Hi gnupg-users! I noticed some "oddities" (to me) with the selection of a hash algorithm by GnuPG. I assume that the particular use-cases have additional limitations which are not obvious to me, so could you please clarify?
First, when sending a signed email from Evolution, SHA1 seems to be chosen, no matter what "personal-digest-preferences" or even "digest-algo" is set in the gpg.conf file (other parts of gpg.conf are honored, however). Is this a limitation of the PGP/MIME standard that Evolution uses? Second, when using the smartcard, and "personal-digest-preferences SHA256 RIPEMD160", the latter is chosen as digest algorithm. Is the smartcard limited to 160 Bit hashes? Talking about the smartcard... Any news regarding a 2048 bit version? ;-) Thanks for your insights, Sven _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
