Travis ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users While I can't help you with this problem, I can possibly give you a suggestion for the future. I use a program called PW Safe by PassWare. It's basically a password management program, but it's encrypted. What I do is, I create an entry for GNU-PG and put in the username in it's space, and generate a password using it's built in Generator. Then, when I go to create the key, I type the generated password in for the key. Now, when I do a backup of everything, and restore my keys, I have the passwords saved. Or, if I import them from a keyserver (which I'm assuming you are trying to do), I have the passwords also. If you want to, in the notes section in PW Safe, you can put your private key. That way, you have it as well. (it could be listed in the 'username' field, if you want). You can find PW Safe at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pwsafe/. Hopefully this helps you out.

[outlgpg] Questions on installing and using with Outlook 2003.
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi there, First of all, has anyone successfully installed this and used it with Outlook 2003? I downloaded the file, and unzipped everything. I put the gpgexch.dll file in one folder, and the libgpgmedlgs.dll file into the Windows\system32 directory. When I tried to do regsvr, I had to move the gpgexch.dll file to the Windows\System32 folder also. Now, I have the tabs in Outlook, but it doesn't work as expected... My questions are these... 1) When I did the regsvr, should I have did regsvr32.exe C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Outlook (where I originally put the gpgexch.dll file), or was I correct in moving the file to C:\Windows\System32? 2) How do I configure Outlook to use the gpg program? I have my GPG keys and the binaries in C:\Program Files\GNU\GnuPG\ but, I'm not sure what program is the key-manager one. I have gpg.exe for that, and when I run the keymanager, I get a cmd box that says gpg-- Go ahead and type your message. Also, I don't have any new buttons in my mail message composition box. 3) Is there any documentation out there specifically for Microsoft Outlook? If not, would there be an interest in having some created? If/when I find out the answers to my problems, I can create a .rtf file or htm file that walks you through it, if the interest is there. Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Re: Entropy in ascii-armored output?
On Fri, 29 Jul 2005 20:56:58 -0400, David Shaw said: cat /good/random/source | gpg --enarmor There is even an easier way: gpg --gen-random -a 1 12 Returns 16 bytes of armored random; i.e. actual 12 bytes. This uses the same algorithm gpg uses for session keys. By using 2 instead of 1 gpg will use the algorithm it uses for creating keys (i.e. it might block until enough random is available). Should should use a multiple of 3 for the number of random bytes, so that gpg won't produce padding characters.

When I ran Regsvr32, I got Load Module failed, can't find the module. But, it was because I wasn't using quotes around the Path. I should have known better.. :S As for what I have the tabs in Outlook, but they don't work as expected means, I tried to explain that afterwards. I have the tab in my Preferences, but I wasn't exactly sure what to put in there. Originally, I had the Always sign with the default key option checked, but since I didn't know what to put, I put a pathname to a file in. Looking back, I'm assuming it means an actual key. Also the message I get in the cmd box when I try running Keymanager (which you explained later on). When you click on the Advanced button in the GnuPG tab (Preferences in Outlook), and specify the binaries, you want to put C:\Program Files\GNU\GnuPG\gpg.exe for the Path to Binaries, C:\Program Files\GNU\GnuPG\ for the path to home directory (since that's where my trustdb.gpg file is located) and C:\winpt\winpt.exe --keymanager for the path to keymanager?

optimizing gpg for the gpgme library
Hi, I propose the following: split-up gpg into a front-end and a shared library. The shared library then contains all code for handling the keyring-files, doing the crypto-stuff, etc. while the front-end (just a normal executable) contains the code for parsing commandlines and calling the shared library with all the previously mentioned functions. That way, the gpgme-library can also link against this library so that it only has to do function-calls instead of invoking the whole gpg-executable when it wants to do anything pgp-ish.
