</div>

</div>
<p>Choosing “<span class="quote">Encryption
Menu</span>” from <span class="application">Cone</span>'s
main menu (which is available if <span class="application">GnuPG</span> is installed) opens a menu with the
following selections:</p>
<div class="variablelist">
<dl>
<dt><span class="term">New encryption key</span></dt>
<dd>
<p>This selection creates a pair of public and private
keys, which may be used for signing and encryption. Fill
in the fields on the next screen with the appropriate
information: the name, the E-mail address, and the
comment associated with the keypair; how big the
encryption keys should be (a different length may be
chosen for creating signed content, and for creating
encrypted content); whether the keys have an expiration
date; and the passphrase, or a password, for the private
key. The passphrase must be entered twice, in both
fields, and both fields must match. Leave both passphrase
fields empty to create a private key without a
passphrase.</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">Delete key</span></dt>
<dd>
<p>This selection deletes an existing key. Public and
private keys are deleted separately. All installed keys
are displayed in a vertical list. Highlight a key with
the cursor, and press <span class="keycap"><strong>ENTER</strong></span> to delete it.</p>
<p>The top half of the screen shows detailed information
about the current key that's highlighted by the cursor.
Due to limited amount of available space, keys with more
than one signatures may not have all signatures
shown.</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">Sign key</span></dt>
<dd>
<p>This selection signs an existing public key with one
of the private keys. The public key, and the private key
are selected one at a time. All installed keys are
displayed in a vertical list. Highlight a key with the
cursor, and press <span class="keycap"><strong>ENTER</strong></span> to select it.</p>
<p>The top half of the screen shows detailed information
about the current key that's highlighted by the cursor.
Due to limited amount of available space, keys with more
than one signatures may not have all signatures
shown.</p>
<p>After selecting the public key, and then the private
key, the last prompt asks for the signature's trust
level, which is used by <span class="application">GnuPG</span> to calculate the key's
trustworthiness.</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">Edit key</span></dt>
<dd>
<p>This last selection provides a convenient means for
accessing advanced key management features through the
<span class="application">GnuPG</span> application which
are not directly implemented in <span class="application">Cone</span>. Selecting “<span class="quote">Edit key</span>” shows a list of all
available keys. Highlight an available key with the
cursor, and press <span class="keycap"><strong>ENTER</strong></span>. <span class="application">Cone</span> then runs <span class="application">GnuPG</span> and opens <span class="application">GnuPG</span> key management menu that
provides access to additional key management features,
such as advanced signature and passphrase management.
After <span class="application">GnuPG</span> exits
<span class="application">Cone</span> resumes running
automatically.</p>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p><span class="application">Cone</span> does not run
while <span class="application">GnuPG</span> is
running, and it waits for <span class="application">GnuPG</span> to finish before resuming.
If <span class="application">GnuPG</span> runs for an
extended period of time, <span class="application">Cone</span>'s connections to remote mail
server may be terminated due to inactivity.</p>
