I'm new to linux and need to encrypt files using public / private keys (GPG).
I generated a key on the server, but when I try to encrypt a file I get an error saying that ID was not found.
I get the following error:
Enter the user ID. End with an empty line: gpg: signal 2 caught ... exiting phdr1569:/informatica/pmuser/Cognizant/script/gpg> gpg -r 9F93F067 -e my-secrets-myname.txt gpg: WARNING: using insecure memory! gpg: please see http://www.gnupg.org/faq.html for more information gpg: 9F93F067: skipped: unusable public key gpg: my-secrets-myname.txt: encryption failed: unusable public key phdr1569:/informatica/pmuser/Cognizant/script/gpg>

(you may use "-r") Current recipients: Enter the user ID. End with an empty line: [email protected] No such user ID.
Could you help me understand what I can do in this case?
