 If I determine that my work PC and my home PC are both trusted systems,

 keyrings that I want to use on both, then I don't see the risk so long
 as that USB stick is never plugged into an untrusted machine.

That is right.  However you would only keep your data on the stick and
not the programs.  All systems these day have a package management
system, and those are better at program updates than doing it manually.

My point was that people very often talk about encrypted super secure
USB sticks which they put it into an arbitrary computer and believe that
the data and programs magically work secure this way.  They don't
consider that a foreign CPU is seeing everything they stored on the
stick.

After opening file with GPG Tools any file can be opened w.o. pwd

2011-09-21 Thread Vortran66

I have GPG Tools 20110711 installed on a MacAir running Snow Leopard. 

 If I right click an encrypted file I get a services menu item Open PGP:
Decrypt.  Selecting that will decrypt the file properly.  My problem is
this.  Once that file is decrypted I can click on any file that was
encrypted with the same key and it will open without asking for the
password.  If I wait a very long time 20 minutes plus, or shut down and
restart the computer the behavior stops.

Is there a way to require the password every time I try and decrypt a file. 
The current situation presents a security risk as opening one file
essentially unlocks all files encrypted with the same key.

 Should I subscribe to the gnupg-devel@ mailing list to post?  Can this
 information be added to the listinfo page, please?

 Not necessarily.  I believe that this is just greylisting in action -
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greylisting

I know what and how greylisting works, which is exactly what happened in
the log above.  The problem is that there is no sign of my email above,
not even the in-moderation notification.  I will try to re-send it...

I found the answer to my first question in the mailing list webpage, so
this is purely my fault, it seems I completely missed the other part of
that page.  Short story: all GnuPG mailing lists are subscribers-only:

  http://gnupg.org/documentation/mailing-lists.en.html

I still think that this information should be added to the listinfo
pages as well, but this is another matter.

Sorry for the noise.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca

gpgkeymgr 0.3 released

2011-09-21 Thread Michael Florian Schönitzer
I've released version 0.3 of my tool gpgkeymgr today.

With gpgkeymgr you can clean up and manage your GnuPGP-keyring, by 
removing old and unnecessary keys.

There haven't been any new bigger features, but I have an French 
translation (thanks to jbar), German translation of program and manpage, 
some smaller improvements and probably most important an improved 
makefile working on more different Systems without problems.

Hi,

Caching in gpg-agent is responsible for this. You can configure its cache entry
TTL values. Look for cache settings in gpg-agent.conf (to be created in your
GnuPG homedir. You may want to set default-ttl to some seconds only (or 0?).

Sending such notification back to the spammers is not a good idea.  You
either have to wait - or better - subscribe to the ML.

gnupg2.x // adding subkeys - possible only from commandline ?

Have been playing with gpg4win, and installed everything according 
to the defaults.

Cannot get Kleopatra or GPA to add a subkey, 
but can easily do it from the commandline.

 There is a unique advantage to running gnupg from cygwin on 
 windows, as it's the only way to make use of unix-like commands,
 (cat, grep, printf, etc.) and pipe them to and from gnupg.

ONLY? How much effort did you expend looking?

The MinGW compiler folks provide a little environment called MSYS, for Minimal
System. It's not meant to be a full-on environment like Cygwin, even though it's
a fork of an earlier Cygwin, but provides bash and enough tools to run most
configure scripts and do a reasonable amount of work.  BTW, it's faster than
Cygwin because it's emulating less.
IIRC, Mozilla based their Windows build environment on MSYS.

In addition, there is Microsoft's Services for Unix which is the old Interix
product. I think one may still download 3.5 for XP. cc looks for CL.EXE on the
$PATH. gcc 3.3 is included. Lots of stuff available from the user site.
Certain server levels of Vista and Windows 7 have SFU built-in. It cannot be
installed separately on these OSes.

Another alternative is UWIN, from ATT's David Korn and Glenn Fowler.
(Umm, yeah /THAT/ Dave Korn.) One used to be able to point cc to either the
MinGW gcc or to MS' CL. I haven't used it in a while.

That's just from memory.

In addition to John's offerings, don't forget http://gnuwin32.sf.net.
Most of the GNU tools exist in native Win32 builds.  Some of them are a
bit old (e.g., their flex is 2.5.4a, current is 2.5.34, their gawk is
3.1.6 and current is 4.0.0, etc.), but they generally work quite well.
