Phase 4: Communication Encryption

PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is mandatory for using the torzon darknet market. You must use it to encrypt your shipping address and to enable 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication).

Generating a Key Pair

On Windows use Kleopatra (Gpg4win). On Tails, click the clipboard icon at the top right -> Manage Keys.
Create a new Key Pair. Use RSA 4096-bit. Do not set an expiration date if you plan to keep the account long-term.

How to Encrypt an Address

When ordering from a torzon shop, never send your address in plain text.

  1. Go to the Vendor's profile page on Torzon.
  2. Copy their Public PGP Key block.
  3. Import it into your PGP software (Kleopatra).
  4. Write your address in a text editor (Notepad). Copy it.
  5. Click the PGP icon -> "Sign/Encrypt Clipboard".
  6. Select the Vendor's key as the recipient.
  7. Paste the resulting "BEGIN PGP MESSAGE" block into the order form.

2FA Login Setup

We highly recommend enabling PGP 2FA in your torzon market account settings. Even if a hacker steals your password, they cannot login without your private PGP key to decrypt the challenge message.
