how to send message and mdpc code

[skyup259]

sir, i have done key generation by using given command: ccr -g sig --name "John Doe" # your signature key ccr -g enc --name "John Doe" # your encryption key but i didn't understand how to send message to anyone(i saw the example command but didn't understand)

also, i saw in pull request that mdpc code is given.can we implement mdpc code in codecrypt?

MDPC is already implemented and default for the encryption in the last release.

Codecrypt works exactly like GnuPG with the messages: it doesn't actually send the messages, just takes your data and creates the encrypted/signed version of them that you can send to others via standard insecure means (mail/file transfer).

Just to summarize it up:

• first, this is a good read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography
• you make a file containing your supersecret message, call it msg.txt
• you run ccr -k to see what other people's pubkeys you have (if you have an encryption pubkey, starting with "E", you can send the corresponding person a secret message). Say you have a friend's pubkey called "Timmy"
• you run ccr -e -r "Timmy" < msg.txt > encrypted_msg.txt.ccr. The options mean "Encrypt for Recipient with name 'Timmy'".
• You send the encrypted_msg.txt.ccr to Timmy using some standard means, e.g. a plain unencrypted e-mail. You're pretty sure that enemy can't read that, unless they have pwned Timmy and own his private key.
• Timmy does ccr -d < encrypted_msg.txt.ccr. That finds his private key in his keyring and outputs exactly the content of original msg.txt.

For testing, you can also pretend you're Timmy to save bandwidth.

Also, for questions, please do not open issues -- ask on IRC or on some forums.
