Can you tell us what rumors you have heared? I would say the encryption in GnuPG is secure, but sadly people tend to use encryption software on online computers due to many tutorials, MUA plug-ins and their lazyness and therefore it can never been guaranteed that the communications are always secure. P.S. Question for Werner and all the other hackers. Would it be very difficult to read out the required decryption parameters, like p&q so to speak, with a specially crafted software, when using an online computer with a SmardCard? I have read that the secret key can not been copied from the card, but what about the 'bits and pieces' in memory when decrypting?
