Re: Can version 1.4.11 be configured to use IDEA?

Looks like the answer to my question iz: Not legally. I was thinking that IDEA was more than ten years old, which I thot meant that the patent on it was expired. Silly me, though, looks like patent law changed for about seven more years of length. So, while I'm waiting for six months or whatever,

Hi, I'm revisiting my gpg card issues to see if someone can help out. I have now installed GPG4WIN 2.1.0 on a new 32bit Win7 and is having some (and same) issues like before. One is scdeamon.exe that at intervalls needs to be killed when it starts to generate incorrect output.

Hi, all. Please CC me on any replies, as I am not subscribed to the list. I have GPG installed on a Windows 2003 server (32-bit). Looking in the install folder, it appears that it is GPG version 1.2.2. I am having an issue when I try to decrypt a file whose decrypted size is greater than 2

Many apologies! When I posted my question, I was laboring under some misinformation provided by the file's originator. The file was apparently inadvertently truncated before being transferred, but we did not know. When the originator supplied an un-truncated file, it did successfully decrypt

Is it a bad idea to place your secring in dropbox? Depends entirely on the strength of your passphrase. With a strong enough passphrase you could publish your secret certificates in the newspaper of your choice and still be confident of their safety.

I have GPG installed on a Windows 2003 server (32-bit). Looking in the install folder, it appears that it is GPG version 1.2.2. I would recommend upgrading. GnuPG currently comes in two 'flavors': the 1.4.x track, and the 2.0.x track. Speaking very broadly, 1.4.x is better for servers, while

Thanks. I should have known better to ask before I copied an FTP's link location from the page. They made it a bit more difficult for me since they no longer link it directly but as long as the FTP server is still in existence I should be able to find it. On 19/07/2011 07:37 PM, Robert J. Hansen

I thinks it's a bad idea. If exposure of private keys is acceptable, why not just using AES like methods? To backup private keys, I think printer is better, and more realiable than dropbox like cloud storages. The security of dropbox is far from claimed, don't trust them. see

Hey all, I'd like to just point this out. On June 20th Dropbox has a security snafu[1]. Why trust a 3rd party when you could do it yourself? When it comes to security and privacy there isn't much transparency. Maybe postmortem but not upfront. [1] http://blog.dropbox.com/?p=821 [1]
