1082 is fine, it's the build number. > I've tried uploading my keys via GPG Keychain but found it strange > as I don't see my public key in there, only the secret one.

I have just tried the command Key/Send to Keyserver (or cmd+shift+K) but it does not *seem* to be doing anything. I believe that it should automatically upload only the public key, and show some confirmation that it has been uploaded. Perhaps it did upload your key. I apologize for having misled you by pointing to an option that I had not checked previously. As a matter of fact I almost don't use GPG Keychain Access. Before you proceed, please have a look at the keys I have found, searching with Antonio Gantus Filho: $ gpg --search-keys Antonio Gantus Filho gpg: searching for "Antonio Gantus Filho" from hkp server sks-keyservers.net (1) Antonio Gantus Filho <[email protected]> 4096 bit RSA key 7DD00EBA, created: 2011-01-21 (2) Antonio Gantus Filho <[email protected]> 4096 bit RSA key 7AFA9995, created: 2011-01-21 (3) Antonio Gantus Filho <[email protected]> 1024 bit DSA key 34C25074, created: 2004-07-02 (4) Antonio Gantus Filho <[email protected]> 1024 bit DSA key 34D56C46, created: 2004-04-13 (5) Antonio Gantus Filho <[email protected]> 1024 bit DSA key DFDD5AD6, created: 2004-04-12 (6) Antonio Gantus Filho <[email protected]> 1024 bit DSA key 1592A1B7, created: 2003-10-25 If the keys you want to upload are already listed above, then you are done. But please read on, for information. > How do I segregate/separate my public key from my private key? It > can be either via GPG Keychain or Terminal. In Terminal: This is an example, please read till the end :-) $ gpg --keyserver sks-keyservers.net --send-key 7DD00EBA where 7DD00EBA is the Key ID of your public key that is already in the keyservers. Therefore you should substitute 7DD00EBA with the key ID of your other key. The Key ID is the last eight characters of the key's finger print. > I thank you in advance as you surely have experience whereas I have > none.
