Hello,
I was wondering if someone in the know could fill me in on what, in general
terms, the structure of a keyblock in GPG looks like. I know it's a tree of
packets that diverges into one for the secret key and one for the public key
component, but what's at the root? Just what the arrangement

Hi,
I'm using PGP Desktop 9.8 and I noticed when I export a public key from GPG
and import it in PGP, any trust signatures made on it with GPG and given a
depth greater than 8 are lost. Presumably this is because of constraints
within PGP, IE the maximum trust depth that can be set in PGP for a

Hello,
I'm having a disagreement with someone over this. From what I've read,
signatures on a "public key" or rather, a certificate, including the
self-signature, are stored as a packet on that key. The important point:
This data (IE all the signatures made on your certificate) is encoded on the
Dear GnuPG users,
I have some questions regarding use of the tsign command; please don't feel
you have to answer all of them at once, just one will do, although I'd like
to point out that the one most important to me is #1. I’ve been doing some
reading and experimentation with tsign and I think I
the topic of tsigns, I was wondering what the trust signature
levels represented, how they are useful and whether any value greater than
10 (enough to qualify for a 'T') is treated the same.
Many thanks,

I'm a bit confused as to how trust is handled in GPG, or maybe PGP in
general. It seems to me that it is impossible to establish long chains of
trust in GPG, because trust databases are kept hidden from other users and
ownertrust values have to be set by the user himself; as a result of this
