How weird.  When i checked this morning, i was pretty sure i still
existed :)

If there's any way that you can get more information from them about how
they're making this assessment, i'd be happy to learn about it.  I have
no idea if there's something i can do about it, but i'd at least like to
know why it's happening.

This kind of confusion is one reason why it's worth using explicit
example addresses in your examples.  also, it won't annoy the actual
registrant of quz.com.

 *.example, *.example.org, *.example.net, and *.example.com are all

Hi Daniel,

your mails very often end up in the spam folder of my provider (i.e.
sorted out before they are downloaded from Thunderbird), with "sender
address does not exist". This just happened with your patch mail.

I'll review it.

i didn't see any followup on this patch -- is there a problem with it?
I think doing this sort of lint-y cleanup should help us to use
automated tools to check for other forms of errors in the future (it
helps because it would improve the signal-to-noise ratio for those kind
of automated reports).

If there's some way to modify the patch that would make it more
palatable, i'd be happy to take that into consideration and make another
attempt.  Please let me know if that's the case.

Personally I use GnuPG not only for email but for also encrypting files
like my password file that contains about 100 different passwords.  I
use a random password generator pwgen for each new account.  I use emacs
to edit the file which I keep in my home directory as a hidden file.

gpg2 -aesr le...@lrcressy.com .passwd

will ascii encrypt filename with my own public key.  If my laptop ever
gets stolen not only is /home encrypted but several files within it are
encrypted with my 4096 bit key.

When you encrypt a file you need to first make sure that you can open
the file and read it.

gpg2 -d .passwd.asc | less

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "LeRoy D. Cressy (15 Nov 2011) "
4096-bit RSA key, ID E9147D70, created 2012-11-20 (main key ID C34B77CC)

After you have tested that you can open the encrypted file it is safe to
remove the original unencrypted file.  I like using shred for this so
that the file is overwritten numerous times.

shred -uvzn 20 .passwd

Just using rm or del will not over write the file and erase it cleanly
from the disk.

That choice is up to you.  Personally, if you have different passphrases
for each key as a security precaution  then it is wise to keep the two
keys.  On the other hand if you are using the same passphrase for both
keys then I would revoke one and add a UID to the other.

One of the nice things is that you can revoke UID's and sub keys as
needed while keeping the original public key for years.

There is no reliable way to do this.  You can notify your contacts and
hope they update their keyrings.

I personally set up my keys to expire in a year, and then bump up the
expiration every year.  That way someone who normally doesn't update
their keyring will start seeing that my key is expired, and will
(hopefully) update their keyring at least once a year.

This is one possibility, and maybe the better one, if at least one of
the keys is very new and not distributed widely.

The other possibility is to keep both and sign each key with the other
one. When going to keysigning parties or at other opportunities where
you can gather signatures for your keys, you present both your keys.

This is quite easy. Make sure that you have your old public key in your
public keyring, e.g. by retrieving it from a keyserver.

Then import your revocation certificate (OpenPGP -> Keymanagement. Then
File -> Import Keys from File -> Select your revocation certificate.

The revocation certificate is merged into your public key by adding a
certain signature packet, marking it as revoked.

If your public key was on a keyserver, please upload it. The revocation
signature is then merged to your key on the server, marking it as
revoked. Everybody trying to download it will see that it is revoked.
Everybody who is refreshing their public keyring will then import the
revocation certificate.

> Moreover some people may have my previous key, how can I reliably make
> sure that they don't use it anymore?

Export your revoked public key to file and send it to them, asking them
to import it. After that they are no longer able to encrypt to it. This
will cover people that do not regularly refresh their public keyring.

You should also tell people what your new key-Id is, or attach the new
public key to the mail.

HTH

Ludwig

I indeed thought in the beginning that for a key pair there was only
one email account bound to it, but I guess this was a very silly
assumption. I now have two key pairs for two different email accounts.
Any suggestion on how to 'merge' them? Should I simply revoke one and
use the other adding an user ID to it?

b...@quz.com is not one of the user ID's
Your key looks like:
gpg2 --fingerprint 0x7388FD80
pub   2048R/7388FD80 2013-01-18
  Key fingerprint = 36CE 2A86 53F5 AC4F 2CAD  925E 1A2A CAC4 7388 FD80
uid  Alessandro Basili 
sub   2048R/1622208F 2013-01-18

With adding an additional UID of b...@quz.com you could alleviate the
trouble you have had.

If you look at my key you can see several user ID's and etc.
gpg2 --fingerprint C34B77CC
pub   4096R/C34B77CC 2011-11-15
  Key fingerprint = 8AD5 35EF 1FDF F1A7 E483  8CCE A50D 4E81 C34B 77CC
uid  LeRoy D. Cressy (15 Nov 2011) 
uid  LeRoy D. Cressy 
uid  Rev. LeRoy D. Cressy 
uid  [jpeg image of size 9529]
sub   4096R/02E082A5 2011-11-15

sub   4096R/E9147D70 2012-11-20 [expires: 2014-11-20]

For signing and encrypting the 2 subkeys are used until they expire when
GnuPG reverts back to using the original key pair.  Also when you go to
a key signing party all of your UID's can be signed.  When I do a job
for a company I might have a temporary email address with the client
which would become an additional UID instead of creating a new key pair.

If I remember right it was not just signing that he had a problem with
but if you do not have the public key for the recipient you cannot
encrypt to the recipient.  Thus if he added an additional user ID for
his alter ego he would automatically have the key.

I think the recipient window opening was indicating that he was
attempting to encrypt the message and not just sign it.  This could be
happening because of a configuration error stating to automatically
encrypt to certain addresses.

[Enigmail] revoking a key

2013-01-19 Thread Alessandro Basili
Hi everyone,

as you can see from the 'history' of (one of) my account:

http://gpg.nebrwesleyan.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=alessandro.basili%40cern.ch&op=vindex

some of my previous keys were revoked since they were just trials.

Unfortunately I lost my last -1 private key (0xBCF40F41) during my last
job change and even though I have the revocation certificate I do not
really know how to revoke it.

Moreover some people may have my previous key, how can I reliably make
sure that they don't use it anymore?

Thanks for your inputs,

Al

I'm afraid I haven't understood what is this for and how this would
solve the problem I had. I believe I have an User ID attached to my
key which correspond to my email.

I believe that if you import my public key you should be able to see a
primary key (keyID 0x7388FD80) and a sub-key (keyID 0x1622208F) which
is used for encryption.
