Decrypting PGP-encrypted messages

Decrypting PGP-encrypted messages


Save the PGP-encrypted message as a text file (e.g. abc.txt).

The PGP-encrypted message is usually enclosed within these two placeholders:
  • -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
  • -----END PGP MESSAGE-----
If not, then include them in the text file, at the start and at the end, respectively. This is very important.

Then, run the following command:

    gpg --decrypt abc.txt    

You will be prompted for the GPG passphrase. Enter it.
Upon success, the decrypted message will be printed on the console.
