When you say that you have two keys, do you mean two *primary* keys? If so, each primary key probably has an encryption *subkey* (automatically generated by GnuPG, that has been the default behavior of GnuPG for a very long time), so you end up with four private keys. As for the fact that you see "different hashes", that's because `gpg --list-keys` prints out the *fingerprints*, whereas gpg-agent's keyinfo command prints out the *keygrips*. A fingerprint and a keygrip are both hashes of a public key, but they are computed differently and don't serve the same purpose. Fingerprints are specified by the OpenPGP format and uniquely identify an OpenPGP key. Keygrips are used internally by gpg-agent to uniquely identify a key independently of any protocol. Damien
