Thanks to all for offering help. I think I did not describe clearly what I
need (actually for one of my friends).
Let me know if what I intend to do make no sense.
The data to be protected resides on a fixed harddisk in a Windows computer.

Thank you. As I said in my other posts, I don't want to use passphrase based
encryption, and am looking for key based solution.
Also I don't need a private/public key-pair based solution as symmetric key
is more efficient.

WW

basically, a key is a asymmetric cypher used to protect the 'passprase'
used in a symmetric cypher. So you can use the 'raw' symmetric

Hi,
I'm trying to compile GnuPG 2.0 with Mac OS X. But I'm already
failing with compiling libgpg-error-1.4.
./configure works but when I run make the following error is
displayed and make fails:
/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -g
Good to know the details of this process.
I don't have a need to distribute data to other users, and simply need to
protect some local data and only the person with the key is allowed to
decrypt the data. That's the reason I want a symmetric key based solution.
Thanks,
Wei

When you encrypt to a person's public key you are not using the
public key to encrypt the data. First, a random session key is
generated and used to encrypt the data using a symmetric cipher. Then
only the session key is encrypted using the public key and appended
to the file. The recipient
Thanks.
Well, my ultimate goal is to encrypt data, but I don't want to use
passphrase to do it as I believe it is not secure enough.
So my questions are:
1. How to create a symmetric key or cipher? With that, I may use another
tool to encrypt/decrypt.
2. Can gpg be used to do key based encrypti
gpg --symmetric --encrypt
The default is CAST5, but you can specify the algorithm using --

Hi there,
I want to create a symmetric cipher such as AES to encrypt some data, and
think gpg (GnuPG Version 1.4.2.1) may do this. But I found it gives only
three options, none is symmetric. I would appreciate if anyone can point me

You should update to the lates version of gnupg (2.0.0) before
checking any further.

You are still not giving upon this :-)
IIRC, you need to wait only 4 more years for official support.

Hello,
The 1.x methods of using IDEA in GnuPG don't work anymore with 2.0.
I assume I have to add IDEA to libgcrypt. Does anyone know how to
do that? Is there an easy way or does it require changing the idea.c
source and/or some makefiles to work?

I started writing this before HHH's last post. I'll trim it but some of

Hi,
My question is how I can export the signatures from the keyring file.
The answer I am looking for, is not the command "check" because I
want to extract the actual signature.
I had an idea to convert the keyring to ascii and parse it, but i
dont know the format of file so I cannot do it.
