Probably the first step of using EasyPG Assistant is to browse your
keyring. @kbd{M-x epa-list-keys} is corresponding to @samp{gpg
--list-keys} from the command line.

@end example
-To browse your private keyring, use @kbd{M-x epa-list-secret-keys}.
-
-@deffn Command epa-list-secret-keys name
-Show all keys matched with @var{name} from the private keyring.
-@end deffn
-
A character on the leftmost column indicates the trust level of the
key. If it is @samp{u}, the key is marked as ultimately trusted. The
second column is the key ID, and the rest is the user ID.

+@end deffn

In @samp{*Keys*} buffer, several commands are available. The common
use case is to export some keys to a file. To do that, type @kbd{m}
to select keys, type @kbd{o}, and then supply the filename.
+Below are other commands related to key management. Some of them take
+a file as input/output, and others take the current region.
+
+@deffn Command epa-insert-keys keys
+Insert selected @var{keys} after the point. It will let you select
+keys before insertion. By default, it will encode keys in the OpenPGP
+armor format.
+@end deffn
+
+@deffn Command epa-import-keys file
+Import keys from @var{file} to your keyring.
+@end deffn
+
+@deffn Command epa-import-keys-region start end
+Import keys from the current region between @var{start} and @var{end}
+to your keyring.
+@end deffn
+
+@deffn Command epa-import-armor-in-region start end
+Import keys in the OpenPGP armor format in the current region between
+@var{start} and @var{end}. The difference from
+@code{epa-import-keys-region} is that
+@code{epa-import-armor-in-region} searches armors in the region and
+applies @code{epa-import-keys-region} to each of them.
+@end deffn
+
+@deffn Command epa-delete-keys allow-secret
+Delete selected keys. If @var{allow-secret} is non-@code{nil}, it
+also delete the secret keys.
+@end deffn

@section Cryptographic operations on regions
@deffn Command epa-decrypt-armor-in-region start end
Decrypt OpenPGP armors in the current region between @var{start} and
@var{end}. The difference from @code{epa-decrypt-region} is that
-@code{epa-decrypt-armor-in-region} searches ASCII armors in the region
+@code{epa-decrypt-armor-in-region} searches armors in the region
and applies @code{epa-decrypt-region} to each of them. That is, this
-command does not alter the original text around ASCII armors.

@deffn Command epa-verify-region start end
@deffn Command epa-sign-region start end signers type
Sign the current region between @var{start} and @var{end}. By
default, it creates a cleartext signature. If a prefix argument is
-given, it will let you to select signing keys, and then a signature

@deffn Command epa-encrypt-region start end recipients sign signers
Encrypt the current region between @var{start} and @var{end}. It will
-let you to select recipients. If a prefix argument is given, it will
+let you select recipients. If a prefix argument is given, it will
also ask you whether or not to sign the plaintext before encryption

@node Dired integration
@section Dired integration
+
+EasyPG Assistant extends Dired Mode for GNU Emacs to allow users to
+easily do cryptographic operations on files. The following keys are
+assigned.
+
+@table @kbd
+@item C-c
+@kindex @kbd{: d}
+@findex epa-dired-do-decrypt
+Decrypt marked files.
+
+@item : v
+@kindex @kbd{: v}
+@findex epa-dired-do-verify
+Verify marked files.
+
+@item : s
+@kindex @kbd{: s}
+@findex epa-dired-do-sign
+Sign marked files.
+
+@item : e
+@kindex @kbd{: e}
+@findex epa-dired-do-encrypt
+Encrypt marked files.
+
+@end table
+
+@node Mail-mode integration
+@section Mail-mode integration
+
+EasyPG Assistant provides a minor mode to help composing clearsigned
+or OpenPGP armored encrypted mails. The following keys are assigned.

@node Encrypting/decrypting *.gpg files
Enable automatic encryption/decryption of *.gpg files.

-@code{epa-file} will let you to select recipients. If you want to

+@code{epa-file} will let you select recipients. If you want to
+suppress this question, it might be a good idea to put the following
line on the first line of the plaintext.
+@vindex epa-file-encrypt-to
@lisp
;; -*- epa-file-encrypt-to: ("ueno@@unixuser.org") -*-
@end lisp
+Other variables which control the automatic encryption/decryption
+behavior are below.
+
+@defvar epa-file-cache-passphrase-for-symmetric-encryption
+If non-@code{nil}, cache passphrase for symmetric encryption. The
+default value is @code{nil}.
+@end defvar
+
+@defvar epa-file-inhibit-auto-save
+If non-@code{nil}, disable auto-saving when opening an encrypted file.
+The default value is @code{t}.
