PGP 101 - Public vs. Private key - Which one do I handle?

PGP 101 - Public vs. Private key - Which one do I handle?

(1)
If I am sending you encrypted data and you are trusting the source, then

-          I generate the public/private key with passphrase

-          I encrypt with my private key

-          You decrypt with the public key

(2)

OR if you want to know who is sending you encrypted file then

-          you generate public/private key pair with passphrase

-          I encrypt with your PUBLIC key

-          You decrypt with your private key
