 Try using:
 --batch

 --no-tty

Why not try adding to gpg.conf

trust-model always

This will suppress the prompt/warning as well.

Of course, since the Keys still have their Signatures Cathy could always
rebuild the Trustdb.

 For quite some time we've known that hibernation files present risks for
 information security.  However, there are always those who say until I
 see an actual demonstration, I won't believe it.
 
 The upshot: we now have an actual demonstration.  The takeaway is that
 you should be very, very careful about hibernating your computer while
 passphrases are cached, or while GnuPG is actively processing a file.

Most 'Hibernators' I know are laptop/notebook/netbook Users who are too
important to wait for boot-up when the unit is Opened.  :-D

 Hey Folks,
 i succesfully installed gnupg on my Win7 machine. I want to use it
 with Thunderbird to encrypt personal eMails.
 Now I've got some questions:
 1) What does happen if I lose my private key? Can I burn it to a CD/DVD?

If You actually 'lose' Your Private Key [i.e. Secret/Private half of the
Keypair] or lose and/or Forget Your Passphrase You are FUBAR.  This is
why the Enigmail Manual  Quick Start Guide both _strongly_ encourage
the generation of a Revocation Certificate [actually just a Special
Signature File] which You should then store somewhere away from Your
Keyrings.  Enigmail has a 'Wizard' for this.  :)

 2) Where can I find the key, I just got the passphrase?

Under 'OpenPGP' on the toolbar at the top of Thunderbird You will find
an item in the Menu labeled 'Key Management' which will graphically
display Your Keyring(s).  [Hint: the default setting displays nothing
until a Key ID or Email Address is entered into the Search Box /unless/
You have checked the box 'Display All Keys'.

Where are the actual Keyring(s) in Win 7?  The crypto-geek answer is
under %AppData% → Roaming Directory/Folder _or_ C:\Program Files\GnuPG
assuming You accepted the Defaults when installing GnuPG.  :-\  You can
also use WinSearch and enter: secring.gpg or pubring.gpg.  This is the
Secret Keyring and Public Keyring respectively.  If You choose to burn
either of these [or both] to a Disk or store them on removable media
then I also suggest You include the File trustdb.gpg since this File
contains Your Assigned  Calculated Key Trust values.  It is located in
the same Directory/Folder as the other 2 Files.

 I generated the Keys with OpenPGP-Plugin for Thunderbird. I got the
 public key (something_stands_here.asc) and encryption works fine :)

At the risk of being called a heretic by My fellow Members of the
Enigmail Development Team I am also going to recommend a companion GPG
Frontend to You for use on Windows:  GPGshell
[http://www.jumaros.de/rsoft/index.html] is an excellent tool for Key
Management [manipulation] that offers many 'clickable' options not
available within the Enigmail Key Manager as well as greatly simplifying
Command Line usage.  [Another Hint:  in order to fully enjoy  exploit
all of GnuPG's many features some Command Line familiarity is gonna be
necessary]

Going way out on a limb I am going to assume that You are as yet unaware
of the gpg.conf File and it's usefulness.  Please do not hesitate to Ask
more Questions within this Forum/List as well as accept Google as Your
Friend.  As Questions specific to Enigmail begin to develop I heartily
suggest You also Join the Enigmail Mailing List as well.
[https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/enigmail]  ;)

HTH more than it confuses.  :)

 1- does GPG have to be installed on all users who will recieve my mail?

Short Answer = Yes.  Long Answer = every Recipient will require an
OpenPGP Application of some variety.  GnuPG is the superior one, IMHO.
PGP is also used by many but is available only for Windows.

 2- does it have to be installed on the mail server?

No.  Of course every Rule has it's exception and My understanding is
that at present, use of OpenPGP on the RIM Blackberry Smartphone does
require PGP to be installed on the Blackberry Email PUSH Server.

