|

Encryption protects a file so that only the intended recipient can
|
||||
read it. Decryption restores the original file using your private key.

Create a test file:
|
||||
|

echo "This is a test file for gpg training." > file.txt

### Encrypt File
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
gpg -d file.txt.gpg
|
||||
```
|
||||
Encrypt a file for a specific recipient. Replace RECIPIENT with the
|
||||
recipient email or key ID. This command also signs it (`-s`) and
|
||||
encrypts the output as plain ASCII (`--armor`).
|
||||
|
||||
gpg --armor -e -s -r RECIPIENT file.txt
|
||||
|
||||
This creates:
|
||||
|
||||
file.txt.asc

Decrypt a file that was encrypted to you.
|
||||
|

gpg -d file.txt.asc > decrypted.txt
