Dear Fellow Gnupg users,

I recently grew more knowlegeable about of the different ciphers and 
compression methods. I already generated my secret key but would like to change 
the symmetric encryption protecting the secret key. I put the following in my 
gpg.conf:

s2k-cipher-algo AES256

and then I updated my password with gpg --edit-key, passwd. Is that enough to 
update the cipher on my private key? If not, what should I be doing? Is there 
also a way to detect the encryption algorithm on a file? Any help with these 
questions is appreciated.

Sincerely,
--
