What's the difference between `|--personal-cipher-preferences' and `default-preference-list'?|
The former is your preferences for the traffic you generate. The latter is your advertised list of preferences that are affixed to new certificates you generate.
E.g.: if you have p-c-p of CAMELLIA256, TWOFISH, AES256, you will use Camellia if your recipient supports it, Twofish if your recipient supports it but not Camellia, AES256 if your recipient supports it but neither Camellia nor Twofish, and if your recipient supports none of them you'll use 3DES (which all recipients support).
If your d-p-l reads AES256, CAMELLIA256, TWOFISH, then any new certificate you generate will have a note on it telling people "I can read traffic encrypted with any of those algorithms."
99% of users will never have any need to use these options. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
