# PGP
To use GnuPG, simply set the following in `aerc.conf`. Unless if you want to
tinker with the internal implementation, **it is highly recommended that you
use gpg or similar external implementations.**
```conf
[general]
pgp-provider=gpg
```
When the above configuration option is unset or set to `internal`,
aerc uses an internal OpenPGP implementation.
> At the moment internal PGP support is still in it's early stages and will
> likely change as time goes on. Tickets relating to this can be found in
> ~sircmpwn's tracker: [#353](https://todo.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/aerc2/353)
> [#354](https://todo.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/aerc2/354)

**Please be aware:** at the moment internal PGP support requires you to export
your private keys. Please ensure that your home directory is protected against
unauthorised access.
To create a PGP-Keyring and fill it with your keys from GPG, you can run the
following commands:
```shell
gpg --export >> ~/.local/share/aerc/keyring.asc
gpg --export-secret-keys >> ~/.local/share/aerc/keyring.asc
```
