I'm not sure what you're asking here, to be honest. What's an invalid encrypted file? If I send you an encrypted file containing nothing but random data, the successful decryption of the valid file will be statistically indistinguishable from trying to decrypt it with an incorrect session key. And in some other respects, the OpenPGP standard makes it very easy for an implementation to detect bad or corrupted data and to bail out early. So without knowing precisely what you mean by 'validity', I don't know what to tell you, I'm sorry. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
