Hi!

We are pleased to announce the availability of Dirmngr version 1.0.3.

Dirmngr is a server for managing and downloading certificate
revocation lists (CRLs) for X.509 certificates and for downloading the
certificates themselves.  Dirmngr also handles OCSP requests as an
alternative to CRLs.  Although Dirmngr can be invoked on demand, it
should in general be installed as a system daemon.

Get it from:

  ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/dirmngr/dirmngr-1.0.3.tar.bz2 (542k)
  ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/dirmngr/dirmngr-1.0.3.tar.bz2.sig

or as a patch against the last version:

  ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/dirmngr/dirmngr-1.0.2-1.0.3.diff.bz2 (25k)


The configure script said:-

***
*** You need libassuan to build this program.
*** This library is for example available at
***   ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/pub/gcrypt/libassuan/
*** (at least version 1.0.4 is required).
*** Note, that libassuan must have been build with Pth support.
***

However, the ftp server said:-

550 Directory change failed; directory does not exist

I think the correct location is ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libassuan/

Chris

In addition, I was missing libksba which was detected by the configure 
script. It is available from ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libksba/.

  1. How do I find out if a signature file _is_ PGP / GPG compliant
 
  2. Presently I use GPG command line version. With that how do I verify
  that the original HTML file is not tampered with. A command or set of
  commands would be most appreciated
 
  _Other details : _
  3. This sender has so far sent me multiple files with signatures. The
  data files are named filename_dd_mm_yy.html and the signature is
  always called signature.bin (no date of no identifiable marks). All data
  files are only signed and not encrypted

 try:

 gpg --verify  [path to]signature.bin  [path to]filename[return]

 Good luck,
 Charly


Thanks for the response. I did try. But GPG cannot verify this file. I get
the following answer

gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: the signature could not be verified.
Please remember that the signature file (.sig or .asc)
should be the first file given on the command line.

Probably one of the following two is happening

1. This signature is NOT GPG compliant
2. Probably this signature is GPG / PGP compliant but GPG is unable to
recognise this as a GPG signature

So back to my original question
1. How do I find out if a signature file _is_ PGP / GPG compliant



1.a. Will changing the extension help ?

get this on your radar so that you have plenty of time to do what is
necessary to comply and keep us current.

Dear TALX Client,

 

Just a friendly reminder that the current TALX Corporation PGP Public
key 

will expire on 7/28/2009 and will no longer encrypt files after this
date.  

As part of TALX's security policy, PGP keys expire on a semi-annual
basis to 

better protect confidential data.  

 

The new TALX public key is attached to this e-mail and is also available


at the following websites (The key is the same on each site): 

 

http://www.talx.com/pgp/ http://www.talx.com/pgp/ 

http://www.theworknumber.com/pgp/ http://www.theworknumber.com/pgp/   

   http://www.ucexpress.com/pgp/
http://www.ucexpress.com/pgp/ 

 

Please begin using this new key on or before 7/28/2009.  Instructions
for

downloading and using this key are at the end of this email. 

 

The new TALX public key file name is talxcorp01312010Public.asc and is
scheduled

to expire on 1/31/2010.  Approximately one month before the key
expiration

we will provide a new public key for you to download.   We will notify
you via

email once the new key is available in order for you to have time to
implement.

 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your Client
Relationship

Manager (CRM).  Do not reply to this e-mail as it is being sent from a 

send-only account that is not being monitored.

 


 

 

 

MORE PGP FILE ENCRYPTION INFORMATION

 

TALX requires using file-based encryption when transmitting over the
Internet.

The encryption method is Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) version 6.5 or
greater

by PGP Corporation (http://www.pgp.com/index.html
http://www.pgp.com/index.html ).  This software is

downward compatible to all UNIX and Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista versions. 

 

PGP works by using a PUBLIC key and a PRIVATE key.  The transmitter of
data

encrypts the transmission file with the receiver's public key.  The only
way that

this file can be unencrypted is when the right private key (which is
under

security control by the TALX Dataload team) is then matched with the

encrypted file and the correct pass phrase is entered. 

 

The key talxcorp01312010Public.asc is for PGP versions 6.5 and
greater.  The 
key uses Diffie-Hellman/Digital Signal Standard encryption, with a 2048
bit
Diffie-Hellman key size.  This new public key will expire on January 31,
2010.
A new version of this key will be available for download within a month
of that date.

 

 

Along with encryption, PGP software also compresses the file to around
10

percent of the original size, greatly reducing transfer times.

 

 

The implementation procedure is as follows:

 

1. Client downloads the TALX public key from

http://www.talx.com/pgp http://www.talx.com/pgp ,

http://www.theworknumber.com/pgp/ http://www.theworknumber.com/pgp/
or 

http://www.ucexpress.com/pgp/ http://www.ucexpress.com/pgp/  

(The key is the same at each URL) and save the key to a local drive by
right

clicking on the hyperlink on the website and selecting Save Target As.

 

2. Client imports public key with PGP software onto their PGP software
keyring

*   Open PGP keys 
*   Select Keys 
*   Select Import Key and find where you saved the TALX Public Key 
*   Verify and sign key if required in your configuration

 

3. Client prepares file for transmission.

 

4. Client encrypts file
