There seems to be a misunderstanding here. A keyring is just a collection of certificates (which used to be called "keys"). Each individual certificate will have various subkeys of different algorithms, but the keyring *as a whole* has no algorithm nor bit length. To get a detailed look at an individual key, try --list-key. (Which should really be "--list-certificate". We're changing our language very slowly.) E.g.: quorra:~ rjh$ gpg --list-key b44427c7 pub rsa3072/1DCBDC01B44427C7 2015-07-16 [SC] CC11BE7CBBED77B120F37B011DCBDC01B44427C7 uid [ultimate] Robert J.

There are three other subkeys: an RSA-3072 useful for encryption (same date), an Edwards-25519 key useful for signing (dating April 5, 2017); and an ECC-25519 key useful for encryption (April 5, 2017). _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
