Decryption problem - Large .png file

2014-02-16 Thread Charly Avital
Hi,

I have received from a friend a very large file in txt. that I have been
so far unable to decrypt:

[serial number].png.asc.txt. Size is 36.1 MB and it is supposed to be
the encryption of a 600 DPI color file.
Sender is running GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux).
Because of the size of the file, sender has used Dropbox, and I received
it via my Dropbox.
I have tried to decrypt it using Terminal/CLI, with -d and -a options.
The output was gibberish, with bell sounds now and then.
After typing in Terminal gpg [return], I get the prompt go ahead and
type your message. I copied/pasted the ASCII text, and at the end I
got: gpg: CRC error; E9433F - B65688, instead of the expected
information about the keys the file had been encrypted to. Googling CRC
error etc., didn't bring several examples from this list (and others)
but nothing that I could use.
Sender is positive about having used my public key to encrypt the file.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Re: What is the latest version

 I am running enigmail 1.5.2 .   Is this old?  How can I get the
 latest?  Thanks!

According to the raw source of your message, you are running:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101
 Thunderbird/24.2.0
and
X-Enigmail-Version: 1.5.2 (which you already indicated in your post).

It seems that this combination is part of the Linux distro you are running.

You might update to Enigmail 1.6 by downloading the appropriate release
from https://www.enigmail.net/download/index.php and proceed according
to the instructions.

I think your query might be best answered in Enigmail User's list.

Re: Renewing expiring key - done correctly?

2013-12-04 Thread Charly Avital
Eric Poellinger wrote on 12/3/13, 6:22 PM:
 This is the key before issuing the 'expire' command:
 
 pub  2048R/4A4DBDC7  created: 2012-01-13  expires: 2014-01-12  usage: SC
  trust: ultimate  validity: ultimate
 sub  2048R/0C0305EC  created: 2012-01-13  expires: 2014-01-12  usage: E
 
 
 I did a 2 year expiration and the master key (4A4DBDC7 ) was updated as
 expected (to 2015-12-03)
 
 PRIMARY QUESTIONS - I am uncertain about the sub-key.  When I attempt to
 'expire' it the date does not seem to change.  Maybe you cannot expire a
 sub-key?  Maybe I do not need to care because we are not using it in our
 encryption commands??  FYI, this key is only with one trading partner,
 so managing the change is not difficult.

I had the same problem a short time ago, and solved it with the help of
a friend, and this is what I did in MacOSX's Terminal

$ gpg edit-key [key ID]
[..]
Secret key is available,

pub 2048R/[key ID] created: [..] expires: [..]  usage: SC
   trust: ultimate validity: ultimate
sub 2048R/[sub-key ID] created: [..] expires: [..]  usage: E

Then:

 key 1 expire
pub  2048R/[key ID] created: [..] expires: [..]  usage: SC
trust: ultimate validity: ultimate
sub*  2048R/[sub-key ID]  created: [..] expires: [..] usage: E

[note the asterisk after sub, that indicates that this is the key which
has been selected for expiry]

then again:
expiry
I got:
Changing expiration time for a subkey.
Please specify how long the key should be valid.
 0 = key does not expire
  n  = key expires in n days
  nw = key expires in n weeks
  nm = key expires in n months
  ny = key expires in n years

Hope this helps.
I don't know whether you can use this method in your system.
You seem to be using web-mail with html format.

  Hi, I am a new GPG user.  (New to the command line, that is.)  I know
 that if you type gpg without any arguments in a command line it starts
 a primitive sort of text editor where you can type a message that you
 later encrypt, sign, etc.   How do you tell the text editor when you are
 done with the message?  I have actually been flipping madly through the
 GPG documentation; I am not sure this is scenario is exactly covered.
  Can someone point me in the right direction?  Using GPG Tools on Mac OS
 10.9 and just trying to get more command line fluent.
 
  
 
 Thank you for your help.

Mike,
after I type gpg without arguments I get:
gpg: Go ahead and type your message ...

and when I type immediately after ControlC, I get:
^C
gpg: Interrupt caught ... exiting


I'm not sure this answers your query.

