Hello,
Can anyone inform me if gpg will atl all work with the new Spanish
electronic ID card? The official site for it is http://www.dnielectronico.es
but I don't know if they have anything but a Spanish version. It would be
nice to be able to sign and encrypt using a familiar program.

Hi,
Running gnupg version 1.4.5 under Windows 2000. Installed on top of an
earlier pre-gpg4win instance. When creating a new subkey for encryption it
all seems to go well, but after saving the key, the new subkey is not listed
anymore. I've tried to create the new subkey twice, from the --edit-key
It's possible to use non-7-bit-ascii characters for the passphrase, but
there can be issues with character sets when changing from machine to
machine, OS to OS, or on different revs of an OS depending on locale
settings. Personally I'd advice using oe instead of รถ just in case, although
if you're c
Hi,
Is it possible to use the OpenPGP smartcard on a GnuPG version compiled for
MS Windows such as the ones available at gnupg.org? What should I know about
smart card reders, drivers, et al, before trying to do this? Pointers
appreciated.

The truth is that if cards were more ISO compliant this situation would not
be a big deal.
Also I'm sure a lot of this code could be shared among apps.

It's the same, combination and derivation trigger the copyright, and the GPL
_requires_ the combined whole work to be covered by the GPL.

In such a case the DLL or .so or whatever MUST be GPL-compatible (
