--pgp2 without the idea plugin is quite useless I think. There are hacked pgp2 versions that can use other ciphers, but I don't think they're in widespread use. >If I can figure out how to install IDEA, I will, but I >can't see how it could possibly matter with DSS/DSA >keys. It won't. Those keys are not pgp2 compatible anyway. >> put idea.c in the cipher dir and recompile. > >The "cipher dir" in this case would be >/home/anonymous/.gnupg ? No, that is a dir when you unpack the source code of GnuPG. I don't know if the load-extension still works on Unix systems. If it does, you'd have to compile the file idea.c into a loadable module and can put it anywhere, and point to it in gpg.conf. >My personal guess at this point is that this has >something to do with charactersets, though nominally >UTF-8 should work. I have no experience with special character encodings. However, it shouldn't influence the encryption/decryption, only how the file looks afterwards on your screen. The bits of the file should not change by it. -- ir. J.C.A.
