--throw-keyid and -R options
Is there any difference between the effects of following commands? gpg -e -R alice -R bob file gpg -e -r alice -r bob --throw-keyid file And when I abbreviate --throw-keyid to --throw or --throw-keyi even, I get the error: gpg: Option "--throw-key" is ambiguous There is nothing else that starts with the string "throw" so why? ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
GPG Passphrase on the command line
Hi, Is there an option, eg. --passphrase, that I can use so that I can pass the passphrase in the command line when doing a signing, symmetric encryption or decryption? Without this option, I will be prompted on the console. In my program, I can only use command line to execute the commands. I am not able to pass in the passphrase from a file (using file descriptor). Please kindly help. Thanks, Claudia ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
Re: GPG Passphrase on the command line
You didn't specify your platform, but in Windows it's done like this: echo mypasshrase|gpg --encrypt --passphrase-fd 0. --- "Low, Claudia" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > Is there an option, eg. --passphrase, that I can > use so that I can > pass the passphrase in the command line when doing a > signing, symmetric > encryption or decryption?

There is: there are both options --throw-keyid and --throw-keyids (they do the same thing). Come to think though, --throw-keyid could be removed since is effectively an abbreviation of --throw-keyids.

Strange problem and key preferences
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hello! I'm currenly using GnuPG 1.4.2 on WinXP SP2 and I have a problem: When I write gpg -d file.ext.asc I receive long output of hard readable characters and PC Speaker loud beeping. I can stop this only by manual ending processes cmd.exe and gpg.exe via Task Manager. Is it possible to avoid this? For example, ask for an output location (file, etc.) as gpg asks for recipient when he/she/it isn'n specified. Also I didn't understand how to set up preferences for a key: allowed and preferred ciphers, digest algorithms and compress methods. It is possible to set up them using PGP Desktop 9.

Re: Strange problem and key preferences
use: gpg --use-embedded-filename file.ext.asc I think that is what you are looking for... or use gpg --decrypt --output file.ext file.ext.asc --- lusfert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > Hash: RIPEMD160 > > Hello! > > I'm currenly using GnuPG 1.4.2 on WinXP SP2 and I > have a problem: > > When I write > > gpg -d file.ext.asc > > I receive long output of hard readable characters > and PC Speaker loud > beeping.

Without this option, I will be prompted on the >console. No, you'll have to pipe it through a file descriptor with --passphrase-fd. But with the echo command it can be done on a commandline too on fd 0: echo password | gpg --passphrase-fd 0 --decrypt / --encrypt. For some reasons I don't completely understand the GnuPG developers feel this is less insecure than a normal commandline (you're certainly not the first to ask this...). > In my program, I can only use command line to execute the commands. I >am not able to pass in the passphrase from a file (using file >descriptor). Piping doesn't necessarily require a file. I don't know what language your application is in, but for C or C++, see pipe(), dup2() and fork(). -- ir. J.C.A.

As a Unix-like program, gpg does nothing with extensions so calling an output filename something.asc won't automagically trigger ASCII mode. >Also I didn't understand how to set up preferences for a key: allowed >and preferred ciphers, digest algorithms and compress methods.
