PGP

PGP is the world's most widely used encryption tool, and extremely easy to use. All it takes to decrypt an order securely delivered over the Internet to you is clicking on one button in your compatible email program, such as Eudora or Outlook.
Here you learn where to get PGP, what it is, and how to register your PGP key with our server for totally secure ordering.




PGP Key ID
 

The Company Details Wizard allows you to enter a Public PGP Key ID to use PGP encryption with ShopFactory shops if you do NOT use a realtime payment service provider.

Your key must be registered with the server you are using to enable PGP encryption. To use 3Dcubed's server for order transfer, you must register your public key with 3Dcubed at http://www.3d3.com/.
We highly recommend PGP if you do NOT use a realtime payment service provider.




How to create a PGP key and register it with our server
 

The following steps explain how to quickly generate a key with PGP and register it with our server.

When starting PGP 6 you will automatically be asked to generate a key pair - simply use the defaults suggested by PGP.
Once this is done, your key is listed in the PGP keys list.
The listing you see, could be for example John Doe <john@doe.com>
This is your user ID for the key.

Select the payment method Free SSL with PGP via the Properties button, and enter the Key ID when asked for it

Now open your web browser and go to http://www.shopfactory.com. Follow the link to PGP.
On the PGP page go to the text entry box at the bottom, which allows you to register your public key with our server.

Now switch back to the PGP keys program, where your key is listed.
Locate your User ID in bold, i.e. in our example you would look for
John Doe <john@doe.com>
Click on the listing with your RIGHT mouse button.
A menu opens.
Select Copy.

Switch back to your browser.
Click on the text entry box in the browser with your RIGHT mouse button. A small menu opens.
Select Paste.
Now your public key will be listed in the window, looking something like this:
