Actually, I'm using version 1.4.12 and I cannot ensure you with the 
features of 1.0.6-2

Re: GPG W32 1.0.6-2 - PRIVATE KEY IMPORT ISSUE

2012-11-29 Thread Peter Lebbing
 I downloaded GPG W32 1.0.6-2 on a Windows machine.
 I started gpg from the command line and It created C:\gnupg.
 I have GPG running on another windows machine (I think is version 1.0.4) so I
 tried to import my keys.

I'm confused by the version numbers you indicate. They sound like they're
prehistoric, unsupported and simply too old to use.

 import:
 gpg --allow-secret-key-import secdretkey.txt

It should be:

gpg --allow-secret-key-import --import secretkey.txt

You are allowing secret key import, but not actually importing. You're invoking
the default action, which for keys is displaying them, not importing them. So
you need to specify that the wanted action is --import.

Good luck,

Peter.

This is a 11 years old version og GnuPG!  You should not use it at all.
The cuirrent version is 1.4.12 and a simple installer is available at

  ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32cli-1.4.12.exe

 import:
 gpg --allow-secret-key-import secdretkey.txt

--allow-secret-ket-import is only an option but not a command.  Thus gpg
will try to decrypt what is in secdretkey.txt - which is not possible -
it will thus only show you the content of the file.

Use

  gpg --allow-secret-key-import --import secdretkey.txt

but please update to a modern and supported version first (then you
don't need the --allow-secret-key-import anymore).


Shalom-Salam,

   Werner

Paperkey with ECC support

2012-11-29 Thread David Shaw
Hi folks,

I've updated paperkey to work with elliptic curve OpenPGP keys.  I would really 
appreciate it if anyone out there could give this devel version a try (either 
with ECC or regular keys, or ideally both).

Thanks!

David
