Ignore all of this. I made a huge mistake, apparently you can encrypt data and store it in the ASCII files, I have no idea why I thought you couldn't, it's so logical that you can, all it is doing is storing bytes as ASCII, it's just I've never seen it in use so I never connected the dots until I read vedaal's message. What I'm trying to say is:- .asc can be used for encrypted connect, albeit probably not recommending if you're sending large files, just as much as it can be used for signatures. Signatures are to verify the content hasn't been modified, encryption is to verify that only the recipient can read the data, and encrypt+sign is to verify the data hasn't been modified and the recipient is the only one who can read it. There we go, sorry for the mistake, I feel very stupid right about now. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
