Possible to recreate GPG using pen and paper?

2009-06-04 Thread Harry Rickards


Would it be possible to do the same job that GPG does (using all the  
same algorithms) simply using a pen and paper? You can do simple  
public key crypto with RSA, by choosing two primes and doing a  
multitude of stuff with them. I understand that it will take a while  
to actually encrypt/decrypt something, and you'll need a calculator as  
well, but it would be fun to try all the same.


Thanks

backup all keys of DSA+ELG pair?

2009-06-04 Thread Kārlis Repsons
Hi there,
please, how can I make a keypair of DSA and ELG keys, 4 keys, as I understand, 
and then export all of them to another machine's gpg? 
Using --export, --export-secret-keys, --export-secret-subkeys, then --import 
for each of 3 previous commands failed me... Also the same, if I used key 
IDs. How to do it?
k.

I don't know and I am not interested to look thi up.  GPGShell is
proprietary software!

Note that there is another frontend called "GnuPG Shell" which is
sometimes confused with "GPGShell".  Only "GnuPG Shell" is Free Software
and cross-platform.

  @item --try-all-secrets
  Don't look at the key ID as stored in the message but try all secret
  keys in turn to find the right decryption key. This option forces the
  behaviour as used by anonymous recipients (created by using
  @option{--throw-keyids}) and might come handy in case where an encrypted
  message contains a bogus key ID.

You are correct that GPG Agent doesn't 'come with' GnuPG 1.4.x but IMO,
GPGshell is far more flexible and simple to use on a M$ machine than GPG
Agent.  In fact, having used GPG Agent I wish GPGshell were available
for Linux.

Errr, unless I'm badly mistaken, gpg-agent doesn't come with GnuPG 1.4.x
and to build and use it, you need some of those component libraries.
And, at least for me, gpg-agent is a very, very comfortable and
convenient tool.

G'luck,
Peter

Maybe? But why should it?

Everything OpenPGP related is provided by GnuPG 1.4. GnuPG's added X.509
functions aren't needed by GPGshell.

There still seems to be this mistaken impression that GnuPG2 is somehow
"better" that GnuPG 1.4. It's a reimplementation with component
libraries instead of a single image.

Is it possible to force decryption with the wrong key type

2009-06-04 Thread Michel Messerschmidt
Hi,

I received some files encrypted by a not really OpenPGP compliant 
product. Instead of using the encryption sub key, the files are 
encrypted with the primary key.

Is there any chance to force decryption of the files? 
My secret keys are located on a OpenPGP smartcard.


$ gpg2 -vv --decrypt file1.pgp 
:pubkey enc packet: version 3, algo 1, keyid XX_NOT_MY_KEY_XX
