[slightly off topic] e-courier.ca
Hello all. Over the past couple of days I've read a discussion in my association about a "secure" email service located in Canada. I put "secure" in quotes as they talk about a "proprietary" encryption algorithm. As soon as I read "proprietary", I have to roll my eyes as I don't necessarily trust encryption if it isn't open for everyone to verify. Has anyone here tried, verified or used this service? Is this similar to what has been discussed as a potential use or service by GnuPG? The service isn't seamless but perhaps would make sense as an offering by GnuPG/Werner? Cheers!

Problems with key available in v1.4.19 but not v2.1.5
Hello all. I'm having some problems with my key that was created a long time ago (1994) but updated with new emails over the years. I am stuck after searching for an answer so thought I'd ask for some guidance from the list. I have reviewed the Docs, Mini Guide and HowTos. I apologize in advance for the rather lengthy email but I figured I had to put as much info so you may see what I've tried. I moved my keys pubring.gpg, secring.pgp and trustdb.gpg to a new Mac over the past week. I downloaded and installed MacGPG for the GUI. I only installed the GPG Keychain, GPG Services and MacGPG. When I opened the GPG Keychain, all the keys were on the screen for a brief moment and then the list shrunk and many keys disappeared in addition to my personal public and secret keys. ??? So panic set in and I restored my pubring and secring from backup and deleted the install of MacGPG. I thought maybe there was a problem with MacGPG so best to go back to command line Gnupg. I installed 2.1.5 from source and found none of my keys in the pubring and secring. What??? So I downloaded and installed 1.4.19, restored the pubring and secring from backup again and found my public and secret keys are now listed. This time I generated a revoke just in case and to test the install. 1.4.19 works fine. Now I re-ran 2.1.5 and tried to find my keys. Again they've gone missing. [# gpg2 --list-keys] None of my keys (pub and sec) are available in 2.1.5. Re-running [gpg --list-keys] with 1.4.19 and my keys are still there. Why would v1.4.19 show my pub and sec keys but v2.1.5 wouldn't? I presume this is something very basic but I'm stumped. I thought v1.x and v2.x keys were interoperable?? Thanks in advance for any guidance, Philip. PS I'm on digest mode so would appreciate if you could cc me directly on any reply. Thanks. ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

Hmmm. Yes I used the terminal also. With the update to 10.8.5, there was an update to Xcode and the Command Line Tools that you use to compile, make & install. So that is the only thing that I can think of that changed on my system. Michael also replied and he has no problems while using the newer command line tools from Xcode 5. For me the compile step works. But I have no idea why the make step give so many warnings and then craps out. Any suggestions of what to try is appreciated.

Re: Best Way to announce a Key Party
You might also try to add an announcement in the Toronto Area Security Klatch (TASK) group in LinkedIN.

Hitting up the local LUG mailing lists will get you the most marketing penetration, seeing as though OpenPGP practices just aren't ubiquitous outside of the Free Software world. If you have a blog, posting there might help, especially if it's on a planet that many pay attention to. You might be able to go to the local colleges and universities, and hang up fliers in the Computer Science, Mathematics and other technical college halls. But really, your largest interest is going to come from LUG mailing lists. ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
Re: gpg: waiting for lock (held by 1529 - probably dead)?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Charly, thank you for your reply. And especially for the direct response. I forgot to mention that I am on digest mode. (oophs). Thank you for the link. I didn't think to look for a "lock" file in ~.gnupg. I just deleted those files and will try to get the uid updated again. Is there a "search" page for all the archives? I have just found a page that lists all the discussions by month. I think you would need to select and search each month. That would be tedious. Doesn't Google index these forums? I was running the binary MacGPG version 1.4.8 but since my original keys were created using IDEA, I couldn't run it properly. I tried to compile a plug-in but that was beyond my limited ability. Luckily for me, Robert Hansen was able to give me some help and I compiled the complete 1.4.8 with IDEA by myself!! So right now, I am running v 1.4.8 compiled from source. Thanks again.
