Hello GnuPG world, I'm a new (and obsessed) pgp user, so please bear with me. Also, I hope I'm in the right place. I read through some archives and the questions seemed a little advanced. I hope I'm not annoying anyone here.
I use GnuPG 2.3.3 on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS Monterey (v. 12.0.1) Here is my situation: I have imported a public key using gpg --keyserver hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys fingerprint* *provided by the intended recipient on their profile page The person also displayed the pgp public key block text (in armor) but not as an asc file. I first tried importing the block directly into gpg but couldn't figure it out. when comparing the imported key (again, obtained via the keyserver using the fingerprint) to the displayed public key block, they do not match. Reasons for this (I think) are: 1. either the fingerprint or the key has been changed but not updated on the profile page 2. it's a scam/hack 3. I don't understand what's going on (most likely reason) Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
