Re: GPG and PGP

That is because his executables are DOS executables and not win32 commandline programs. AFAIK win64 dumped the support for 16 bit DOS programs altogether, I'm surprised the executable could be made to run anyway. Compiling the source with a Windows compiler should solve that (I have both pgp 2.6.3m6 and gnupg 1.4.11 on a flash drive, and they both run on 64 bit windows systems from a command line dos window, without having pgp or gnupg installed.) Technically on Windows NT and up, you don't have a DOS window but a command shell, like Unix tcsh or bash. As mobile phones become bundled with OSes, it shouldn't be long before gnupg can be run on a mobile. I hope so, but this isn't an easy job. I remember it has been discussed here before. -- ir. J.C.A.

So I wonder, can GnuPG (2.0.16) also work with CTAPI drivers? I doubt that. CTAPI has not been used for years. There is some code still but it will eventually be removed. Swap your Cyberjack against a real reader. Reiner stuff does not comply to any modern standards. Or well, only to their own interpretation of the standards.

Even if RFC1991 support is maintained, there's still value in migrating encrypted data to more robust algorithms. Only if IDEA gets broken (or the pgp 2.x implementation of it turns out flawed) or, very unlikely, 128 bit can be brute-forced in the future. On that day it would be well to already know what to do about it and already have the tools in hand. Obviously. It would be best to have already done so. I'm not so sure about this. Migration requires decryption of the encrypted data. This introduces an attack vector that does not exist if you keep the data encrypted with IDEA.

Regards, Ingo Hi Ingo, I'm asking because in the course of localizing an application written for Mac users, and that is a GUI for interactive actions that can be carried via Terminal by Command Line Instructions, I have found several terms that are exactly the ones that are displayed in Terminal. I was surprised that in spite of being a GUI, it was still necessary to actually include those interactive processes in the body of the applications, whereas _*maybe*_ it would have been possible to somehow create an interface that would have retrieved the interactive commands and actions from GnuPG running in the language required for the localization. I have *not* written the application (I have no programing skills or even knowledge), but was just helping to localize the required strings.

Even if GnuPG 3 stops supporting RFC1991 there will always be GnuPG 1 and GnuPG 2 around to decrypt ancient data and verify signatures made decades ago. If that is the case, you could also say we still have pgp 2.x arround including source code. Sure. That's definitely an option for old data that can be decrypted with PGP 2. That's the beauty of Free Software. Nobody can take it away and since it's Open Source it will always be possible to compile it on new OSes (provided we will be able/allowed to install what we want on those OSes). Current OSes pose already a problem. PGP 2 did not provide nagtive binaries for win32 so I compiled them myself, which was easy (just make a new project file in VC5, add all C files and press compile). Added benefit was long filename support. Now I have a Symbian phone and an Android tablet, but I have no idea how to decrypt messages on those devices. The source of pgp and GnuPG is freely available, but without a C compiler you need to port them to the Symbian version of C and the Google Java clone, or write a compiler yourself. The first task is a huge effort I'm not sure I could even do myself and I'm certainly not up to the second. The good thing is that you are not alone. ;-) And if nobody wants to do it you still have the option to pay somebody for doing it.
