Marck,

 Only encrypted signed messages will result in a decrypted version.

  Ah, so it does. I was keying CTRL-SHIFT-D for signed messages,
  instead of CTRL-SHIFT-C.

 If it were decrypted in-line then you really would lose that
 opportunity since the original message would be replaced with the
 decrypted version.

  By in-line what I was really trying to say is on-the-fly - TB!
  should always store the message as it was received. So if I received
  a signed message and want it displayed in the viewer TB! would do
  it's best to check the signature automatically. Similarly with
  encrypted messages, if I have a cached passphrase in PGP then there
  is nothing to stop TB! decrypting the message for me when I open it in
the
  viewer. There should, of course, always be a way to view the message
  as it was originally transmitted if you are interested in that. For
  me it's the manual intervention on every message that is signed or
  encrypted that makes it feel less integrated.

 BTW, if unattended security is of concern to you then you should
 seriously consider using SecureBat!

  It's not a major concern for me, just an example of why I'm not so
  keen on the decrypted copies of messages. If TB! was decrypting as
  it went the PGP passphrase caching would alleviate this problem to
  some degree.

  Thanks for your response, I will give that example Read filter a
  try.

  Regards,

  Graeme.

PGP Signing and Encryption

2003-01-01 Thread Graeme J Hosking
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

  I'm just starting to get my head around using PGP with The Bat! but
  I'm not entirely sure I have this set up correctly. I've installed
  PGP 6.5.8ckt and The Bat! seems to work with it reasonably.

  However, every time I ask for a signature to be verified, or a
  message to be decrypted, I get a duplicate of the message with (PGP
  Decrypted) appended to the subject. Is it really supposed to do
  that? It seems to me to be slightly less than elegant, but given
  that I'm new to PGP I'm willing to accept there might be a good
  reason for doing this (I just can't see it :-).

  I was expecting messages to be verified or decrypted in-line, so
  to speak, making use of the PGP passphrase caching. Making decrypted
  copies of a message that anyone passing my workstation can read when
  I'm not around seems to go against the objective of increasing
  privacy, IMO. Which is why I'm wondering if I've missed anything?

  Graeme.

Yes - for decryption. Only encrypted signed messages will result in
a decrypted version. Signature verification will result in the
appearance of the PGP Log window containing the results of the
verification. With the later ckt builds (09 beta 3 for instance) the
result of the verification process is loaded into the clipboard
ready to be pasted back into a response.

GJH It seems to me to be slightly less than elegant, but given that
GJH I'm new to PGP I'm willing to accept there might be a good

The reason is that the decryption is intended to be temporary - for
viewing purposes only. I employ Read message filters to delete
decrypted messages automatically after reading. I also employ
special macros to enforce encryption and to remove the Decrypted
from the subject when replying.

Only deleting the decrypted version once read. If it were decrypted

S/MIME messages are actually handled more as you describe.

Sure.

Here's my QSUBJ Quick Template:

%SUBJECT=Re: %SETPATTREGEXP='(?i)\A(?::?\s*)%-
(?:(?:\s*(?:fwd|re|aw|fw|antwort|wg|forw)%-
(?:\[\d*\])?:\s*)|(?:\s*\[.*\]\s*))*%-

(?:\((?:PGP|S/MIME) Decrypted\)))*\z'%-
%REGEXPMATCH='%OSUBJ'

I use this in all my templates since it does the whole tidy up
thing for all possible manglement of a subject line. It's an
extrapolation of the standard one in the library I think.

And here's a typical Read message filter to rid me of a decrypted
copy.

BeginFilter
Name: Remove decrypted copy
Active: 1
Source: \Inbox
Target: \Inbox
CopyFolder: none
MainSet: 20\(PGP Decrypted\)
Actions: faDelMsg,faoRegExp
EndFilter

Anyone who doesn't know how to use one of these - just highlight the
above text including the BeginFilter and EndFilter lines and press
Ctrl-C (or Right Click / choose Copy from the menu). Now open up
the Sorting office and click on the Read messages folder. Now press
Ctrl-V to paste the filter in. That'll do it.

If you're using a supported version with a plug-in (6.5.8ckt or

signature. Just configure TB to use the correct version in Tools |
OpenPGP | Choose OpenPGP version. Otherwise, you should use the
tooltray utility that comes with whichever version of PGP you are
usin.

M Now I'm trying to automate. I tried exporting my key, and

It is. vCards hold S/MIME keys, not PGP keys.

