Get signatures from a keyring file

2006-11-14 Thread yiannis pefk
Hi, My question is how I can export the signatures from the keyring file. The answer I am looking for, is not the command check because I want to extract the actual signature. I had an idea to convert the keyring to ascii and parse it, but i dont know the format of file so I cannot do it.

Use of IDEA in GnuPG 2

2006-11-14 Thread Johan Wevers
Hello, The 1.x methods of using IDEA in GnuPG don't work anymore with 2.0. I assume I have to add IDEA to libgcrypt. Does anyone know how to do that? Is there an easy way or does it require changing the idea.c source and/or some makefiles to work? -- ir. J.C.A. Wevers // Physics and

Thanks. Well, my ultimate goal is to encrypt data, but I don't want to use passphrase to do it as I believe it is not secure enough. So my questions are: 1. How to create a symmetric key or cipher? With that, I may use another tool to encrypt/decrypt. 2. Can gpg be used to do key based

Good to know the details of this process. I don't have a need to distribute data to other users, and simply need to protect some local data and only the person with the key is allowed to decrypt the data. That's the reason I want a symmetric key based solution. Thanks, Wei -Original