Oftentimes, the individual replying to You uses a Mail Client that
doesn't strip off Your prior Signature armor block and neither do they
do so manually. [far too many folks _never_ clean their replies]

When GPG encounters the Signature Block embedded in the Reply it
'stumbles' and refuses to verify it.

 Please select what kind of key you want:
 
 (1) DSA and Elgamal (default)
 (2) DSA (sign only)
 (5) RSA (sign only)
 
 What is the difference?   Isn't RSA better?

Robert's answer was accurate but I'm not sure it was the answer to the
question You were asking.  Between versions 2.0.9  2.0.12 the Default
for Key Generation was changed.  This change is viewed as minor by many
which apparently includes the Ubuntu developers.  :)

The reason the Default was changed was to make better use of available
Hash functions.  DSA Signing Keys are limited to 160bit Hashes unless
DSA2 is invoked,  RSA Signing Keys can utilize all the Hash functions
without any 'games' being played.  To eliminate any confusion in the
future and based upon the number of folks who eventually migrated away
from DSA Keys to RSA Keys due to personal perceptions the Default was
changed to RSA.

Additionally, in the very beginning RSA was encumbered by patents which
have now expired.  You can easily work around this in Ubuntu at present
by selecting option 5 and then generating an RSA Encryption sub-Key.

 this is not what gpg does.  gpg simply chooses the first key with a
 matching user ID, whether or irrespective of the calculated validity of
 the User ID in question.

I was referring to the validity of the Key; _not_ the UID.  If the Key
isn't expired/revoked or disabled; GPG will use it when it comes upon it
in the 1st order encountered.  So does Command Line PGP.

Build Question RE: svn5158

2009-09-06 Thread John W. Moore III
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA512

Attempting to Build svn5158 with the MSYS/MinGW Environment I came up
short with an Error I haven't seen before.

In the doc Directory the line below caused the Build process to Fail.

gnupg1.texi :4: @include 'version.texi' : No such file or directory

followed by 4 lines of WARNINGS then stopping with

makeinfo : Removing output file 'gnupg1.info' due to errors ; use
- --force to preserve

There were also 2 recursive Errors preceded by [make]

Since this one is new to Me and of course I am only interested in the
executables and not any documentation I am asking if anyone here can
offer some Good Orderly Direction or can 'school' Me as to what I have
done wrong.

TIA

JOHN ;)

 So, people shou7ld always *send* plain text, but in case they don't, this
 trick may help the situation.

This is because switching Thunderbird's View Setting to Plaintext is
actually telling the MUA to 'convert' to plaintext which strips out
_all_ HTML character encoding.  This is a Thunderbird Setting and not an
Enigmail Setting.  It is for the benefit of folks who desire to never

Re: how to sign files inside a folder?

 Hello,
   I saw a question in the support list in Spanish language, and it is
 about how to sign files inside a folder, in Windows OS, without using
 additional tools. The goal is to have a tree of folders, with files
 inside, and to sign individually each file (with detached signature, if
 I am not wrong).
 
   Since I have never had to do something like that, I don't have the
 faintest idea about how to do it, if it is possible to do it.
 
 Compressing the folder an signing the compressed file is what
 the person behind the question wants to avoid.

I recommend the addition of the GPG Frontend GPGee
[http://gpgee.excelcia.org/] as You may run this app on a Folder and You
will be left with the Folder appearing unchanged but each individual
file within the Folder/Directory being Encrypted. Signed or Encrypted 
Signed.  Just remember that if You wish every thing left Encrypted You
will then need to Open the Folder/Directory and then Delete/Wipe all the
Un-Encrypted copies.

Ahem

Refresh Your Key from the Keyserver and then Revoke the UID which You
will have fetched from the Keyserver.  Then Upload the Key with the
Revoked UID on it.  Then Clean Your Key in Your Keyring and be prepared
to repeat having to deluid every time Your Key is either returned to You
signed because the revoked UID will forever remain on the Server.

