Can you explain it a little bit? PGP and GnuPG traditionally store private keys in a secret keyring and public keys in a public keyring. Each user's secret keyring has just their own secret keys. Each user's public keyring contains their own public keys, plus other people's public keys for encrypting messages or checking signatures. Multiple users' OpenPGP installations could theoretically all be configured to point to the same shared keyring files instead of each user having their own local keyring files (or all their local keyring files could be kept in sync with a central copy). > My system doesn't > share anything that is related to user private keys, except for that > encrypted private keys are saved in a database. If the user's OpenPGP software accesses that database each time it needs to use the private key, the database is providing the same function as the old secret keyring. > An analogy is > placing two people's encrypted PGP secret keyring on a file server, > and decryption is still done at the client side. I'm not sure if > this is what you meant by a shared keyring. If my keyring and your keyring happened to be stored on the same server but they were separate and there was no sharing or syncing between them, it would not be a shared keyring. - -- Best regards MFPA <mailto:2017-r3sgs86x8e-lists-gro...@riseup.net> Is it bad luck to be superstitious? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iNUEARYKAH0WIQSWDIYo1ZL/jN6LsL/g4t7h1sju+gUCWk2TLV8UgAAAAAAuAChp c3N1ZXItZnByQG5vdGF0aW9ucy5vcGVucGdwLmZpZnRoaG9yc2VtYW4ubmV0OTYw Qzg2MjhENTkyRkY4Q0RFOEJCMEJGRTBFMkRFRTFENkM4RUVGQQAKCRDg4t7h1sju +scSAP4vmeuwK8YCAyYjs4Psorv96r7m3oxgzLu7sJKF96yXTQEAgAjsz8M6S03n 8sLlKoRB8wlcCmjzECrzjtTytkNsfwSJApMEAQEKAH0WIQRSX6konxd5jbM7JygT DfUWES/A/wUCWk2TP18UgAAAAAAuAChpc3N1ZXItZnByQG5vdGF0aW9ucy5vcGVu cGdwLmZpZnRoaG9yc2VtYW4ubmV0NTI1RkE5Mjg5RjE3Nzk4REIzM0IyNzI4MTMw REY1MTYxMTJGQzBGRgAKCRATDfUWES/A/5DkD/9BrPANt1BW46XokjuD/kcjuJxQ F24osueo+o/Cu/+oRnXVExm8dj1zSmr5FH5WUPxejCHORzVxEZjeKAQaLOUoxNjr hpWvJckeYi7O/+Iv7Mcvj5T88qawtebB/R8RseXak68ZIag6eFG9aMa6qIV75Jvq 60AFLEmZwOOtAoUxfwaIAgLqUc2ER2IYtdiUQX31xsNUrG60nIrWHl77mu7x31L3 FJm1t8wCI6WCKWHCygThkxFburohGIHhsC8z2MEfaN0/e/zy/ZNccC4pfhMOcAWR 1ArFEkRkluMVlkFPItPuwmSDINR3UltTyi77CQ0hYpceleJ47p2n+auYNnSS6Q+D pIh1q4nMlVCG0TgUI98lKn4JcklHfiu7HGJhFgik+tvC+2TJ+U1NZtVWqZCsr+cA YePtEyB8Pe82iu7SL3RF5AjtCJa4aS9DQjZixKwxe6WaOfVrcgd+Ne2z6nYX9vto uSRmir5f5yVhP849AyZ5q31OLPJ8GsvyLF4hyBe1Of6SxhVnlggSZJaJg3/Z31Zr /2J0U85bk8KyKtWbGn+t1KgrDt1N/u5ExuEkE3PU/5phip3gEHFymB8qqOrBCUAQ cMcp9W5hI0LAGwGJJ8vKAieoIEQvyIG6d70i/Q1C6+ktNzJSlOfvIUJMFDnXdhAM 4x3CgH8LC0MuJEMRfQ== =Ol4C -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