2. cd to expanded source code.
3. ./configure
4. make

Hi,

Following my post of August 1/2012, I could compile GnuPG 2.0.19 under
Mac OS 10.8 (Mountain Lion, Darwin x86_64-apple-darwin12.0.0) using a
script written by Ludwig Hügelschäfer, based upon a script written by
Alex Willner, and with a Mac-native pinentry-mac.app written by Ben
Donnachie in cooperation with GPGtools.org.

S/MIME = Secure Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions is a standard for
public key encryption and signing of e-mail encapsulated in MIME.

It achieves goals that are similar to GnuPG's but uses different means.

The use of GnuPG requires the installation of GnuPG software, and some
kind of module that will enable interaction between that software and
the e-mail client one is using. GnuPG per se enables its user to
generate and manage certificates (aka keys).

S/MIME does not require the installation of any such software but needs
to obtain and install a certificate/key that is issued by a Certificate
Authority (CA). The certificate that is issued by the CA of your choice
has to be imported into your e-mail client (if it has S/MIME capability)
or into your browser.

You might try http://www.comodo.com.

I am sure members of this list will provide more accurate information.

 Also, if there are any questions you feel are missing, throw them out

Section 4.7 How do I validate another person’s certificate? does not
deal with what one should do once she/he has signed another person's
certificate (after completing the validation process).

I believe the etiquette is that the signed key block should be returned
to the certificate's owner, for her/him to do what he/she deems
convenient, e.g. upload it to a keyserver.

The signer himself/herself should not upload the sign key block to a key
server, or publish it in any other way, without the certificate's owner
explicit authorization or request.

That may be hair splitting and not etiquette, but I believe the issue
should be clarified. I have had at least two of my certificates signed
by someone with whom I had never gone through any kind of validation
process, or even discussed the possibility of such a process. The person
just signed my certificate and uploaded it to a keyserver.

End of rant.

 I'm using gpg-agent to cache my passphrase.
 
 I get asked for my passphrase (pinentry screen) once for the
 encryption key, and then again, for the signing key.


You are asked for your passphrase once for *decrypting* an e-mail that
has been encrypted using your public key; and then once again to sign an
e-mail. In other words, when you need to use your secret key.

 Can I instruct the agent to give the passphrase for any subkey? Given
 that they're both subkeys, the passphrases are the same.

gpg-agent *caches* your passphrase (in encrypted form) for each of the
two operations described above.

The passphrase remains cached (you are not requested to type it again)
for the value in seconds set in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf - You can edit
that file (gpg-agent.conf) with a suitable text editor (like TextEdit
that is a part of MacOSX, or with BBEdit light (freeware).

 Perhaps I explained poorly.

You explained very clearly.

 I'm using gpg 1.4.11, gpg-agent 2.0.17.

You can have, as I do, both 1.4.11 and 2.0.17 installed side by side in
the same system.
You can use either one, as set in the path of your e=mail application.
You are using a @gmail.com based user ID, and the raw source of your
e-mail does not display which MUA you are using.

I am using Shredder, which is a trunk release of Thunderbird, where the
path, as displayed in OpenPGP/Preferences, is
/usr/local/MacGPG2/bin/gpg2. Thus I am using gpg2, in this case
MacGPG2-2.0.17-9

If instead I had set /usr/local/MacGPG2/bin/gpg , I would be using gpg,
that would be gpg 1.4.11

If you are using Apple's Mail application (under 10.6.8), it will chose
gpg2 by default. Under Lion, the Mailbundle for Apple's Mail application
does not work, it is being rewritten by a group of developers.
 
 Is it possible to enter a passphrase using gpg-agent, and have it cached such
 that it's used whenever I want to use any subkeys from the same main key?
 
 Scenario:
 
 I sign a file with my signing subkey, and give gpg-agent my passphrase.
 
 I then decrypt another file, which has been encrypted using my encryption key,
 which is a sister subkey to the signing key (i.e., they both have the same
 parent 'main key'). Is it possible to not be prompted for my passphrase again
 for this operation?
 