M When I try and send a message it says I don't have an openPGP

M I can still cut and paste my key into the message, but I suspect
M there's an easier way. Thanks in advance.

Your key is not needed there. You only need to do that when sending
someone your key. You don't need to do that to PGP sign a message.

Wouldn't you class that as a bug though?  Or is that one of those
undocumented features?  Personally I find it rather annoying, there is
a reason I set it in certain templates to sign, and in others, to leave
it unsigned... having to remember to resign it after storing it as a
draft is a pain, especially when you get several hundred emails a day,
without counting the work load as well ;)

Not really. It's more what it is than a bug (see below).

Again, not really. It's one of the shortcomings of the V1 design.

So do I. If you are interested in why - the message data doesn't

I've had a good try to seem the rhyme/reason in it and failed.
Theories abound about patched plug-ins (it's not that) and encoding
method (8bit vs 7bit vs MIME vs QP). I still don't see the common
denominator. And nary a problem with GnuPG.

Re: PGP signing - odd characters

2002-01-31 Thread Clif Oliver


I played around a bit, but also couldn't find a common denominator.
Sometimes adding a single linefeed after makes it go away; sometimes,
before the first line; sometimes both; or not.

Like you and Carren point out, it's more of an intellectual curiosity
to me at this point. In my case, I just found the whole thing
humorously ironic, and that it wasn't just me.

Now when all of my code is completely bug free. yeah, right.

Regards,

Clif

 Theories abound about patched plug-ins (it's not that) and encoding
 method (8bit vs 7bit vs MIME vs QP). I still don't see the common
 denominator. And nary a problem with GnuPG.

PGP signing - odd characters

2002-01-28 Thread Clif Oliver

Greetings, all.

I am using the 6.5.x PGP plug-in with TB! 1.53. Not always, but
frequently when I select Privacy/OpenPGP/Sign entire text it adds a
bunch of odd characters after the last line of my text and before the
PGP signature.

Is this a known bug? Or have I misconfigured something?

Thanks.

Clif

Cliff,

Welcome to the *weird characters* club! :-)

I posted a while back about this and so far noone seems to really know
what causes it, or why it does not always happen! It isn't anything
that *we* have misconfigured as far as I can tell. Maybe it *is* a
bug. I have gone back to using PGP tray to sign etc  and only
use the plugin every now and again just for fun! :-)

Maybe someday someone will be able to truly enlighten us!

NA Stefano, are you wanting to use PGP, or S/MIME? The two are both
NA encryption systems, yet very different. I believe you are confusing the
NA two, and the way things are set up, it's understandable.

Yes, infact, also because of my 'ignorance' about S/MIME and
certificate ecc...
The only yhing that i know well about is PGP :-)

NA The "Sign when completed" that you mention, refers to S/MIME, and you need
NA to import a Certificate from Verisign or Thawte for this. If you go to
NA Privacy/PGP, you will see the PGP related commands for signing,
NA encrypting, and signing/encrypting.

Yes, i have do it, with verisign, (60 day certificate) and it work
well now !
(But i prefere PGP)

NA Do you have PGP installed on your computer? What version? If you want help
NA with that, why don't you join our PGP-Basics Group:

Yes, i have 6.5.3 version registered (with PGPDisk).

I used a Hex Editor on the DLL... If you also have 6.5.8 installed on your

The 1 MB file you see there is obviously an incomplete archive. The
largest file there is the retail version of Desktop Security 6.5.8,
followed by the retail version of PGP Personal Privacy, and finally the
Freeware versions.

PGP signing problem

2000-09-18 Thread Vladimir Mincev

Hello Bat lovers,

I tried to sign one message (by checking sign when completed) but it says:
1. No signing certificate for [EMAIL PROTECTED]
2. No  valid signing certificates. Cannot sign the  message using S/MIME
When I uncheck S/MIME option everything goes ok.
I think I didn't see this option (just upgraded to TB 1.46)
What is s/mime and why is that option checked by default?
Note: when I sign entire text (from menu) there are no problems at all
(even  if  S/MIME  is enabled), problem exists just when I try to sign
with: sign when completed.

P.S. Check my new signature!