For this reason many folks prefer to maintain a Listing on Big Lumber or
a Personal Web Page because only that way can You control exactly how
the Key is retrieved by Others.

Select the Key with the offending Signature and revoke the Signature.

the command is --revsig form the Edit Key prompt.

Promptly disseminate the Key with the Sig Revoked via Key Servers and
perhaps a direct email to all correspondents.  The 'trick' will be to
get the Key Owner to re-Import His Key with the [revoked] flag on Your

 Okay, that much makes sense now.
 
 I would suggest adding:
 
 cipher-algo 3DES
 
 ... to your .gnupg/gpg.conf file.  This is a sledgehammer solution, and
 not one I'd generally recommend; however, the downsides are pretty
 minimal.  Then encrypt a message using their public key and send it on

 is their proprietary implementation of OpenPGP is shoddy.

Riddle Me this, Robert; _if_ The Customer has a requirement that 3DES
must be used [and they are associating it with their Key] then wouldn't
this mean that the *only* preference broadcast by their Key is 3DES?  If
this is the case then wouldn't GPG automatically select this cipher
algorithm by default as the only compatible one between the two parties?

Not at all!  In fact, many use a Comment line to direct folks to Big

 You may be better off revoking the subkey and adding a new encryption
 subkey.

Definitely Revoke the old sub-Key and send that to the Servers to
prevent having a Key marked valid floating around on the Servers.

 Absolutely true.  That said, very few directors of the NSA have gone on

Not CEO's but; many have become a paid Member of the Board of Directors
whose major contribution has been to 'steer' Project Bids through the
maze of NSA procurement.  ;)  Likewise, when the Agency requires
cooperation from a Corporation it isn't shy about asking a former
'Official' currently 'advising' said Enterprise to gain the
collaborative efforts desired.

NSA is primarily a Military organization and the revolving door between
retired Military and Defense Contractors spins just as fast between Ft.

The Google Webmail interface allows the setting of word wrap within the

 Is it even possible to remove signatures from a key and distribute this
 change? Or am I doing something wrong?

What lands on the Keyservers stays on the Keyservers, forever.  :(

This is due to the sharing/gossip nature of most Keyservers.  There are
2 Keyservers I am aware of which do not share/gossip; Big Lumber  PGP
Global Directory.  Of these 2 _only_ BL prevents anyone but the
Key/Account Owner from 'changing' the listed Key.

Listing Your Key at www.biglumber.com will allow You to display Your Key
exactly as You desire it to appear and folks may be directed to retrieve
it from there via a Comment line or a signature tagline.  I am not aware
of the ability to specify the Big Lumber listing in a 'Preferred
Keyserver' flag.

IMO, the benefits of having One's Key available via auto-retrieval
outweighs the hassle of undesired Signatures and the 'baggage' of
old/revoked UID's.  YMMV

This is Correct!  Upload a Key with signatures removed and as soon as
that Keyserver 'refreshes' during the next round of updating from all
other Keyservers it is linked to the removed signatures are restored.
End of story!

 I understand that I cannot remove keys, but I think any changes that
 require my secret key would be ok :( ...

Err  How?  The only time Your passphrase is required is when You are
a revoking a Signature You, yourself, made.  Your Secret Key isn't, or
shouldn't be, on the Keyservers.  Anybody can Sign Your Key and upload
it to the Keyservers whenever they desire.  Your Public Key is in the
public domain.  This is why some folks maintain a listing of their
clean, desired Key on Big Lumber or the PGP GD.  With Big Lumber only
You may access Your listed Key to make 'changes' and with PGP GD any
uploaded Key requires verification of each UID email address via a
Ping/Pong challenge before it is listed for dissemination.

 It means that you haven't signed the key that you are using to check the
 signature, and GnuPG isn't able to validate the key with your web-of-trust.

