Casey could you give me more precise instructions please. How do I sign & encrypt to an ascii file using my key ID (public key ID perhaps? ) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto Let's take the e.g. there :- gpg: key D8FC66D2 marked as ultimately trusted public and secret key created and signed. pub 1024D/D8FC66D2 2005-09-08 Key fingerprint = 95BD 8377 2644 DD4F 28B5 2C37 0F6E 4CA6 D8FC 66D2 uid Dennis Kaarsemaker (Tutorial key) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sub 2048g/389AA63E 2005-09-08 > Then see if it works: > gpg --decrypt yourloveletter.txt.asc > > I like to use the -a when testing like this just so it will come out in > an ascii format that I can enjoy looking at instead of the default > binary format. ------------------------------ Please lemme know how to proceed further. We can also take this off-list if you feel to be more appropriate. I don't know how the list would look at this. -- Shirish Agarwal This email is licensed under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
