urgent: import public PGP Key which is my secret Key
Hi, I have an encrypted document (with my key) which I should decrypt. After the generation of my key (and saving it in my email as .asc file), my computer is formated and new reinstalled. Now GnuPG find my key as public and I can't use it for decryption! This key has 2 IDs; one is for a public key an the other is for the subkey which is secret. The document which I have is encrypted with the subkey. When I try a decryption, I receive: gpg: secret key not available How can I import my own secret key? Do you have a solution for me please? It's very important !!! I'm using Ubuntu 10.4 and GnuPG. thanks for help! ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
GnuPG skips the passphrase when creating a keypair
Hi, I'm using MacGPG2 version 2.0.14RC2 with MacOS X 10.6.4 - Snow Leopard as the OS. When trying to generate a keypair, MacGPG skips the step to input the paraphrase and continues to create the key. ex: ---terminal--- me$ gpg --gen-key Please select what kind of key you want? 1 Please specify how long the key should be valid. 0 *entered name, comment email Change (N)ame, (C)omment, (E)mail or (O)kay/(Q)uit? o You need a Passphrase to protect your secret key. You don't want a passphrase - this is probably a *bad* idea! I will do it anyway. You can change your passphrase at any time, using this program with the option --edit-key. ---terminal--- i've tried to edit the key using --edit-key passwd parameter, but i get an error : ---terminal--- me$ gpg --edit-key me Command passwd This key is not protected. Enter the new passphrase for this secret key. gpg: problem with the agent: Not supported ---terminal--- I don't now if anybody else is experiencing this problem or not, if so has this been resolved?

Question about keyservers on Windows
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello Everyone, I'm a new member of the list but I've been using GPG for a bit now on Linux.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.4 and GnuPG. thanks for help! It indeed sound like you did an export of the public key only. In that case you're sort of f*cked. However, there are at least theoretical chances of recovering your secret key, but somewhat slim. You could use a forensic tool such as EnCase to try to find the key (via the secret keyring) even after formatting the drive, should those sectors not be overwritten. Since you most likely don't have that particular tool at hand you could probably find some other data recovery type of tool for that purpose. Use google. Some more capable tools may be offered with trial period perhaps. EnCase could possibly be found at nasty pirate bay type of sites too, but obviously I wouldn't dream of suggesting such a thing to you. But I'm quite sure there are some capable tools available the right way too, do a search. Possibly even some of the data recovery tools from Sandisk etc could be used if you're lucky. The first thing to do though is to immediately stop using that disk, so that you're not writing over those sectors with new data. Chances are you already have done that, but if you're lucky.. /J ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

When trying to generate a keypair, MacGPG skips the step to input the paraphrase and continues to create the key. Although counter-intuitive, many MacGPG2 issues are resolved by a reboot, as recommended as part of the install process. Unfortunately, this is as a result of 'shoe-horning' a Unix-based program into MacOSX. Should your problems persist, please try the MacGPG2 list as recommended in Charly's email.