If You desire the 'Full Monty' Educational Course on 'WoT' [Web of
Trust] then either stick around or ask specifically about it.  Since I
suspect You really just want the 'quick  dirty' Answers to the above
Questions; here they are:

1.  Add this single line to Your gpg.conf

trust-model always

The addition of this line [---trust-model-always from Command Line] will
effectively 'tell' GPG that You have trust in _every_ Key in Your
Keyring and therefore to suppress an unnecessary Warning.

2.  Answer = YES

3.)  See Quote from David Smith above.

Uninstall all versions of WinPT  GnuPT [???] and ascertain that the

 1) How to delete an unpublished GnuPG key from a computer when the
 Passphrase and the Revoke file are lost ?
 This key was create without revoke file. It was not published at all on
 internet or to my friends.

If You're certain the Key has _not_ been disseminated anywhere  there
is nothing encrypted to it that You may wish to recover if/when the
passphrase is 'remembered' then just delete it.

 2) How to avoid spaming to my mail boxes, is it better to do not mention
 it on a gnuPG key ?

This is much debated.  I belong to the camp that believes having the
Email Address within the Key UID makes no difference.  Not having an
email address associated with Your Key makes utilizing it in some
situations impossible. [Key selection by Address, Creating a Big Lumber
listing, etc.]

 3) How to add a principal uid to a key ?
 I had removed the principal UID because I wanted to modify the firstname
 (trema not well prompted). And then I can only add sub-uid.

Create the UID You want on the Key and then set it as Primary.  Go to
the UID You're unhappy with and revoke it.  If the Key has never been
published to any Keyserver then You can simply delete the revoked UID.
If it has then re-publish the Key with revoked UID to the Servers.

Well said.  One also wonders if You also sell Insurance.  :)

 A newbie who is aware they don't know much, may well *feel*
 the reason they need crypto is because not much is trustable,
 and they *feel* a healthy anxiety.  And though it may well
 happen to be that what is called Web of Trust is among
 useful tools for dealing with the problems, one is not
 teaching newbies psychological skills of telling how they
 can trust or not, one is (should be) teaching how to *think*
 weighing risks and showing how crypto is a tool to reduce risk.
 So newbies may be due some slack when they don't do well with
 learning trust as logic, because it isn't logic.

Sadly, teaching 'how to think' is the most difficult task imaginable.
Everyone has a 'WoT' but they don't realize it most of the time.  All a
'Web of Trust' means is Who do You rely upon to consistently behave/act
in any given situation.  Most folks utilize their 'brain housing group'
to preform 'Trust Calculations' each  every time they interact with
another Human Being.  They just don't realize that this is what they are
doing.  Weighing Risks is done with every transaction with another
individual.  I feel that every encounter with another person is a 'trust
calculation' and is based upon the logic of past experience applied to
'1st impression' re-calculated with increased observation of behavior.
This is why the majority of people will kill to defend Mom because She
is assigned Ultimate Trust through lifetime experience.  Therefore, I
disagree with Your assertion that trust isn't based upon 'logic' since
all logic is the application of experience in the present moment.

 Hello list,
 
 Last week I had contact with someone who said that my public key was
 bad according his validation program. 

 The person who said to me that the key validates as bad uses the PGPkeys
 program from the PGP corporation software (version 6.58, last version
 that was released when Phil Zimmerman worked there, he doesn't trust
 later versions) to do the validation.
 
 To sum this up I have two questions:
 
 1) What is causing this problem? Is my key really bad or is this an
 incompatibility between PGPkeys version 6.58 and GPG?
 
 2) Do I need to create new keys and revoke this key?

Was the 'Key Bad' or the Signature?  Since Your friend insists upon
using 6.5.8 [deprecated] then My suspicion is that the Signature failed
to verify simply because the Hash used was one which isn't available in
6.5.8.You do not need to create a New Key but You do have 2 choices:

1.)  Drag Your Neanderthal Friend out of the Encryption 'Stone Age' by
convincing Him to Upgrade to an Application RFC4880 compliant, or

2.)  Correspond with Him/Her using _only_ a Hash which is compatible
with 6.5.8.  :-\

 It died due to lack of interest, mostly.  Some IM protocols require

 Gaim-E was never able to support as many protocols as Gaim/Pidgin itself
 could.
 