 I understand that they're separate keys, so I'm being prompted twice, but they
 are both belonging to the same primary key: can that passphrase apply to all
 subkeys when entered for any one?
 
 I hope that clarifies what I want to do...

Maybe *I* wasn't clear enough.

gpg-agent goes by *actions*:  decrypt, or sign.

gpg-agent is invoked whenever you use your secret key, either for
decrypting or for signing.

As far as gpg-agent is concerned, those are two different *actions*.

When your passphrase has been cached for each of those *actions*, it
will remain in gpg-agent's memory for the duration of the cache set in
your home directory ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf

 I have a friend whose gpg key became corrupt.  He created a new key, and I 
 imported it.  Then we discovered that KMail insists on trying to encrypt 
 using 
 the old key, even though I have changed his addressbook entry to reflect the 
 new key.
 
 At this point we thought it was a KMail issue, so I moved to Thunderbird for 
 answering his mail.  Signed mail in both directions is no problem.

That's normal.
You are verifying your friend's signature with the new public key he
created and that you imported.
Your friend is verifying your signature with your public key that is
valid and in use.

 He can 
 send an encrypted message and I can read it.  The new key is fine.

When your friend encrypts a message to you, he is using your existing
public key. This has nothing to do with your friend's new key.

 However, 
 when I send an encrypted message to him we hit the rocks.
 
 In Thunderbird I have only a minimal addressbook.  I set his record to use 
 the 
 new key for encryption, and I can't see any way that Thunderbird should know 
 about the old key.  However, the test email I sent him was signed by the RSA 
 subkey of his old key.

I can't remember how KMail sets the usage of keys. I'm a Mac user, but I
have dabbled occasionally in Linux and some of KMail.

In Thunderbird, key usage is set in 'Per Recipient rules', that is not
the Address Book.
 
 Can someone please explain to me how this could be happening, and what I need 
 to do to correct it?  Should I remove his old key from my keyring?  If I do, 
 I 
 assume that I won't be able to read his older messages.


You don't have to remove his old public key from your keyring.

You have to edit Per Recipient Rules so that your friend's new public
key (in your public keyring) is linked to his User ID (e-mail address),
and used to encrypt to him.

In Thunderbird's menu please go to OpenPGP/Edit Per-Recipient Rules,
that will launch the Per-Recipient Rules Editor. Use the search field
to search for the entry that corresponds to your friend's user ID (his
e-mail address) or choose it manually at your convenience, click
'Modify' and make the necessary adjustments to choose your friend's new
public key as the key that will be used to encrypt to him.

User-Agent: KMail/1.13.7 (Linux/2.6.35.13-91.fc14.i686.PAE; KDE/4.6.3;

GnuPG  normally  does  not select and use subkeys created in the

 I am writing application in which I need to know if a GnuPG encrypted message 
 was sent to me.  It seems that whenever you list the recipients of a message 
 it will list every recipient but you -- even if you're one of them.  Surely 
 there's a way to reveal whether or not you're one of those recipients...?
 
 Regards,
 
 Michael

You can try this, but I don't know how to integrate it into your
application:

- launch Terminal and type gpg. This will output:
gpg: Go ahead and type your message ...

- copy/page the encrypted message. If it was encrypted to your public
key, your will be prompted to enter your passphrase. After you enter it,
the output will display to which user IDs and public keys the message
was encrypted, like:
-
You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: Charly Avital shavi...@mac.com
4096-bit RSA key, ID 02345678, created 2011-03-26 (main key ID ABCDEF1)

[and after you type in the passphrase]:

gpg: encrypted with [the second recipient's key]
  [the second recipient's user ID]
gpg: encrypted with 4096-bit RSA key, ID 02345678, created 2011-03-26

An an aside, and this is really off-topic, burning trash instead of

 From our point of view the issue lies in the TextWrangler code since it

The user insightfulmac julioes...@gmail.com
who originated the request in the gnupg-users list (How to open Windows
GPG encrypted files on MacOSX), solved his problem using TextWrangler:

 After reviewing all answers, I have solved my problem! As Charly correctly
 pointed out, there is a slightly difference between TXT files from Mac OS X
 and Windows (basically Windows end-of-line is /R/F and Mac is /F)... As a
 newbie in Mac OS X, I didn't know that...
 
