How to create a fullstack application using Django and Python Part 20
Maria D. Campbell
In this section, I re-organize the accounts and boards tests content, refactor password reset-related django_boards/urls.py, fix the password reset-related accounts tests failures, add the password_change URL to templates/base.html, fix the 302 redirect-related failure in the boards.tests.test_view_reply_topic_tests, and add the reply_topic URL to templates/topic_posts.html.

How to create a fullstack application using Django and Python Part 18
Maria D. Campbell
In this section, I create the password_reset routes, views, tests, and templates. The results of the password reset process are output to the Terminal console. I debug the password_reset_confirm_tests tests to find out what the actual csrf token is and hard code it into the test_csrf (function) test. I re-use the Beautiful Soup 4 and Soup Sieve packages to refactor the test_form_inputs (function) test.

In this section, I discuss how to install the python-dotenv package and why it is crucial to do so as to safeguard sensitive information the Django application depends on.

Sending encrypted emails and decrypting received emails using GnuPG
Maria D. Campbell
In this piece, I demonstrate three ways to verify the decrypted content sent to and received from a user on a local network using the Mutt email client.

Setting up and using the Mutt email client in Linux
Maria D. Campbell
In this post, I set up and use the Mutt email client in Linux. It allows me to send and receive email attachments (and other powerful features) which I can save locally.

Using a specific PGP key pair for digital signing
Maria D. Campbell
In this post, I demonstrate and describe what "Digital signing a file using a specific key" means.

Making and verifying a cleartext digital signature using a PGP key pair in Linux
Maria D. Campbell
In this post, I describe how to create and verify a cleartext signature using a PGP key pair. I also show how to create a detached signature and when I would want to use it over a cleartext signature.
#asymmetric encryption, #cleartext signature, #gpg, #linux, #pgp, #pgp key pair, #security, #series, #verification
Making and verifying a detached signature using a PGP key pair in Linux
Maria D. Campbell
In this post, I show how I create a detached digital signature and verify it. Then I compare it to a complete digital signature. And finally, I introduce the cleartext digital signature, and how it differs both from the complete and detached digital signatures.

Making and verifying digital signatures using GPG in Linux
Maria D. Campbell
In this article, I discuss what a digital signature is, which should be used (PGP or PKI), and how to create, edit, list, and delete a PGP public key uid. I also describe how to create a revocation certificate for a PGP key pair.

Encrypting and Decrypting Files and Strings

In this post, I show how to encrypt and decrypt files with a Python encryption/decryption application using the Python Fernet symmetric encryption method and via Command Line using GnuPG.
