converting between detached undetached signatures?

2007-11-05 Thread Paul Elliott
Another user has created a digital signature. I do not have the secret key. I want to convert it's form. There are two possiblities: 1) It is a detached signature, I want to convert it to a regular undetached signature. (I have the file that was signed.) 2) It is a regular not detached signature

I tried to generate a key using commands in "Terminal" on my OS/X. This is actually a learning experience for me done on purpose. When I used gen-key, I got one, but at the end was told that I'd need to generate a sub-key that I could use to actually encrypt. \ \ So,, what I am asking in where

Hi, Thanks for your answer! Ok, I need the following: 1. I need a tool that lists me all the UIDs in a key. 2. Then I select the UIDs I need, and the UIDs I do not need 3. Then I need a tool that removes all selected unneeded UIDs from the key, and returns me the stripped key. Until now I tri

Hi, I am missing the GPGME manual on the website: http://www.gnupg.org/(en)/documentation/manuals.html Does GPGME have UID management functionality? I would need deluid to delete UIDs from keys, and I can´t find it in the documentation. When I do gpg --with-colons $file then I get a list of
