I don't think that GnuPG frontend or gpg-agent doesn't emit this error. It could be libgcrypt which generates this error. EdDSA key is represented by a point on the Ed25519 curve. When the point is not on the curve (the key is invalid), it complains by this error. I validate your e-mail by the key of 0x1712BC461AF778E4 with no error. So, I don't think there is a problem in your key. The local copy of your public key in his computer would be a problem. -- _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
