For production, see chapter 1 of GPG documentatio, "Getting Started": https://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual/c14.html (note the swapping of "g" and "p" in comparison to PGP.) The manual of gpg is quite rich in detail information: man gpg When posting official announcements to info-...@gnu.org, i use gpg --clearsign my_file to get a new file my_file.asc which looks like -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, ... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFVWdQp6cvfwKvAqFQRAkWDAJwMwJS89XAq2npLv0iYdmCT6fv8LACgoRVW csBodn7iN9YzXO2sHZgthFc= =FlQN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- This can be verified by getting my public key gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys ABC0A854 and running gpg --verify on my signed cleartext message gpg --verify my_file.asc An example message can be found at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2015-05/msg00009.html Have a nice day :) Thomas
