Hi Robert, thanks for the answer, I did that one week ago, and works fine but i need the private key to generate the subkey. But its true that you say, we can enable a subkey of RSA to encrypt.
Changing a little my question, why I have only three options in my gpg installation¿? The reason is that I develop a system that import a public key (In theory any algorithm in gpg) and then my system encrypt a file with that public key. Thats an automatic process and I can request the private key to my users because that broke my security protocol. thanks. 2009/9/8 Robert J.
