Re: Turning off GPG-Agent on default install of GPG4Win 2.0.0

Let us know what you find out but as far as I am aware there is no way to prevent GnuPG 2 from using gpg-agent/pinentry.exe. I asked about this some time ago on the Enigmail list (I initially thought it was an Enigmail problem) and Patrick Brunschwig told me that GnuPG 2 insists on always using an external gpg-agent program of some sort. Thus the solution, if you don't want to use gpg-agent, is to switch back to using GnuPG 1 (which isn't included in Gpg4win any more, or at least it wasn't included when I last looked at Gpg4win).

howto secure older keys after the recent attacks
Hi. Now something more realistic and pracitcal. I'm using gpg for anonymous but secured communication together with some of my friends for some years now Recently I've read on severa attacks on SHA1 and AES256 that could also affect gpg and its keys. So waht I'd like to see is some step by step howto on securing older keys (written by some expert probably ;-) ). I have two keys a the moment one is a 4096 bit RSA key, the oder (for daily use) has 1024 bits. Using the pgpdump tool I found out that it has these settings: Old: Signature Packet(tag 2)(567 bytes) Ver 4 - new Sig type - Positive certification of a User ID and Public Key packet(0x13).

Or can I simply add new self signatures? And if I do so the old ones would still be on the keyservers, right? And no way to delete them. So does this mean any harm to me? At some day SHA1 might be fully broken, and then an attacker could use simply these older self signatures instead of the newer ones, or not? Or should I better start with a fresh key without any old signatures? Another thing I've read about is, that gpg keys are using SHA1 hard coded in some places with no way to use another algortihm... which places are these so one could avoid them perhaps?

Re: howto secure older keys after the recent attacks
So waht I'd like to see is some step by step howto on securing older keys (written by some expert probably ;-) ). Add these lines to your gpg.conf file: personal-digest-preferences SHA256 SHA224 SHA384 SHA512 RIPEMD160 personal-cipher-preferences AES128 3DES ... This will tell GnuPG that you'd much rather use a newer SHA than you would SHA-1; and if for some reason GnuPG has to use a 160-bit hash, to use RIPEMD160 instead of SHA-1. It will also tell GnuPG to use AES128 for message encryption. If for whatever reason your recipient can't read AES128, it should fall back to 3DES. Some people will tell you that 3DES is an old, antique and outdated cipher. This is true. Some will tell you it's slow. This is an understatement. 3DES is ugly, crude, and inelegant. It has all the aesthetics of the Soviet Socialist Realism school of art. It has also been turning brilliant cryptanalysts into burned-out alcoholic wrecks for three decades straight, and that reputation is solid gold. Some people will undoubtedly advocate much more complex schemes. I suggest avoiding them. Simple and effective solutions are usually much, much better than complex and effective solutions. ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

Another thing I've read about is, that gpg keys are using SHA1 hard coded in some places with no way to use another algortihm... which places are these so one could avoid them perhaps? You pretty much can't. The key ID itself is derived from SHA1. There was a very long discussion of the SHA1 issue a few months back on this list. See, for example, http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2009-May/036338.html and http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2009-May/024999.html In short, I wouldn't worry all that much about it. With regards to AES256, I doubly wouldn't worry about it. See http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2009-August/037107.html This sort of question tends to cause long threads where everyone throws in their own cipher preferences. Instead of giving my preferences, allow me to point at the wonderful defaults in GPG. They're the default algorithms for a reason.

But there is an easier way: install GPGShell and you only need to rightclick on the file and call the appropriate decrypting menu: http://www.jumaros.de/rsoft/index.html I found GPGShell and tried it but it did not offer a context menu in Windows Explorer just a rather strange regular program window which is not intuitive to use for a Windows user at least. It starts up with a list of the keyring, which is of little use, and no file browser. Not what I was looking for... It has a context menu in Windows Explorer, I use it all the times... The list of keys you talk about, is GPGKeys component, the keymanager. There is also a tray tool named GPGTray, and a utility named GPGTools. But what I use the most to work with files, is the contextual menu. But I finally found it, it is called GPGee and it gives me a Windows Explorer pop-up menu entry for Verify/Decrypt if I click on an ASC file and Sign/Encrypt alternatives if I click another file type. GPGShell does that too. So I have installed both GPGShell and GPGee and all I see in my Windows Explorer shell is GPGee. How can I make GPGShell appear? And how does it look like? I attach two screenshots showing my context menu when selecting an ASC file and a regular file.