 A different project, OTR, provides confidential instant messaging.  I
 have some minor quibbles with it, but all in all, OTR seems to be the
 best thing going for IM confidentiality.

There is also a Plug-In for Pidgin called RSA Encryption that provides

 Is it posible to ask a keyserver for all the public keys I have signed

Short Answer = NO

Assuming that You have 'Signed' Keys and returned them to the Key Owner
then there is no guarantee that they have 'shared' Your endorsement with
the 'Servers'.  :(

Look in Your GnuPG Directory and _always_ back-up 'trustdb.gpg' so that
Your assigned Trust will always be available.

In gpg.conf add the line:

digest-algo SHA256

Or in Enigmail on the 'Additional Parameters' line/box under the
'Advanced Tab add --digest-algo SHA256

You can also add these lines to gpg.conf:

personal-cipher-preferences S9 S2 S13 S10 S4 S12 S8 S11 S7 S3 S1
personal-digest-preferences H10 H9 H8 H11 H6 H3 H2

 No.  Do this and you shoot yourself in the foot.  It violates the
 OpenPGP protocol.

I didn't advocate the wisdom of this practice; merely answered the
Question:  How to force SHA256?

I referenced the previous thread surrounding this issue in a lame
attempt to make the arguments for the OpenPGP protocol.

Then again, I would instruct anyone who asked in how to load a newly
acquired firearm without ever pointing out the silliness of a lethal
weapon in the hands of someone so obviously unfamiliar with it.  :-D

 I was thinking... in case I want to put my key ID in a business card,

 I would use the entire fingerprint in the same format as reported
 by --fingerprint (10 groups of 4 hex chars).  The key ID is last
 8 characters of the fingerprint.  At one point I even had a rubber
 stamp made up with the fingerprint so I could just stamp my business
 cards with it.


Since 'fingerprint exchange' is the most widely recognized form of Key
Identification I concur with David.

If space/character count affects Cost issues then I would default to the
16 0xformat and then, secondarily to the 8 character 0xformat position.

David Shaw just Posted so I am gonna see what He recommends.

 The reality is that very few people let a CSPRNG spit out a base-64
 password for them to remember (six bits of entropy per glyph).  They're
 hard to remember.  Good passphrases are easy to remember but hard to
 guess, which means they need to be rather large pieces of text.

 Per Shannon's estimates, there are roughly 1.5 bits per glyph of English
 text.
 
 one unicode character has approx three times the entropy as one ascii
 character.


Agreed!  Gotta A-S-K again; Who are You attempting to 'share with?


 I'd really like to see UTF-8 supported in GnuPG and be able to type some
 characters from my keyboard,
 
 UTF8 is supported.  However, your OS may not support it.  That's an
 OS-level issue, not a GnuPG issue.  My Mac supports UTF-8 just fine,
 including exotics like circled ideograph wood.

What O/S are You using?  MUA?

 and additionally select some cool unicode letters from a language only I
 know.
 
 If only you know it, then kiss randomness goodbye.  Someone who wants to
 attack your passphrase will focus their attack on symbols from languages
 you know.  The only defense is to pick randomly.

only I know?  Then it ain't a Language!  Language presupposes that
Others speak it among themselves.  Either it is completely 'Random' or
it is available for a Social Engineering attack.

 Can GnuPG accept UTF-8 Characters as passphrase input?
 
 Depends on your OS.

Short Answer = YES

 Yes, but this is a case of buying a few hundred yards of rope just to
 make _sure_ you have enough with which to hang yourself.

I would say that a Man who jumps off of an 80 Story building thinks He
is 'flying' for 79 stories.  It is always the 'sudden stop' that is
painful  permanent!

