GnuPG encrypts messages using asymmetric keypairs individually generated by GnuPG users. The resulting public keys can be exchanged with other users in a variety of ways, such as Internet key servers. They must always be exchanged carefully to prevent identity spoofing by corrupting public key ↔ ‘owner’ identity correspondences. It is also possible to add a cryptographic digital signature to a message, so the message integrity and sender can be verified, if a particular correspondence relied upon has not been corrupted.

If an attacker somehow compromises your site and removes the plugin’s audit logs from your server, they can be recovered from our server for investigation. To generate the API key for the Sucuri plugin.
- pub : Public key
- 1024D : The number of bits in the key
- CA7A8402 : The key ID
- 2007-02-10 : The date of key creation
- Vivek Gite : The user real name
- <[email protected]> : The email id
Most important is the key ID i.e. CA7A8402. Make sure you use powerful passphrase to protect keys and not the easy one.
