Yes, you can send messages to me, and I am sure other people here will volunteer to test encryption with you. But currently there is a problem with your key... keep reading. > Edit > ps: i did get some warnings on the way, dont know what it really means - > dont hope the secring.asc file was just a "demofile" of some sort?! Well, when I install GPG, the keyrings are empty, so I don't think it comes with a "demo"... > gpg: WARNING: key ECABF51D contains preferences for unavailable > gpg: algorithms on these user IDs: > gpg: "Test three (no pp) <[email protected]>": preference for > cipher algorithm 1 > gpg: it is strongly suggested that you update your preferences and > gpg: re-distribute this key to avoid potential algorithm mismatch problems There are several problems: 1.- I downloaded the key ECABF51D from keyservers, and it doesn't have a subkey for encryption purposes, so you can only sign and certify, but not encrypt/decrypt. 2.- Also, the key lists in it's preferences, the encryption algorithm IDEA (cipher algorithm 1). And GPG doesn't include that algorithm, because it is not free. It seems it can be used for non-business purposes, but I am not really sure about that, so if somebody sends a message to you, and it is encrypted with IDEA, you would be unable to decrypt it (but I think that is not your worst problem, since as long as you don't get encryption capabilities -by adding a subkey capable of encryption- I *think* people won't be able to send encrypted messages to you). You can download idea.dll and configure gpg to use it, but unless you are sure you are not breaking the copyright... I am NOT sure about that, I have read somewhere it was allowed to use it if you are not doing business, but I am not sure about the reliability of the place where I read that. Also, when I tried to find the company that is supposed to hold de copyright, I couldn't find it on internet... (and since I was just curious about it, I didn't keep searching). Last words: I am not sure if you should add a subkey first, and edit preferences latter, or to edit pref first, and add the key latter...
