Vendor Keys
Each seller publishes their own distinct PGP public key directly on their vendor profile page. During checkout, the shipping address field encrypts automatically using the vendor's specific key rather than yours. Download the key file or copy the ASCII armor format when preparing to communicate securely with a seller. Always encrypt messages addressed to vendors using their published key, never your own personal key, to ensure privacy for the recipient.
Client Side vs Server Side
The integrated server-side tool handles encryption inside your web browser interface, which offers convenience but passes plaintext data across the network. Using client-side software like Kleopatra or GPG keeps the decryption process entirely on your local machine, preventing raw text from ever leaving your device. Client-side tools deserve the preference whenever possible because the threat models differ significantly between the two methods. Use the server-side tool only if installing dedicated cryptography software feels excessive for your workflow.
Practical Routine
Import the relevant public keys into your local OpenPGP application and note the fingerprints carefully. Encrypt your message body and attachments before hitting send to protect the content during transit. Verify the digital signature attached to official market announcements regularly to confirm authenticity. Stop trusting a message instantly if the fingerprint does not match the recorded value from your previous checks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Anubis Market PGP key?
It is the cryptographic identifier used to authenticate communications from the market operators and vendors. Public versions allow users to encrypt data and verify signatures, while private versions held by staff handle decryption and signing tasks.
Do I need my own PGP key to buy on Anubis Market?
No, purchasing goods requires only the ability to decrypt incoming messages, which works fine with just importing the vendor's public key. However, maintaining your own key pair improves security when sending replies that contain sensitive details like tracking numbers or contact info.
Can I use the built in PGP tool instead of GPG?
Yes, the browser-based utility functions correctly for basic encryption needs. Keep in mind that server-side processing exposes more surface area compared to fully offline client-side encryption, so prefer desktop applications if you handle high-value transactions frequently.
