If you export your key to a file, you can just paste the text into the web-site input panel and he dumps it for you without you having to download and build pgpdump, e.g., $ gpg -a --export 2D1FA0AA > JoeMoe.asc $ cat JoeMoe.asc # copy and paste into browser panel at pgpdump.net for # analysis Do you REALLY want CAST5 as your preferred symmetric cipher and IDEA as your second choice? $ gpg --edit-key 2D1FA0AA Commmand> setpref AES AES192 AES256 TWOFISH CAST5 3DES \ SHA1 SHA256 SHA512 BZIP2 ZLIB ZIP Uncompressed \ MDC no-ks-modify Command> save $ What you put where and the order is YOUR choice. Only YOU know what you want. No, you cannot ask me for recommendations but if you dump my key you will see my choices. Ergo, the order I gave here and the omission of MD5, SHA224, RIPEMD160 hashes and the BLOWFISH cipher does NOT mean you should exclude them. The line was getting rather long there and you do NOT put in the "\" ... There are short-hand notations for them and Laurent Jumet posted them a little while back (Volume 43, Issue 17 of the Digest). So you can pick your poison of long-hand verus short- hand as well. Isn't that nice? Ta-ta HHH
