Simplified GPG encryption using golang

Generating GPG keys

1. List all available keys

   gpg --list-keys
   

2. Create a new key The adviced configuration is:

   Question	Answer
   kind of key	(1) RSA and RSA (default)
   keysize	4096
   *validity	0 = key does not expire (for staging)

   *validity should be specified for production.

   gpg --full-generate-key
   

3. Export the keys

   gpg --armor --output <uid>.gpg.pub --export <uid>
   gpg --armor --output <uid>.gpg.pvt --export-secret-keys <uid>
