@subsection Decrypt/Verify Data from the Clipboard |
| 266 |
|
The most common case is propably that you got a signed email and |
| 267 |
|
now you want to verify it. For this procedure, you have to copy |
| 268 |
|
the entire signature in the clipboard. The easiest way is to |
| 269 |
|
use CTRL+A and CTRL+C, then all available text will be copied. |
| 270 |
|
WinPT (GnuPG) is smart enough to figure out the signature related |
| 271 |
|
data. Now go to the taskbar, display the popup menu and select |
| 272 |
|
Clipboard->Decrypt/Verify. Now a new dialog, the verify dialog, |
| 273 |
|
should be available on screen with all information about the |
| 274 |
|
signature. For example who is the signer, when was it signed |
| 275 |
|
how much do you try this key and what was signed and most |
| 276 |
|
important, the status of it (is the signature good or BAD). |
| 277 |
|
A special case is when you don't have the public key to verify |
| 278 |
|
the signature, if this happens WinPT offers to download the key |
| 279 |
|
from the default keyserver. If the key was not found, the procedure |
| 280 |
|
is aborted because without the key the sig cannot bed checked. |

@subsection Sign the Clipboard |
@subsection Sign the Clipboard |
| 283 |
|
We assume that text that shall be signed is already in the |
| 284 |
|
clipboard. If not, select the text you want to sign and copy |
| 285 |
|
with via CTRL+C in the clipboard. Now go to the taskbar and |
| 286 |
|
open the peopup menu, Clipboard->Sign. If you just have one |
| 287 |
|
secret key, the passphrase dialog will be automatically shown. |
| 288 |
|
All you need is to enter your passphrase and confirm. In case |
| 289 |
|
of more available secret keys, a list with all keys is shown |
| 290 |
|
and you can select which key shall be used for signing. |
| 291 |
|
The output is always a cleartext signature which is in text |
| 292 |
|
format. Do not try to sign binary clipboard data, the result |
| 293 |
|
would be unpredictable and not readable by human beings. |

@section The Current Window Support |
| 296 |
|
Compared to the clipboard mode, the CWS mode has some advantages. |
| 297 |
|
Let us assume that you want to extract text from an editor window. |
| 298 |
|
With the CWS mode, the program automatically tries to focus the |
| 299 |
|
window to select the text and to copy it to the clipboard and |
| 300 |
|
execute the selected command (Sign, Encrypt, Decrypt). |
| 301 |
|
No manual user interaction is needed. Except this different behaviour, |
| 302 |
|
it is very likewise to the clipboard mode and thus we do not describe |
| 303 |
|
each command again. |
