Re: Avoid pinentry-gtk-2 when using console!

2009-05-31 Thread Moritz Schulte
This bugs me because I'm working on the console and have to move my fingers from the keyboard to my mouse (or whatever) to enter the pin into the X widget instead of console! Actually, the graphical pinentry should capture the keyboard focus and thus make it unnecessary to use the mouse in

Re: future proof file encryption

2009-02-27 Thread Moritz Schulte
Is it true to say then, that if you wanted someone to be able to decrypt a (symmetrically encrypted) file, they'd need to know the algorithm used, the key and they'd also have to use the same program to decrypt as used to encrypt the file? Not quite. In general: you shouldn't base the

the latter cannot be attacked without the keypair and the passphrase, Keep in mind that we are talking about a hybrid crypto system. Your hidden assumption seems to be that the session key which is generated during encryption to a public key is not worth attacking. Then, nothing prevents you

Re: GnuPG OpenSSH
