I love Qubes! Kudus to those developing and helping on this forum...I am sure others would agree that the effort is greatly appreciated.
I am hoping I can get some help with "split-GPG" setup and signing emails. Some notes and questions about my configuration: * I plan to use Thunderbird. * I have since created a new vault from default during installation - I have some files in this vault, documents, some passwords...I consider this non-networked VM my "vault", although I am just getting into certificates for email signing and email encryption. - Should I use this VM for my certificates(or a dedicated certificate VM) or is it a big no? * I found a good tutorial on creating certificates using GnuPG with QubesOS: https://apapadop.wordpress.com/2013/08/21/using-gnupg-with-qubesos/ ( a little dated but did create test certificates...thanks Apapadop!) * I followed the steps in this Qubes-OS wiki: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/split-gpg/ , however I get lost here: Setting up the GPG backend domain Make sure the gpg is installed there and there are some private keys in the keyring, e.g.: [user@work-gpg ~]$ gpg -K /home/user/.gnupg/secring.gpg ----------------------------- sec 4096R/3F48CB21 2012-11-15 uid Qubes OS Security Team <secur...@qubes-os.org> ssb 4096R/30498E2A 2012-11-15 (...) How do I create this file: /home/user/.gnupg/secring.gpg ? Where do I keep my certificates in the "vault"? What commands or folders do I need to create? I tried finding more basic instructions but my "Googling" had no luck...how do I put private keys in my "vault" keyring and use Thunderbird in a seperate, dedicated VM to sign and encrypt my emails utilizing split GPG? Excuse me if this has already been answered or clarified in another post I couldn't find.
