I got the latest GnuPG. The bank uses "PGP 5.0 for OS/2", unfortunately I can´t change that. But I possibly found out the problem: I exported several public keys I had to PGP 5 and tried to use them for encryption. Some of them worked, and some (including mine) not. I analyzed the keys with --list-packets and found out, that the keys that doesn´t work, contain "key flags" (subpacket 27). Unfortunately I haven´t found out how to remove this from my key, is there a (simple) way to do that? > >> In case you´re wondering, I do have PGP only for testing purpose, >> because I can´t get EUMEL of the 1822direkt bank (a system that sends >> you a OpenPGP encrypted mail with financial transactions on your >> account) to work, they use PGP 5.0. > > To me, this would cause me to doubt whether I wanted them to have my > financial information at all. But that doesn´t mean PGP 5 is insecure in any way, it´s just outdated and not RFC2440 conform, right? _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
