RE: WinPT error on win95
Hi: Can you please advise me on how you guys get your message sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I did join the list about two weeks ago. Up till now, none of the request that I sent to the group ever went through. I have been sending my request in plain text. Can you please forward this request to the organization for me? Thanks. Gbenga Abimbola beginging of request * How do you generate a revocation certificate? I did the following, but it returned an error: gpg -output revoke.asc --gen-revoke mykey (mykey is "gbenga", which is the comment that I supplied before the key was generated") The error message that I got was: gpg: WARNING: using insecure memory! gpg: please see http://www.gnupg.org/faq.html for more information So, the revocation certificate was not created. Thanks.

Probably they were generated with two different versions of GnuPG. The "A" authentication type is fairly recentl. Signing is signing data (i.e. gpg --sign the_file) Certification is signing a key (i.e. gpg --sign-key the_key) Authentication is signing a challenge (like ssh does). The Authentication stuff can be used to log in to a machine using your GPG key. The signature math is the same however you do it. The key usage flags are just to classify things. > Another question: I read in manpage that MDC is enabled by default > with newer ciphers(blocksize>64bit) and with CAST5.

key capabilities usage meanings
What is the meaning of usage/capabilities listings for keys(shown, for example, during edit-keys interactive sessions)? S -> sign E -> encrypt C -> ? A -> ? looking at doc/DETAILS I found C -> certification A -> authentication But I dont' understand the difference between certification, authentication and signing. I have different keys, each for a different internet "personality", and I noticed that one primary key is listed as CSA and another CS. The two keys were generated with the same options (DSA for signing +ElGamal subkey for pubkey encryption), so why this difference? Another question: I read in manpage that MDC is enabled by default with newer ciphers(blocksize>64bit) and with CAST5. So why when you decipher a symmetrically encrypted message you get "WARNING: message was not integrity protected" and only with --force-mdc the warning goes away? -- Archimedes OpenPGP public key available trough keyservers, ID: 0x58D14EB3 Key fingerprint: 00B9 3E17 630F F2A7 FF96 DA6B AEE0 EC27 58D1 4EB3 Always check key fingerprints! ___ Connessione ed e-mail gratuita da 10 mb consultabile tramite web e tramite pop. www.infinito.it vieni a scoprire tutti i nostri servizi! http://www.infinito.it/xmail ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

OpenPGP smartcard with offline primary key
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello, Another question araised while testing my new OpenPGP smartcard: I have an offline keysigning key and would like to add a signing and an encryption key to it for online use, with the secret parts of the last two on the smartcard. So I performed all step as described in the "OpenPGP smartcard HOWTO", section "Advanced features", subsection "Using the card only for subkeys". At the final stage of that subsection, I have the secret signing and encryption key on the smartcard and I have a secret keyring containing the secret (primary) keysigning key plus the two stubs for the secret subkeys on the smartcard. This is OK for the offline secret keyring. But my online secret keyring shouldn't contain the secret primary keysigning key (as before). Removing the complete secret key (primary plus subkey stubs) from my only keyring is not possible, because then I can't sign or decrypt with my smartcard keys anymore. My question: how do I get rid of my secret primary keysigning key while still being able to use my secret signing and encrytion subkeys from the smartcard? Thanks, - -- Peter L.