 The solution was to convert the Windows TXT file to the Mac OS X TXT
 format. Then, GPGServices worked perfectly!
 
 By the way: GPGServices is a very elegant solution! Better and simpler than
 all frontends I have used in order to decrypt files in Windows...


I personally prefer BBEdit, but TextWrangler (released by the same
software house) can also solve the issue of converting line ends, that
was the problem of insightfulmac julioes...@gmail.com.

What gpg (or gpg2) version have you installed?

 but the problem is that I am not
 able to open the old GPG for Windows encrypted files.

Do you mean stand-alone encrypted files, or encrypted e-mails (or both)?

 I have installed the GPGServices, so what I do is: open the Windows
 encrypted files on Mac using the TextWrangler text editor, selecting the
 encrypted text and choosing Services-OpenPGP Decrypt.
 
 However, I always receive the following error: Decryption failed. No
 decryptable text was found within the selection.

As far as I know, Windows uses line-ends that are different from the
ones used by MacOSX.

When you use TextWrangler to open Windows encrypted files, have you
tried to save them using the option Mac line-ends, and then decrypt them
with MacOSX? I am not referring to the use of GPGServices.

 Does anyone know how can I decrypt Windows-GPG encrypted files on Mac OS X?

Without using GPGServices, have you been able to decrypt MacOSX
encrypted files, or e-mails, or both? Just to check that your MacOSX
installation of gpg or gpg2 is working as it should?

gpg 1.4.11 - problem with dyld when refreshing keys.

2011-04-12 Thread Charly Avital
Hi,

System: gpg 1.4.11 - Processor: PowerPC G4  (1.1) - MacOSX 10.5.8

Compiled from freshly downloaded source code:
/.configure without flags
Version info:   gnupg 1.4.11
Configured for: Darwin (powerpc-apple-darwin9.8.0).
Compiled and installed.

When running from Terminal:
$ gpg --refresh-keys

Output starts with:
gpg: requesting key C91B085E from http server subkeys.pgp.net

  Reason: image not found
gpg: unnatural exit of external program
gpg: no handler for keyserver scheme `http'

Followed by 9 consecutive warnings application gpgkeys_http crashed
(but the process continued).
All those warnings had in common the following:
Process: gpgkeys_http [1372]

The process continues, checking and reporting and concludes with:

I have saved the complete outputs of gpg 1.4.11 compile, the 9 warnings,

I'm asking because in the course of localizing an application written

I was surprised that in spite of being a GUI, it was still necessary to

I have *not* written the application (I have no programing skills or

 Ben

oPenGP Lite (couldn't find any version without the 'Lite').
This version works one way, it decrypts only, doesn't encrypt.
This is a PGP Corporation (owned by Symantec now) App, hence the upper
case PGP in oPenGP.


I don't know whether there is, or will be, a Mobile GnuPG what will work
under iPhone or iPad iOS.

I generated on my Mac a new key pair (default RSA/RSA 2048). I didn't
want to use my regular key.

Exported the secret key to the Mac's Desktop.

Connected the iPhone via iTunes (hardwired USB)

Imported the secret key to the iPhone via iTunes and an App called
'Files' http://www.olivetoast.com/files/.

In 'Files' I could see the key block, select all/copy.

Back to oPenGP, Import clipboard, ascertained that the key is now in the
keyring.

Back to 'Files', set an access locked code. Checked that it works.
Deleted the secret key keyblock.

Sent myself a test message encrypted with the public key of the above
keypair.

Downloaded the e-mail in iPhone, select all/copy.

Back to oPenGP, Import/Decrypt Clipboard, enter the passphrase.

It works.

I don't feel at ease having my secret key in my iPhone, but i can learn
to live with it, if I really want to use this iPhone feature.
I'm not sure I want to.

 I believe Charly is in error.  The line ending convention is specified
 in RFC4880, and both GnuPG and PGP conform to that.

