[e-gold-list] PGP question

[hkkid]

Here's a crypto question:   PGP private keys are stored in a keyring file on the hard disk.  If an intruder were able to steal the private key ring, can he use the private key without the passphrase?  Is it significantly easier to brute-force the passphrase if one has the private key ring? ________________________________________________________________________ Protect your privacy! - Get Freedom 2.0 at http://www.freedom.net --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
