Earlier today, I was using gpg to generate keys for work. While doing so, I noticed:
We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to
perform some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse,
utilize the disks) durin… Continue reading How does user activity affect entropy generation process in GnuPG?
In order to keep all my secret in the same place, I would like to store my GPG private key in KeePassXC, under the "Notes" field.
Provided that the db file has very good password, is this safe?
Os this field encrypted?
I used the following command to sign and encrypt my file symmetrically. The secret and public keys for the user PG are available locally and were generated on the same machine (say Machine A).
gpg -v –sign –symmetric –no-symkey-cache –… Continue reading GNU – Verify and Decrypt a symmetrically encrypted file [closed]
I have encrypted the file some_file to be decipherable by some_recipient with:
gpg –encrypt –recipient some_recipient some_file
Which results in a file some_file.gpg.
My question is: is the content of some_file.gpg distringuishable from… Continue reading Is it possible to distinguish the binary content of a gpg-encrypted file from a random blob of data?
Hypothetically, I’d like to demonstrate that I am the owner of a piece of published information. The requirements are the following.
The hash/ characteristic string is compact enough (ideally a few bytes, say 16 or 32.)
It does not expose… Continue reading What’s the shortest message you need to claim ownership of another message?
I want to decrypt a text file (which happens to be an Electrum wallet file) with gpg but I get the error gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
I have done a quick test by encrypting a small text file and the decrypting it. gpg can do this, but… Continue reading How can I decrypt a text file with gpg?
I recently set up two yubikeys based on this guide. I also set it up so gpg-agent is my ssh-agent, so I can use the keys for ssh. For some reason, even without me taking any action after plugging in the key (or rebooting, or coming back fr… Continue reading How to figure out what is requesting access to my yubikey?
We are looking to introduce signing of commits into our company.
Currently we are leaning towards using GPG kays, but we can consider SSH if what we want cannot be achieved with GPG.
We are using a private Gitlab instance.
What we need:
We… Continue reading Managing signed commits as an organization
I have exported a gpg key from linux to Mac. Exporting commands on linux are as follows
gpg –export-secret-keys -a test_01.asc
gpg –export -a test_01_pub.asc
Importing commands on Mac are as follows
gpg –import test_01.asc
gpg –import… Continue reading Error on exported gpg secret key from linux to Mac [migrated]
I recently consolidated some of my independently GPG keys.
I used the following the command to edit the oldest key
gpg –expert –edit-key <oldest-keygrip>
gpg> add-key –keygrip=<another-keygrip>
After that I exported and … Continue reading Why does the fingerprint of a GPG key change after it is made a sub key?