I possibly am. My very empirical knowledge of crypto does not include RFC's.

I remember that in order to have GnuPG import e.g. key blocks generated
by prior to Windows and even Macintosh PGP 7.0 releases, I had to
convert those key blocks to Unix line-endings. Right now, using PGP
Desktop 10.0.2.13, I have no such problem.

Another erroneous guessing would be that the file that Brian has been

No problems with the keys per se, but I am referring here to the 'etc?'

GnuPG 2.0.14 will require the configuration and use of gpg-agent, that
will cache (without writing it to disk) the passphrase of your secret key.

Thus, for the value you'll set to gpg-agent's cache, you will not have
to type your passphrase, after you have typed it once for decrypting,

The former key is a 4096-bit RSA key.  The latter key is a 1024-bit

Also, the former key has an X.509 certificate assoiated with it,  
while

the latter keys are bound to your identity via OpenPGP certification.
While it's possible to have both X.509 certificates and OpenPGP
certificates from the same key (we're doing it for TLS servers in the
monkeysphere project), it's not common.  And in your case, it's not  
what

you've done anyway, since these are clearly different keys because of
their different keylengths and algorithms.

If you have no way of recovering your old ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg, you  
have

most likely lost control of your old key.  In that case, i recommend
publishing the revocation certificate you created when you made  
your key

(hoping that you have such an old revocation certificate for 1F03B55A
stored someplace accessible to you).

 as you like with the same UID in the public keyservers.
 
 You might want to indicate in
 the comment of the new key that the previous key (key ID) is not usable,
 if you plan to upload the new public key to a key server
 
 I'm not sure exactly what Charly means here,

I mean what I have seen done by many users who couldn't revoke their key
(either because they had lost the secret key, or had forgotten the
passphrase). It is not my invention :-)

KeyA is compromised, or lost, and cannot be revoked.

The new key, KeyB *might* include in its comments something like:
KeyA unusable


 but i strongly recommend
 you do *not* put this kind of remark in the comment section of the User
 ID for your new key (between the name and the e-mail).  A better
 approach is to make a key transition document that describes the
 situation, sign it with the new key, and post it publicly.  For example:
 
   http://fifthhorseman.net/key-transition-2007-06-15.txt

Great text, and great approach. One has to hope that people will
actually read it. I mean, it's a long text. But definitely a good
approach, much more orthodox than the comment approach, which, I repeat,
I have seen often used. But often is not a sufficient criteria for good.

 
 (if you still had access to your old key, you could have signed the
 transition statement with it too)
 
 So why do i think you shouldn't put it in the comment section of your
 new User ID?  Your User ID is the linkage between your key and your
 real-world identity.  When you ask people to sign your key, you are
 asking them to certify (a) that this key belongs to you, and (b) that
 they believe this User ID does really belong to you too.  If your User
 ID contains a string that does not really relate to you,

The string would relate to the user, it's all a matter of choosing the
right wording (very short).

 you're asking
 people to certify something unusual and potentially meaningless.

Not unusual (but again I say, usual is not a proof of goodness). Not
potentially meaningless, because the meaning is clear: *that* key is not
usable.

 
 Also, consider the situation 5 years from now -- hopefully you'll still
 be able to use the key you made today.  Do you really want a remark
 about this legacy key to follow you for 5 years?

I wouldn't mind.
 
 Lastly, since you can't revoke the old key outright, you might consider
 contacting everyone who has already certified it and asking them to
 revoke their signatures on the key.

This is a good approach, although it might taint the key. Users
wouldn't know why signers have revoked their signature, unless they care
to read the transition document.

 You can point them to your
 published key transition document as a start, but you'll probably want
 to also contact them offline -- this is also a good opportunity for you
 to ask them to certify your new key.

They would certify your new key only if they abide by the rules. I
wouldn't sign a key because of a key transition document. I would have
to contact directly, and better, personally, the owner of the old key,
of the transition document, and of the new key.

 That way, in the future, there
 will be no valid certifications on your old key, and which key people
 should choose for you should become clearer.
 
