
Click ‘OK’ when the notification box appears.
Click OK khi xu t hi n h p khai báo.

Now, you can send this file to anyone that need your public key. You can do it by:
Bây gi b n g i file này t i m i ng i c n khóa công khai c a b n. B n có th làm nó b i:
attach the file to your e-mail
Áp m t file t i e-mail c a b n

editor) to your e-mail text
Sao chép-dán n i dung này.
put the file or its content in your website or weblog
t file ho c n i dung trong website ho c weblog.
put it in removable media (floppy disk, USB flash, etc.) and circulating it
t nó trong thi t b removable media và c t nó.

If you want your public key to be recognized worldwide, you can publish your public
key at some internet keyservers.

xu t b n khóa công khai c a b n m t vài máy ch s ch a khóa trên m ng th g i.
[this section is not complete yet]

You will need Alice public key if you want to send encrypted e-mail/file to Alice. You
can get her public key by asking her to send it to you by e-mail, or download it from
keyservers or her website/weblog.

There are lot of methods to obtain Alice’s public key. But whatever method you
choose, make sure that the key is *really* Alice’s, not key from someone else who
pretends to be Alice.

Usually, public keys are distributed in small file with .asc extension (e.g. charlie.asc
for Charlie’s public key). But if Alice sent you her public key embedded in her e-mail
messages, for example :

Step 3:
You need to enter your passphrase to decrypt/verify the message. Click ‘OK’ to proceed.
Sometimes, you will see other people names in the list (Bob, in this example). It means that
Alice is also encrypt the messages with Bob’s public key.

WinPT s mã hóa tin nh n và ki m tra ch ký. Click OK ti p t c.

Step 5:
WinPT will display the plaintext message in the Clipboard Editor
WinPT s trình di n tin nh n g c trong m t clipboard.

You can read the message in the Clipboard Editor and then click ‘Clear’ to ensure that
the plaintext message will remain secret. But, of course, you can save this plaintext
message into an ordinary text file by clicking ‘Save’. Click ‘Close’ to end Clipboard
Editor.

Click Close k t thúc clipboard.

If Alice attach encrypted files in her e-mail, you should save the attachments in a folder
and decrypt it. Please refer to ‘Decrypting Files’ section for more information.

GPG4WIN, through its GPGee modules, provide encrypting/decrypting files feature

thorugh it context menu. You can use this feature to protect your confidential file,
either in your harddisk or in e-mail attachments.

If you are going to compress the files to reduce their size and then encrypt them,
your should know two things:
u b n mu n nén nh ng file rút b t kích th c và mã hóa nó, b n nên bi t hai u
sau:

1. You might want compress the files first and then encrypt them. It is almost
useless to compress encrypted files because encryption algorithm will reduce
(or eliminate) redundancy in digital data for –of course—security reason.
Có l b n nên nén nh ng file tr c và sau ó mã hóa chúng. Nó là vô d ng n u
n nén file ã c mã hóa b i vì thu t toán mã hóa s rút g n s d th a ó là
lý do b o m t.
 2. GPG core modules has bulit-in compression library (zlib). It means that
whenever you encrypt files, GPG will automatically compress them using that
library. In most cases, you do not need to compress them using seperate
compression tools.
GPG core modules s xây d ng th viên nén(zlib). Nó c ó n g h a b t c

Allright, let’s encrypt a file.

Bây gi mã hóa file.

Step 1:
Right-click on the file. Choose ‘GPGee > Sign & Encrypt’
Clickk ph i trên file. Ch n GPGee > Sign & Encrypt

Step 2:
Now, depending on your objective, you may choose which key(s) you are going to use. If:
Bây gi , ph thu c vào i t ng c a b n, b n có th ch n khóa b n s dùng:
1. you are going to send this file to Alice and Bob as an e-mail attachment, you
should encrypt it using their public keys.

2. you are going to encrypt the file to protect it from everybody but you, you should
encrypt it using your key and wipe the original (plaintext) file. Refer to ‘Wiping
Files’ section for detailed information about wiping files.

Step 3:
Enter the passphrase and click ‘OK’.
Nh p passphrase và click OK

Step 4:
The new encrypted file (with .gpg extension) will be placed in the same folder. Note that
the encrypted file (usually) has smaller size than the plaintext file. You can attach this
encrypted file to your encrypted e-mail message to Alice and Bob.

Step 1:
Right-click on the encrypted file and choose ‘GPGee > Verify/Decrypt’
Click ph i trên file ã mã hóa và ch n GPGee > Verify/Decrypt

Step 2:
Enter your passphrase and click ‘OK’.
Nh p passphrase và click OK .

Step 3:
The report window will be displayed, click ‘OK’.
Windown thông báo s hi n th , click OK .
Step 4:
The decrypted file will be put in the same folder.
Gi i mã file s c t trong cùng m t th m c.

If you delete files using Del or Shift-Del key or emptying Recycle Bin, the files will
leave
‘traces’ in the storage media (harddisk, USB flash disk, or other storage media).
Eve, for example, could use file recovery tool to recover the original files by
analyzing this ‘trace’. This process is called ‘file/data recovery’ or ‘undelete’.
u b n x ó a f i l e b n g cá c h b m p h í m D e l h o c S h i f t - D e l k h ó a h o c
xóa thùng rá c thi nh ng file này s m t.
T u y n h i ên c h ú n g t a c ó t h d ù n g p h n m m re co v er y tìm l i
chúng.

You can sweep these ‘traces’ away and truly erase files by overwriting it several times
using some defined binary pattern. This is called wipe (or shred or purging)
process. WinPT provide several pattern mode in wiping10.
Chúng ta có th quét s ch v t tích và xóa nh ng file b ng cách vi t è lên nó m t vài l n
dùng m t vài m u nh phân c nh ngh a s n.

Wiping utility is a complement for encryption utility. Imagine this situation: Alice sent
some encrypted secret documents to Bob. Eve, Bob’s adversary, has access to his
computer harddisk. Eve wants to recover the plaintext secret documents so that she can
sell it to the higest bidder, but all she gets are the encrypted files. Does it means
Bob’s and Alice’s secrets are safe? Maybe not. If Bob decrypt the files, read them,
and then delete the plaintext files using Shift-Del combo, Eve could simply use file
recovery tool to recover the plaintext files. And then, the encryption is futile.
Ti n ích Wiping(xóa s ch) là m t s b sung cho ti n ích mã hóa. Hình dung tình hình

 Instead of wiping files, you can wipe the storage media’s free space. This is very useful to sweep
‘traces’ of previously deleted files. Alice could reformatted her old harddisk and use this feature
to ensure that nobody could retreive her secret documents when she dumped her old harddisk in
trashcan (or gave it away to someone else).
