gnupg, news and Signature Verify

2006-03-03 Thread Hanno 'Rince' Wagner
Hi, I try to establish a way to sign my NewsPostings and - more interesting - also to verify the messages posted by other people. Since I am using new keys, the digest algorithm is SHA1 - which I also use. But gpg seem to have a problem with the signed message (I can not see why). I have put the

Which Digest Algorithm to use?

2006-03-03 Thread Olaf Gellert
Hi, I do have some old PGP-2 keys (that are pretty well connected in the WebOfTrust). I understand that PGP2 keys use MD5 as default hash algorithm and they do not contain any fields to store adapted preferences. But I still can use "--digest-algorithm" to create SHA1 or SHA256 signatures. But wha

And since it works with Mozilla, I suspect your banking card is using a X.509 certificate not a PGP key. Probably. However, I still need to sign mails with this smartcard, so is there still a way to use this card with the X.509 certificates with kmail / gnupg? For official documents I'll so
