I never needed to use pgp till now.
So I'm not sure where to start.
Is security/gnupg the way to go?
Any other advice?

Thanks
Anton

You might like to look at:

http://www.cyberdelix.net/tech/bsd-gpg.htm

as a start.  Its got a list of related artcles with the page that
might give you some other directions in which to look.

The gnupg-users mailing list MIGHT be able to give you more
FreeBSD-specific help, but I must confess I have not seen any FreeBSD
specific answers or questions for a long time. Anyway, here is the URL
for the mailing list(s):

security/gnupg + security/pinentry is the way to go.

I wonder if pinentry should be made a required port
for gnupg. This is because gpg2 --gen-keys refuses
to run unless pinentry is installed. Perhaps this
is up the maintaniner, but to me this sounds like
a requirement.

Consider the use of security/pinentry for entering passphrases.

I discovered already that gnupg doesn't really work without it.
At least I cannot generate keys without it.

is a good place to get started.

You want the gnupg port, yes.

Answering my own question, this guide

level for a novice (me):

security/gnupg + security/pinentry is the way to go.
Additionally, if you use this for E-Mail, consider
using thunderbird with the enigmail add-on. Works
great.
