-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hi Lachezar,
I'm not an OpenPGP expert, so there might be ways I overlooked, but for a deeper answer maybe the GnuPG list would be a better choice. > I want to set up [OpenPGP] mail on Android as well as on my laptop. Yes, I had a similar task once. To cut long story short: after looking at it I decided not to decrypt mail on my phone. I'll know that there is (just Subject and Sender readable on my mobile) mail to be checked on my laptop though. > It seems there is no way to make the computer and android use different > keys (unless all my peers send mails encrypted to all my keys at the same > time). Basically yes, because if you did not equip the key you're talking about with multiple subkeys right from the start, you'd need to change and redistribute that key as you would need to distribute a separate key. But even that would not help in my understanding since OpenPGP encryption still only would use the newest subkey on that key to encrypt to it, not multiple. So to my understanding: yes: you'd need to separate keys and your peers would need to encrypt to both of them. > That lead me to believe that I need to copy my private keys to my phone for > use with APG/K9. That is the obvious solution. However, for me that was not an option: I even use a SmartCard to protect my secret key ... so if there were a phone capable of using a SmartCard reader maybe I could reconsider ;-) > Is there any procedure I should follow? Like creating a temporary key pair > on my phone, sending the key-pair in an encrypted container, encrypted > with the temporary public key, then send it to the phone, and decrypt it > there? If you need to do it by network, this might be an option, but why not just export the keyring to a file and transfer it via USB-cable to the mobile? > I'd like to stick to the private-key-never-leaves principal, but as it > seems this will hamper my ability to read encrypted mail on my phone. See above.
