Re: GnuPG language setting

Language choice is user specific, however users may start applications with other language setting (cf. envvar LANG). All modern systems (~15 years and more) use sensible defaults and allow switching to other languages. In fact at least on GNU systems you may do this even on a per thread base.

Hello I'm working on asymmetric keys for encryption and decryption of files. I am going to encrypt data on sender PC using receiver's public key and send encrypted data to receiver in order to decrypt it using its private key. I have two PCs (A and B). I created a (public key, private key) on A and sent its public key to B. the public key is attached. Then I tried to encrypt a dir using gpgdir command. But I encountered below error. I'm wondered why gpg is looking for A's private key? Whenever we don’t want B knows the private key? How can I fix it? # gpgdir --verbose -K el_ghas...@yahoo.com -e /home/yousefi/Desktop/a [+] import_perl_modules(): The @INC array: /usr/local/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .

Using output from gpg --list-packets on a key to get the mpi values to generate s-expressions
Hey guys, I am trying to use gpg generated public keys to do encryption using libgcrypt. I used the list packets command on the key to get me the contents of the key and parsed the mpi values into an s-expression. So when I try to encode my session key with my public key I get the error Odd hexadecimal numbers in S-expression? I think list packets is maybe giving me hex numbers without the leading zero? If so what do I need to do to get me mpi values that I can use in libgcrypt? Thanks in advance, Foo ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
