Hi everyone! Can anyone exlain this strange gpg behavior, observed when I follow these steps? I use gpg to generate a key-pair using default options (1024D/2048g). Afterwards, I import the secret keyring into another account, and issue the following commands "gpg --export" and "gpg --export-secret-key" in both the accounts.
I noticed that while the second command yeilds identical results, the output of the first command is slightly different in the two cases (actually, just the last 44 bytes). A little analysis reveals that the bytes that differ are really the two MPIs representing the "r" and "s" components of the DSA signature for the ELG subkey. Further, if I export my secret keyring to several different accounts/ computers, all of them end up with identical DSA signature for the exported subkey (but it's different from the original signature). Can someone please explain why is it like this? Thanks! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
