I'm trying to compile 2.0.29 and I'm running into a problem. I've compiled all of the dependencies and, when I try to compile gnupg itself, I get the following error: Making all in openpgp make[3]: Entering directory `/home/anthony/Source/gnupg-2.0.29/tests/openpgp' echo '#!/bin/sh'

Dear Martin, the Nitrokey HSM has an embedded SmartCard-HSM which is only supported by gpgsm. Unfortunately you can not use a key on the device as gpg key, but only for S/MIME. GPG only supports cards that conform to the OpenPGP Card Specification, which the SmartCard-HSM doesn't. Andreas On

I haven't looked at the links yet, but what is your purpose? Do you want to detect rogue keyservers in the keyserver network, or perhaps attacks on keyservers? There is no need to trust keyservers in the Web of Trust, or even in TOFU (as I assume in the latter you got a signed message from

Decrypt without importing key to keyring

2016-02-24 Thread Francis Le Roy
Hi, is there a way to use a private key (PGP) to decrypt a message without adding it to the keyring. I don't want the private key to be written on the disk. I'm using gpgme in a C++ and I can't figure out 'transform' a gpgme_data_t object into gpgme_key_t without using the gpgme_op_import
