>> PGP ENCRYPTION

[CRYPTOGRAPHY] Complete guide to using PGP encryption on TorZon Market.

>> WHY PGP?

PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is an encryption standard that allows you to protect your messages from interception. On TorZon Market, PGP is used for:

  • [PRIVACY] Protecting delivery addresses from third parties
  • [SECURITY] Secure communication with vendors
  • [AUTH] Verification of message authenticity
  • [REQUIRED] Mandatory requirement for most vendors

>> INSTALLATION

[WINDOWS]

  • Download Kleopatra (gpg4win.org)
  • Install the program
  • Create a new key pair

[LINUX/TAILS]

  • PGP is pre-installed
  • Use terminal or GUI
  • gpg --gen-key

[macOS]

  • Download GPG Suite
  • (gpgtools.org)
  • Follow instructions

>> HOW TO USE

[STEP 1] CREATE KEYS

Generate a key pair: public (for others) and private (for you only). Use a strong passphrase for the private key.

[STEP 2] IMPORT VENDOR KEY

Copy the vendor's public key from their TorZon profile and import it into your PGP program.

[STEP 3] ENCRYPT MESSAGE

Write your message (address, order details), select vendor's key and encrypt. Only the recipient can read it.

[STEP 4] SEND

Paste the encrypted message in TorZon chat. It will look like random characters, but the vendor can decrypt it.

>> IMPORTANT
  • [!] Never share your private key
  • [!] Keep key backups in a safe place
  • [!] Use 4096-bit RSA or better
  • [!] Don't use real name in key