No 'HTH' here simply because I don't care.  I do believe that everyone

Assuming that You did _not_ Upload these Keys to a Keyserver or return

Sig by You will carry no 'Weight' anywhere.  When You deleted the Key
from Your Keyring Your Signature ceased to exist at the same time.  :)

If You did Upload the Key /after/ Signing [without notifying the Owner

The Encryption genie is 'out-of-the-bottle' now and cannot be stuffed

 Seriously.  I think key preferences ought to be considered analogous to
 --cipher-algo: you can tweak them if you want, but it's not
 recommended and should be hidden from the user by default.  If a user
 uses the --expert flag while --edit-keying, then present it.  Otherwise,
 make an executive decision on a reasonable preference set and be done
 with it.

This solution sounds awfully 'Nanny State' like in its approach.  I am
opposed, in Principle, with _any_ attempt to protect people from
themselves in any context.  When You deny Someone the ability to make
mistakes You rob them of an opportunity to improve themselves.

This ongoing thread is ample evidence that this is an area of common
confusion to a fairly substantial sub-set of GnuPG Users; Education
should _always_ take precedence over Elimination as a solution.  Stick
with the Defaults until You RTFM may appear harsh on the surface but is
far preferable, IMO, than saying You'll *never* be able to grasp this
so We'll remove it for Your Own good.

Now that You, Robert, have spilled the beans regarding the 'expert'
flag; I anticipate another thread surrounding its purpose, use 
function.  :-D  I once heard this described as 'unconscious competence'
and think this is an apt description of what happens in most educational
threads surrounding complex Applications.

 That's exactly it.  Camellia is a very popular algorithm in Japan.

 For those who are curious:

Pardon Me for pointing this out , But; OpenPGP must remain viable in a
commercial sense.  g10  Werner *must* remain 'competitive' in the
marketplace.  Some included algorithms have got to be available for
'compatibility' with with _all_ OpenPGP usages.  Discussion of Camellia
is really out of context for GnuPG-Users since the vast majority do not
have access to it and the few that do must/should recognize their
exposure to 'Experimental' implementations.  :-\

Camellia, in all permutations, is /Bleeding Edge/ and unless One is
comfortable with the personal responsibility required of use of /any/
Alpha version should steer clear of even considering  Camellia.

FWIW, even with the quote marks left in place this would be foolish if
folks know or think they know that You are a Trekkie.

An Application that can be helpful in forming a passphrase is Diceware.
 I don't have the Link handy but any Search Engine will display it in
the Top Results.

 Out of curiousity, is anyone using one of the various passphrase
 manager sort of programs?  Assuming they're implemented and used
 correctly, they're not a bad solution for passphrase overload.

I use Schneier's Password Safe [v.3.14] for all My PW, passphrase 
Token storage in addition to the Secure Password Generator Extension for
Firefox.  The convenience of Password Safe is that by maintaining
accuracy of _all_ Login information I can store the Encrypted Data File

just in case physical disaster should happen to either Myself or My PC.

 Well, my windows wants me to install SP3, and before doing that, I would
 like to know if there is any known problem with GPG due to SP3. It would
 not be the first time an SP breaks something... and I don't want to
 break GPG.

I have experienced _no_ issues with regards to SP3.

 I don't know if this is more of a ThunderBird question. I have already
 changed this dummy kurtc name to my real name lawrence in the setting of
 my Gmail account, but somehow on this mailing list I still appear as
 kurtc. I read it's because the outgoing server name is still under the
 name of kurt c, and this outgoing server name can be changed under the
 Tools dropdown list. But somehow I don't see any outgoing server
 choice under the Tools section of my Enigmail. Can anyone give me some
 idea?

Thunderbird Account Settings; Click on the Name of the Account and fill
in the Your Name box with the preferred display.

Try adding the following line to gpg.conf
