questions: no input file, and pascal programming

Hi I have some questions about gpg 1. using gpg command line, can I pass data to be encrypted to gpg that isn't in a file? For example if I want to encrypt "Mary had a little lamb" to a an asc file but I don't want to put that text onto the hard drive unencrypted first. 2. is there something lik

RE: Selecting cipher to generate a key pair

I agree that with the lack of understanding. It's been difficult to get specific information from the customer. I don't have the option of saying it's their problem. The GnuPG was a guess after I read something about specifying the cipher algorithm. The customer said they have a proprietary i

RE: Selecting cipher to generate a key pair

The customer stated that he can accept a public key generated with either Blowfish or Triple-DES. I wasn't sure what he needed because all I've dealt with in generating a key pair before is selecting the DSA or RSA option. Our PGP version doesn't offer the DSA and Elgamal option. I've sent him

RE: Selecting cipher to generate a key pair

Is there a brief explanation available as to how the cipher is used in generating the private/public keys? It seems this is separate from the cipher that is chosen to encrypt my data. Thanks. Cathy --- Cathy L. Smith Engineer Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Operated by Battelle for th

RE: Selecting cipher to generate a key pair

My apologies to the group. I meant to say gpg --gen-key I have a customer who can not accept our pgp public key. They are asking for a specific cipher to be used in generating the public key. After some reading yesterday, it seemed that gpg might be the solution. I don't have any
