The details file documents using the --list-keys command with the and
specifying the --with-fingerprint option twice. This produces a list
which shows the algorithm used for the key. This can also be used with
the --list-secret-keys command.
e.g., enter the following command:
gpg --with-fingerprint --with-fingerprint --with-colons --list-secret-keys
Description from DETAILS:
4. Field: Algorithm: 1 = RSA
16 = Elgamal (encrypt only)
17 = DSA (sometimes called DH, sign only)
20 = Elgamal (sign and encrypt - don't use them!)
(for other id's see include/cipher.h)
