If you import a key that has been revoked by a designated revoker, it seems that it does not show as revoked unless the public key of the designated revoker is also on the keyring. I don't know if this is a bug or a feature.
To demonstrate this: Generate a key named testkey Add a designated revoker to testkey. Use the designated revoker key to generate a designated revocation certificate. Import the designated revocation certificate. Export testkey to a file. Export the key of the designated revoker to another file. Change to a clean copy of gpg by setting the GNUPGHOME variable to point to an empty directory. Import the file that testkey was exported to. Observe that list-key does not show testkey as revoked. You can also encrypt messages to testkey. Import the public key for the designated revoker. Observe that list-key now shows testkey as revoked. This is using Gnupg 1.4.6 for Windows. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
