Hi Annie, I am not sure that I follow.
First, it looks like multiple exports _do_ result in the exactly same export data: > FIRST=$(gpg --export-secret-keys --armor <my_key_id>) > SECOND=$(gpg --export-secret-keys --armor <my_key_id>) > if [ "$FIRST" == "$SECOND" ]; then echo "Outputs are equal"; fi > Outputs are equal Which makes perfect sense to me. I would indeed expect my secret key encrypted with my passphrase to be the same across multiple invocations of the export command. If a salt is used, how come that I can take my key that I've gotten through a `gpg --export-secret-keys --armor ...` call and import it on a different machine using only my passphrase? Could you please elaborate a bit more on this or/and provide some useful resources? Best regards, Novak
