 If you want to be sure you may create the mainkey without the flag for

The keys GnuPG creates by default have signature and certification capabilities
on the primary key and encryption on a subkey.

With an offline main key, it makes a lot of sense to move the signature
capability to a subkey (and /not/ have it on the primary key) ...

 But this would prevent you from using the mainkey as a high security key 
 (useful if you don't have a separate one).

... but advising to set encryption capability on the primary key goes against
the advice of not using one key for both encryption and signing.

Also, why not create the separate one if you don't have it? You wouldn't get the
certifications that are already on the other key, but you save yourself the
hassle of having multiple, active encryption-capable (sub)keys in one key and
people having to select one of those.

Just my 2 cents.

Re: Win 7 64bit - 0 chance GnuPG / (Thunderbird-plugin)enigmail zu installieren ??

Hash: RIPEMD160

Dear W.,

 I have installed Win7-64bit and Thunderbird.

OK

 Have I no chance to install GnuPG / enigmail-plugin in Thunderbird?

There should be no problem to do so. Install Thunderbird from
  https://www.mozilla.org/de/thunderbird
GnuPG from
  http://www.gpg4win.de/download-de.html
and download Enigmail using a browser from
  https://addons.mozilla.org/de/thunderbird/addon/enigmail/
but save the AddOn to your local disk and install it within Thunderbird AddOns
from where you saved it.

 I'm a newbie.

Welcome! But ... please describe the issues you encounter :-)

Olav

Re: not recognizing my passphrase after moving from XP to Win7

 I did the same there but I do modify the random_seed file with hexedit for 
 each key-ring which some people object to.  From my point of view that is far
 better than just having each key-ring having the same random_seed file.

As one of the people to object, let me repeat that you simply shouldn't copy the
random_seed file to another system, but let it create its own. I agree that
having each keyring start out with the same random_seed file is a bad situation,
which is trivially avoided. Even removing it after the copying is less work than
monkey-bashing the hex part of your keyboard in a hexeditor :).

HTH,

Peter.

I guess it would be good to have something like that for
OpenPGP.  Something that people both like and recognize.

I would prefer something with a strong appearance, a
smiling rhino or gorilla maybe. :-)

A current movie and old TV show in the USA makes me think
of, why not a masked western hero?  (Not a superhero.)  Like
the well-known Lone Ranger, who was on the side of good
against evil, on the side of law without being himself of
the law, etc.  He just liked his privacy and anonymity.

 . . .

On the negative side, I wonder if such an image might be
accused of being too activist?  Also, I suppose the image
would have to be carefully done so it did not look like just
some bad guy.  Maybe wear a big white western hat rather
than a black hat?  |8^)


Armadillo sounds cool, and like something a graphics
artist could do something cool with.

The pierros.de mask is exactly what masked cowboy
heros wear.  By itself it might have too many
interpretations.

Re: GpgEX for 64 bit Windows test version

2013-07-08 Thread Chris
Hi,

thanks for your reply.

 I can' replicate it on my German Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
 (6.01.7600).  However, I recall that I noticed such a behaviour during
 development.

My windows version here is 6.1.7601.

 - Did you just install a gpgex DLL or is that the one from
   gpg4win-light-2.1.2-beta20.exe ?

I've installed gpg4win-2.1.1.exe which fails to register the gpgex and
then installed the gpgex from the archive:

ftp://ftp.g10code.com/g10code/gpgex/gpgex-1.0.0-beta24-bin.zip

with the regsrv32 command as an admin.

 - What codepage are you using?  It is different from the default?

I'm using the default codepage Deutsch (Deutschland) of a German win7
installation.

 - Did you set one of the environment variables:  LANG, LC_ALL, or
   LS_MESSAGES?

Just checked my environment variables with SET and none of the above is
set. If you need the whole output of SET i can send it to you via a
direct e-mail.

Thanks
Chris

maybe an icon type visualization of a file/folder, covered with ascii PGP armor 
with a metallic shine, and a little head on top covered with a helmet,
(with eyes showing through, and a smile showing through the visor of the helmet)
 and little armored arms and feet.
