Based on my quick skimming of the document, this is what openpgp uses asymmetric crypto for: > 10 Private key-transport key > 11 Public key-transport key From that document, the definition of key-transport key is as follows: 10. Private key-transport key: Private key-transport keys are the private keys of asymmetric (public) key pairs that are used to decrypt keys that have been encrypted with the corresponding public key using a public-key algorithm. Key-transport keys are usually used to establish keys (e.g., key-wrapping keys, data-encryption keys or MAC keys) and, optionally, other keying material (e.g., Initialization Vectors). That usage (data-encryption keys) is exactly what gnupg uses to encrypt a file. You can go through the document and see the rest of the policies, whether or not they apply to gnupg as implemented, but at first glance, that is the case. -- Brian Minton brian at minton dot name https://brian.minton.name Live long, and prosper longer!
