A GnuPG "key" isn't just one piece of data. It's a whole lot of pieces of data. All GnuPG keys -- what we should really call "certificates" -- have a signing key. That's the most basic, fundamental thing in the certificate. If you want to be able to encrypt, you have to add an encryption subkey. Up until GnuPG 1.4.10, GnuPG would create a DSA signing key and an ElGamal encryption key for you as one single operation. You executed "--gen-key", and GnuPG created the signing key, added the encryption subkey, and you were done. RSA was considered to be for advanced users. Advanced users were believed to be capable of generating their signing key, and then adding their own encryption key later. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
