Hi Everyone,
This is a stupid question I'm sure but I can't seem to find an answer

That's the way the key ID is derived for v4 keys. v4 keys use the low
64 bits (or 32 bits for short key IDs) as the key ID. v3 keys used the

The "reason" is that the short and long key ID are defined as the last 4/8
bytes of the fingerprint. In other words: They are not attached to the

what is the reasoning for attaching the key ID to the end of the

Hello, I am facing problems decrypting data with my OpenPGP v2 card.
Signing however is working just fine. I have collected the following

$ gpg2 --default-key 0xF3D84563 --armor -e
