This is not correct. GnuPG keyrings are just a stream of OpenPGP octets in a format that conforms to an OpenPGP message. Since RFC4880 fully specifies things like how to handle endianness and whatnot, GnuPG keyrings are architecture- and endianness-agnostic. (And yes, I have migrated .gnupg folders between 32- and 64-bit systems, including from 64-bit PowerPC UNIX to a 32-bit Wintel environment -- the trifecta of OS, architecture and endianness all changing. Zero problems.) > 4. zip up a copy using 7zip's AES128 with a sufficent password for a > modicum of protection. Why? The private certificates are already secured with AES. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