 Regards,
 
   --dkg
 

To sum it up (as far as I am concerned, and to avoid further bandwidth
usage). I am OK with whatever approach or method that would make it
clear that the old key is not to be used any more.

Take care,
Charly

Hi,

news of the 8.8, or 8.3 earthquake that has stricken Chile have been
posted in many on-line dailies.

I have tried unsuccessfully to access a few portals in Chile (e.g. White
Pages, the dailies) they seem to be down.

I have also tried unsuccessfully to phone to some very close friends who
live in Chile, not in the affected areas.

I have also e-mailed Faramir directly, trying to have news.

It is probable that the Telecom infrastructure that has not been
affected by the earthquake is swamped with access attempts.

I apologize for this intrusion, and thank in advance any information
that subscribers to this list may have on the situation in the capital
(Santiago), and in coastal resorts like Viña del Mar, Cachagua,
Algarrobo (it's summer time in Chile now).

 Hi,
 I'm a little confused about the verification/installation process.
 
 I have gpg 1.4.7 which came with Mac OS X - assume I trust it.

Hi Alejandro,

I am a little confused by your assertion that gpg 1.4.7 came with Mac
OS X. GnuPG software is not included in any way in the MacOS X releases.
One has to to actually download the software and either compile it, or
download a binary installer, and install it.

 I want  
 to verify and install gpg 2.  I download gnupg-2.0.13.tar.bz2 and  
 gnupg-2.0.13.tar.bz2.sig and run
 $ gpg --verify gnupg-2.0.13.tar.bz2.sig
 but it tells me public key not found.

Not found in your public keyring, or not found at all?

In my Terminal:
$ gpg --verify gnupg-2.0.13.tar.bz2.sig gnupg-2.0.13.tar.bz2
gpg: Signature made Fri Sep  4 12:35:03 2009 EDT using RSA key ID 1CE0C630
gpg: Good signature from Werner Koch (dist sig) dd...@gnu.org

 I checked on the gnupg website  
 and found the username associated with 1CE0C630 (the public key for  
 the signature on gpg 2).  I can get gpg to list this public key with
 $ gpg --search-keys dd...@gnu.org
 but I can't seem to find a command to import it or to search the  
 keyserver when verifying.  I can find the key online and copy/paste  
 into a file and import the key to gpg but I imagine this is automated.

When the key you are searching for, with the command search-key and not
recv-key is found in a keyserver (following your CLI in Terminal), the
Terminal output will display the key information and offer the option to
import it. Once you have imported it into your public keyring, you will
be able to verify the signature. When using the command recv-key, the
key (if found on the keyserver you are using) will be automatically
downloaded and imported into your public keyring.

By the way, if you intend to compile gnupg-2.0.13 in MacOSX, you will
not, I'm afraid, succeed to have a working gpg2 2.0.13 unless you also
download and install the libraries required by gpg2. Even then, the
resulting installation will not work because you need to install
gpg-agent and pinentry that are compatible with MacOSX environment.

A binary installer for MacGPG2 2.0.12 is available for download from the
MacGPG2 project at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/macgpg2/develop.
I believe a similar installer for MacGPG2 2.0.13 is in the making by Ben
Donnachie, manager and maintainer of the project.

MacGPG2 is a project separate from MacGPG http://macgpg.sourceforge.net/

Hi David,


IMO, the problems resides with your installation of gnupg2 via Darwin Ports.

Darwin Ports installs a version of pinentry (required for gpg-agent to
function) that is not compatible with MacOSX.

If you want to install a functioning gnupg2 for MacOSX, with a Mac
native pinentry.app, you might want to try MacGPG2 2.0.12

If it does, you will have a working MacGPG2 2.0.12, complete with

If you friend is willing to use e.g. Thunderbird, he will get a

 You're probably interested in something like gpg --verify, but i don't

If you signed your .rpm file with a detached signature, you might try:

Please try the command:
gpg --edit-key [Key ID].

1. If the output shows the letter D appended to the key length, and an
item like 'usage: SC', then this is a DSA key that can be used only for
signing and certifying, but not for encryption, and the only remedy I
can think of is that you ask your business partner to supply you with a
key that can be used for encryption.


