Hi,
Im not good in C and algorithms, so I have a question.
A recipient cannot decrypt my gpgsm signed and encrypted data. He sent me some
data he can decrypt. It looks like this:
121:d=5 hl=2 l= 13 cons: SEQUENCE
123:d=6 hl=2 l= 9 prim: OBJECT:rsaEncryption
134
Somewhat humourously, my public key is now up on all the public key servers!
I guess I'll have to live with all that spam .. .. ..

Well, it was predictable soon or later somebody was going to upload it
without your con
Is it possible to select a specific cipher, such as Triple-DES or
Blowfish, to use to generate a key pair?
I've read email posted in the archives, and FAQ that indicates this is
possible. I don't see an option to do that just running
pgp --gen-key
Thanks.

if, by selection, you mean to choose that cipher as the one
protecting your secret key, then yes
use the following options:

There is not much hard information yet, but the two big quotes are
"SHA-1 collisions now 2^52" and "Practical collisions are within
resources of a well funded organisation."

What's the default to encrypting/hashing the secret key? And how good is it?

CAST5-128.
It's hard to talk about how good it is. Cryptography is an intensively
mathematical discipline, and most people are not very well-equipped to
discuss those details.
Ultimately, it woul
