Should I be using gpg or gpg2?

Hi, My understanding is gpg is for embedded systems and servers and gpg2 is for full fledged desktops. I seem to find documentation only for gpg but not gpg2. Are there any updated how-to for gpg2? Should I continue to use gpg command everywhere? -- Regards, Sudhir Khanger

Re: Should I be using gpg or gpg2?

gpg2 for desktop. I have mildly used gpg and if I have to invest my time I might as well start with gpg2. -- Regards, Sudhir Khanger, sudhirkhanger.com. ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

Where to save passphrases?

I am slowly getting the hang of GnuPG. I was wondering once you have a working setup where do you save your passphrases of your master and multiple subkeys. Is it safe to use some soft of password manager? Not really ideal but I use LastPass. -- Regards, Sudhir Khanger. sudhirkhanger.com https

Re: Where to save passphrases?

unsure, keep using the defaults. I use those for an arbitrary 400 days to keep passphrases cached the whole session. I have been reading up on GnuPG but I haven't found good articles on safe practices and workflow. So that is why I had start a discussion here. -- Regards, Sudhir Khanger. sudh

ssh-add -l like command in gpg

Hello, Is there a way to tell if a GPG key's passphrase is cached or not? Just like ssh-add -l prints all the keys that are in current keychain ready to be used. -- Regards, Sudhir Khanger, http://sudhirkhanger.com http://github.com/donniezazen Fingerprint: 49DD C204 6035 CD92 6949 3BFD

Re: ssh-add -l like command in gpg

it doesn't ask for passphrase, at least that has been my experience. gpg -K shows list of secret keys which does ask for passphrase. -- Regards, Sudhir Khanger, http://sudhirkhanger.com http://github.com/donniezazen Fingerprint: 49DD C204 6035 C

Keeping .gnupg folder in cloud
