Hello David, Thanks. I am not using this key for any email program. I am using it to sign and encrypt my backups. I do have a key pair (I think - I followed instructions from the gpg home page): $gpg --list-keys pub 4096R/F784A849 2010-09-29 uid Madhusudan Singh sub 4096R

--digest-algo ignored on gnupg-1.4.9?

2011-01-05 Thread freejack
Hi, it appears --digest-algo is ignored for symmetric encryption using gpg 1.4.9. I was able to verify --cipher-algo does work but for some reason no matter what I specify for --digest-algo I always get RIPEMD160 as the hash according to --list-packets and pgpdump. It's definitely looking at what I

Hi, If you are using a key to encrypt backups - then you are able to decrypt - as well as encrypt. What operating system are you using? A good idea would be to go to the pgp...@yahoogroups.com and post your question there telling them what operating system you are using and giving a read out o

Thanks for your response. I do not think it is any of those issues. I have used this system (and this script I wrote) successfully in the past (on Linux / Mac). I just transferred machines a few months ago (Mac OSX to Mac OSX) and somehow the key did not transfer properly. Then I started getting t
