Yes, but it's done by gnupg by default for 256 bit ciphers, while it needs the option of '--force-mdc' for non-256 bit ciphers. When this option isn't used, MDC is not done, and when gnupg decrypts the message, it gives an alert of: gpg: WARNING: message was not integrity protected My suggestion is to have gnupg do the MDC by default for all ciphers sizes. (makes it easier for beginners who might get a little concerned about the above alert message ;-) ) vedaal _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
