I’m using Windows 10 Home with GPG version 2.2.19.
Whenever I try to import the asc file for Tor Browser using the command gpg –import torbrowser-install-win64-9.0.7_en-US.exe.asc, I get this fancy error:
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data foun… Continue reading gpg – Cannot import public key from asc file
I want to encrypt my server’s backups and upload them to cloud storage (e.g. dropbox, google drive).
I understand the basics with symmetric (single passphrase-secured key) and asymmetric (public/private keypair) encryption. But I don’t kn… Continue reading Symmetric vs asymmetric encryption for backup files uploaded to cloud storage
I’d like to encrypt my server’s daily backups and send them to dropbox / google drive / etc., as a backup.
I’ve read of various approaches. Assuming symmetric encryption (passphrase rather than public/private keypair), people seem to: tar… Continue reading Using unique per-session gpg keys to store backups on cloud storage
Suppose that Alice gives her public key to Bob. The public key contains:
1 primary public key
and
2 subordinates public keys.
When Bob run: gpg –list-sigs
it shows that the primary key and both subordinates keys are self-signed by Ali… Continue reading Why gpg –sign-key only signs the Public Primary Keypair and not the Subordinates Public Keypairs?
I have encrypted a file and sent to another vm. Decripted the file and all was fine. Closed the shell, reopened and attempted to decrypt the same file. This time it didn’t ask for the passphrase but simply showed the decrypted text.
I have this text:
Would you mind stopping by the local store and buy some baking soda for tomorrow, Betty-Sue?
Betty-Sue has given me her public PGP key, which I have imported and now use to encrypt the text to a PGP message block.
I am trying to wrap my head around gpg. My current understanding is that one generates a master key, and then a number of sub-keys that are cross-signed against the master key. This establishes that the sub-keys are well legitimately ‘unde… Continue reading GPG keys and subkeys export: What is exported, and how?
OpenSSH version 8.2 introduced support for FIDO/U2F hardware authenticators, via the new public key types “ecdsa-sk” and “ed25519-sk”.
I currently have SSH authentication set up in combination with gpg subkeys by using my security key in … Continue reading Benefit of using OpenSSH FIDO/U2F support over GPG mode?
I tried to export public key from my keyring. Then I imported my public key in another keyring. I find the private key too in the 2nd keyring and I can sign files from the 2nd keyring. Why is this possible?
-K = list private keys / -k =… Continue reading GPG – exported secret key with public too
I am currently working on a python program that utilizes GnuPG (with symmetric encryption) to store data on the client: User supplies password, gpg file is decrypted, data is loaded, etc.
Say an attacker copies this gpg file. What can be … Continue reading Hardening GnuPG against brute force attacks
