if, by selection, you mean to choose that cipher as the one protecting your secret key, then yes use the following options: --expert --s2k-cipher-algo name (either Blowfish or 3DES, or any other one you wish) n.b. [1] a key generated this way will still be able to use any cipher while decrypting or encrypting a pgp message [2] do not add '--s2k-cipher-algo name' to your gpg.conf, unless you want all symmetric messages (not encrypted to a Public Key) to be the same as the cipher of your secret key vedaal any ads or links below this message are added by hushmail without my endorsement or awareness of the nature of the link -- Save big on Stock Trading Fees.
