Re: [GPGTools] Linux to Mac application (web) [Everything]
Not really. At work, I use GPG in a programmatic way, to decrypt/encrypt data files passed by FTP, but I know
nothing about using it for email, esp on a Mac. My hosting customer uses PGP on a Mac to decrypt emails
containing credit card info. She needs to get a new computer, and has been told that the new Mac OSes do
not support PGP, and I can't help.
Even if GPG will work on a newer Mac, if I convert her website to generating those emails with GPG, I would
do so using a public/private key pair, but couldn't tell her how to install the public key in her email client.
I told her to find someone in her area (Washington state) who could answer these questions:
1. Will GPG run on a new Mac OS
2. Can emails be decrypted with a public key generated by Linux
We're both stuck until we know those answers.
Thanks,
Sandy Keathley

Hi Sandy,
GPGTools might be exactly what you need.
First it brings the newest version of GPG 2.x to
your Mac including a bunch of helper tools to
decrypt/encrypt/verify/sign files (GPGServices) and emails (GPGMail for Mail.app and Enigmail for Thunderbird) and also an easy to use app called
GPG Keychain Access for managing your keys.
I hope that helps you and your client
