PGP Key Setup Guide for Developers

PGP encryption uses a public key to encrypt data and a secret key to decrypt it. The document provides steps to generate a public/private key pair using Kleopatra software and export the keys as files to use for encryption with MuleSoft. Key generation involves providing name, email, passphrase and setting expiry date. The public and private key files are then imported and configured in the Mule encryption connector to enable PGP encryption/decryption of data.
