I'm in the process of automating a number of manual tasks. Several of these require a user to manually download e-mail attachments to a folder, decrypt them using PGP, and then open them in Excel. So far I have managed to redirect the mail to a public folder in Exchange, find and download the attachments (MS does NOT make that easy!) and in the unencrypted cases, open the files and automatically process them.
Now there's the encrypted ones. I have downloaded and installed both GPG and IDEA.DLL on a network share. I then copied over our keyfiles from the existing PGP installs, and renamed them ".gpg" which seems to make life simpler (do I need to do this? is can I specify the file directly and thus leave it named ".skr" and ".pkr"?) After the install I did: gpg --homedir o:\utilities\ --list-keys and got a list of the expected keys. One of these is our 2048-bit public key that I know the other side is using to encrypt the file in question. So then I try the actual extraction... gpg --homedir o:\utilities\ --load-extension o:\utilities\idea.dll -d o:\downloads\cds_20080219.txt.pgp And this gets me: You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for... Ok, no problem, so I type in the passphrase... gpg: Invalid passphrase; please try again ... Uhhh, no, it's NOT invalid. And this is where I am stuck. So am I correct in thinking that I should be able to copy the keyfiles over? If not, is there some sort of process I can use to do so? Is there such thing as a "cross platform" keyfile that works in both GPG and PGP?