2. If the output shows the letter R appended to the key length, then it
might be a Legacy RSA key, that needs the IDEA cipher to be included
and available in your crypto system.
IDEA is (or used to be) a licensed cipher, therefore you might want to
clarify this issue before you set your system to include IDEA.

3. Other possibilities: the key has been revoked by its owner, but that
information should show in the --edit-key output.

I hope this is not too confusing.

I believe, based upon previous occurrences that the problem *might*
originate with the message's format 'format=flowed' (the default format
of Apple's Mail).

But I can't explain it and I can't prove it.

I have found no way to disable 'format=flowed' in Apple's Mail.
I have disabled it in Thunderbird (for sending, not for displaying).

As I wrote previously, the difference seems to be:

Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

The signature that didn't verify belonged to an e-mail that was *not*
quote-printable.

Since you started sending e-mails with Content-Transfer-Encoding:
quoted-printable, they verify OK.

Re: Why do people send email with an attached public key?

2009-06-19 Thread Charly Avital
Steven W. Orr wrote the following on 6/19/09 6:45 PM:
 I see that there are some people who send their messages (especially to this
 list) with their messages signed via an attached signature. I can't imagine
 that this question hasn't been asked before, but is there an advantage to
 doing this vs having an inline signature?
 
 BTW, I run a mailinglist which strips all attachments. If I use a signature
 attachment, am I further limiting an already limited audience?
 
 TIA

The question about detached signatures (PGP/MIME) has been asked before
in this forum, and in many others that deal with crypto.

First, to answer the question in the subject of your message (BTW, it's
better to avoid inserting questions in an e-mail's subject, just state
the subject):

Attaching the sender's public key to an e-mail is not the same as
signing the e-mail with a detached signature (PGP/MIME). Attaching the
sender's key can be a courtesy to spare recipients the task of searching
for the sender's public key.

Some MUAs will offer you the possibility of either signing both the
e-mail and the attached public key in one single encapsulated message,
 and that will force PGP/MIME, or to sign the e-mail only, and not the
attached public key.

Other MUAs will automatically force PGP/MIME when the e-mail has an
attachment.



As to the pro and cons, I'll refer you to David Shaw's post to this list:
http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2004-April/022208.html.

There are surely many other posts on the same topic.

Not all MUAs are PGP/MIME compliant.

If your mailing list strips all attachments, that's an additional problem.

Have a fine week end.

shows that signature has been done using the signing subkey F55651E0 of
primary key DAD4736B.

2. Signature does not verify. Your photo file can be displayed.

3. Your primary key DAD4736B has been signed using EE79C636 (as you said

Libgcrypt on gpg 2.0.11 under Linux Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04_64bits

 Hi,
 
 I have been reading a book about openPGP and have installed GnuPG. I 
 have successfully created a keypair and have created a revocation 
 certificate. But when I try and send my key to a keyserver with the command:
 
 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --send-keys myem...@mydomain.com.au
 
 i get an error:
 
 gpg: myem...@mydomain.com.au not a key ID: skipping

From man gpg:

 --send-keys key IDs
Fingerprints  may  be used instead of key IDs. Option --keyserver must
be used to give the name of this keyserver. Don't send your com-
plete  keyring  to  a keyserver --- select only those keys which
are new or changed by you.
 
 I don't know why this happens as this is the email address I used when 
 creating the keypair and gpg printed that this address was part of my 
 User ID. I tried another command:

This happens because your command line indicated as argument your e-mail
address, that is your User ID, instead of the key ID, that is composed
by the last eight digits of the key's fingerprint.

As indicated above, you can use also the whole fingerprint.

 
 gpg --output  pubkey.myem...@mydomain.com.au.gpg.asc --armor --export 
 myem...@mydomain.com.au
 
 this worked and printed my public key to a text file. I have no idea why 
 it is not accepting my email as part of my user id when I try and send 
 keys to the keyserver.

As indicated above, because when sending to a keyserver, you have to
include the Key(s) ID, not your User ID (UID)
