How to Import a PGP Key for a Mac OS X
One of the features of PGP Desktop is full desktop integration, allowing for a seamless and relatively transparent encryption interface behind much of your computer's communication and storage channels. This integration makes the importing of PGP key files, or .ASC files as they are usually marked, a simple task. Once imported, PGP keys can be used to encrypt, and sign files and messages on your system.
