Why PGP is Essential

Encrypted Messages

Only the intended recipient can read your messages - not TorZon, not hackers

Identity Verification

Verify you are communicating with the real vendor using signatures

2FA Security

PGP-based two-factor authentication protects your TorZon account

Windows Guide (Kleopatra)

Download Gpg4win

Download Gpg4win from the official website (gpg4win.org). This includes Kleopatra, the graphical interface for managing PGP keys.

Verify the download using the provided SHA256 checksum

Generate New Key Pair

Open Kleopatra and click "New Key Pair". Select "Create a personal OpenPGP key pair".

Enter a pseudonym (NOT your real name)
Use a disposable email or leave blank
Click "Advanced Settings" - select RSA 4096-bit
Create a STRONG passphrase (20+ characters)

Export Your Public Key

Right-click your key in Kleopatra and select "Export". Save or copy the ASCII armored public key.

-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

mQINBF2... (your key data here)
-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

Add Key to TorZon Profile

Log into TorZon Market, go to Profile Settings, and paste your public key in the PGP key field. Save your settings.

Encrypt a Message

To encrypt a message to a vendor:

Import the vendor's public key into Kleopatra
Open Notepad and type your message
In Kleopatra, go to Tools > Clipboard > Encrypt
