Where is the "INTEROPERABILITY WITH OTHER OPENPGP PROGRAMS section"?

2019-07-25 Thread Kynn Jones via Gnupg-users
Hi! The GnuPG documentation refers to an "INTEROPERABILITY WITH OTHER OPENPGP PROGRAMS section", but when I search for this title, I find only references to it, not the actual section. Does any one know where that section is? Thank you in advance, kj

Hi everyone, First, please allow me to define a bit of ad-hoc nomenclature. I will use the uppercase tems "ENCRYPT", "ENCRYPTION", etc. as shorthands for "compress and AES256-encrypt", "compression and AES256 encryption", etc. Likewise, I will use "DECRYPT", etc. as shorthands for "[AES256] decry

Book on gnupg?

2018-12-04 Thread Kynn Jones
Hi everyone, I need to write a program that uses gnupg (possibly through gpgme), but I'm having a hard time understanding the documentation for this software. I took something like "cryptography 101" in college, way back when, but the stuff I read on gnupg/gpgme is filled with concepts that eithe
