The CRC is a simple checksum to detect transmission errors in the ASCII armor (the "----BEGIN PGP......-----END PGP..." text format often used to transfer keys). The CRC is used to detect such errors before the data is processed by the actual OpenPGP software (which would also exhibit an error then). Common reasons for such an error is mail software mangling the data in the transfer. You may use the gpg option --ignore-crc-error to, well, ignoire the error but in almost all cases you will then get another error from the actual OpenPGP parsing part. > Is is possible to know wich line of a corrupted key is wrong? Not by means of the CRC. Manual inspection may reveal obvious problems. You better ask the sender to send the key again. Shalom-Salam, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
