Hi Team,

Could you please help me to understand the following query.

We are using gpg encryption method for encryption and decryption in our 
application. We have generated the keypairs on server A and public key is 
imported on server B also a passphrase say "Strange" was provided while 
generating the key.

Now I am trying to encrypt the file on server B using this public key, I am 
able to do so without any matter I pass the passphrase or not.

So my ask is, if a key pair is generated with passphrase it won't restrict the 
encryption incase incorrect passphrase or no passphrase is passed? Also I was 
able to encrypt the file on server B by providing any random passphrase, but 
decryption is possible with correct passphrase only.

Many Thanks for your help.


Regards,
Vikash Kumar