(Old Fravia used to talk about that)


OPINION
I wouldn't trust NAI at this point.  But that is me personally.  I
don't use anything by them at all.  I miss the old MCafee SCAN.EXE
days!!  now they are over the edge./OPINION

 I read back in 1995-96 an article was in Extraordinary Science
Magazine published by the ITS and the article was written by JW
McGinnis (the magazine is OOP now) to download version 2.3 of pgp
because this whole whoopla was about to hit and the governments were
going to start messing with pgp. I've also head numerous articles by
hackers that said that the "older versions are the best." When asked
which version do I want, the answer was, the oldest version you can
get. The version that McGinnis was telling us to get was the source
code of 2.XX (the version without the windows support dll's) So when I
try to run that in The Bat it won't work. There are shells for it
although I am not crying about this, I'm only passing on information
that I understand. I trust McGinnis more than I trust someone I
haven't met--I've met McGinnis in San Francisco, Ca. And talked with
him, and he is one who has reasons specifically to encrypt secrets, I
haven't met some of the other well known people in the cryptography
field; some of which I assume are US planted disinformation websites.
There are MILLIONS if not BILLIONS of crypto sites on the web.
Cryptome in/out is another example of a place that i hang out reading
news. Then there is the Mitnick saga.. Is the FBI not still trying to
crack into his hard drives at this very moment? What version did he
use?

Obviously the password will be making a big difference in how soon the
FBI will be cracking it.

Although I am using a ckt (Cyber Knights Templar) version of pgp
(which allow a larger key) at the moment, I also have and use a much
older version and retain all the extra junk in my startup files for
that version. I use this ckt version mainly to stymie the Free Dial Up
account[s] possibility of reading mail. I'm not after keeping fbi
spooks out of my top secret physics experiments on cold fusion with
the ckt build. If I wanted that I would use the older pgp.


note: that if you get the ckt build, expect for a large key
to take more than an hour to compile--I fell asleep waiting

Somebody mentioned RSA vs. DH/DSS  I trust the DH/DSS more than RSA
because I've heard that RSA has been cracked, or tampered with.

Problem is getting other people to use DH/DSS most people don't create
more than one key, or end up deleting keys like I do.  "Whoops.  Damn
you mean to tell me that the key will stay on the MIT server if I lost
my key?"  -AHahahah LOL

 happening.

What about that backdoor one of the USA politicians recent blabbed
about, and the NSA spare key...
I wouldnt trust any encrypto from MS or similar USA companies unless
the source was available to look at..
After the turnaround the USA government did on excrypting they HAVE to
be able to decode it.

If any version of Linux becomes settled in enough to be THE one to
use, you can be sure there will be attempts to sneak similar code in.
May already be it in the kernel...


You have NO idea what data they nick at various times, can even be

Take pgp on its own, code should be code, not starting with some silly
banner telling the whole world what it is and also as a side effect
showing when a decode was succesful.
You want to multiple loop pgp, and you can, that banner tells exactly
when a loop was succesful...

I was pretty sure this was implemented when I started playing with PGP
in The Bat! since The Bat! is a (and one among *very* few) truly multi

implementation. It wouldn't be that the internal PGP implementation in
The Bat! can do this? I am now pretty sure it can't after having
looked in every corner for both documented and a possibly undocumented
feature, but I ask again :)

You are right though, in these multi mail account times when even your

helpful.

Well, for one thing, I don't believe the internal implementation allows
for use of anything other than RSA Keys. The question then remains: Which
algorithms are stronger... RSA or DH/DSS? In practise, RSA Keys seem to be
more vulnerable, and the reasons can be found here:

The latest freeware version of PGP is 6.5.3, and PGP Desktop Security 7.0

Although PGP allows for more than one User name or E-Mail address for use
with the same Key Pair (Private and Public Key), it allows for only one of
them to be a primary identifier. Most Users have specific security
concerns that are not addressed by having just the one Key Pair, and so
you see a lot of Key Pairs with only one address associated with it. It
has more to do with signing, encrypting and verification concerns than
anything else.

heard that the older the version of pgp (ie. 2.x) are harder to crack
than the newer windows versions.  I can't remember where I heard that
though, I've always believed it.

Re[3]: PGP signing question.

Hi Phil,

On Saturday, May 27, 2000, 10:20:43 PM, you wrote in part about "PGP
signing question.":

This is because the older versions have the open source code readily
available for inspection to see if there has been any tampering via
checksums, both the US and International versions.  The new versions -
well, the source code has not been available, as far as I can tell.
There is no new International version, but just a copy from the US
version (6.53)

PGP signing question.

2000-05-26 Thread Christian Dysthe

Hello TBUDL,

  I have different PGP keys for different mail accounts. Is it way to
  have The Bat! sign with a specified key based on which account mail
  is sent from?
