[aklug] Using gpg to encrypt files

I was talking with someone the other day and we got on the topic of
encrypting personal files.

Although I've done this myself, I wanted to find something that would
be useful to others in getting it done for the first time.

I ran across this link: https://kb.iu.edu/d/awio

This is a simplified version of how to use the gpg tool to start
encrypting individual files.

In order for the key to be generated, I did have to have a video
playing during the key generation phase in order to generate enough
entropy.

I'm sure there are other ways as well.

Hope you find this useful.
