RSA Keys, and how to use them to create a .asc file

  • 1.  RSA Keys, and how to use them to create a .asc file

    Posted Feb 16, 2016 08:19 AM

    I have been sent an rsa key (just text in an email) and I need to know how to import this key with PGP Command line.  Can anyone help? Normally, the vendor sends me a .asc file and I just run the import command but this vendor did not send it that way...  Just sent the text of the key in an email.  The vendor says the key was generated using “ssh-keygen -t rsa” command.   Any ideas? I'm relatively new to PGP and encryption.

    The text is similar to this...
