SHA-224 problem

A typo was recently discovered in the new OpenPGP RFC. While an errata document will be issued to take care of the RFC, there is some impact to GPG as well. The typo was in the encoded ASN.1 OID for SHA-224: a number that forms part of the signature when the hash is used with an RSA key. I've co

Strange decryption problem (block_filter read error)

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I noticed a strange problem which occurred now three or maybe four times, all under different circumstances. I was using my Openpgp Smartcard to encrypt a file (size about 1.4 MB) to someone else and to my key as well. When I wanted to acces

Newbie question

I am a newbie to GnuPG, and am using gpg-agent so that I only need to enter my passphrase once. If I decrypt a file (which I encrypted to myself), I am of course asked to enter my passphrase. If I decrypt it a second time, gpg-agent supplies my passphrase from its cache. However, gpg2 still disp

Dear support, There is an error "this may be caused by a missing self-signature" when partner sides import my public key? They are using currently using gpg 1.4.7 under Windows Server 2003, my questions are: 1) why causes the error? 2) Is it because they are using windows server 2003? can windows

2 keys with same passwords and email on keyserver(but only 1 secretkey)

hey! Im a gpg newbie... And i did one bad thing: I generated my first key and uploaded the public key to the keyserver. then i decided to take a better keylength and deleted the old key on my harddisk (and yeah i ignored the warning message.) Of course, i didnt generate any revoke-ce
