Re: Default GPG Encryption Algorithm (symmetric cipher) is?
Thanks to everyone for providing tips, I found the answer at: "The default symmetric cipher used is CAST5" http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/Operational-GPG-Commands.html and used the Ubuntu Terminal to list the ciphers used: Home: ~/.gnupg Supported algorithms: Pubkey: RSA, RSA-E, RSA-S, ELG-E, DSA Cipher: 3DES (S2), CAST5 (S3), BLOWFISH (S4), AES (S7), AES192 (S8), AES256 (S9), TWOFISH (S10), CAMELLIA128 (S11), CAMELLIA192 (S12), CAMELLIA256 (S13) Frank - Original message - From: "Robert J.

Computers are complex beasts. Two installations of the same operating system will be very similar in some ways and very different in others. For some kinds of software, you can get away with saying "the default is...". Security-related software is different: assuming that your installation is just like somebody else's installation is dangerous. If something's important to you, then you need to take steps to take direct control of it. But, since you're asking: by default it's CAST5-128. Don't depend on this. This is what's true on my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS system: it may not be the same for yours. ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

> default-cipher-preferences [algo name] > ... to your ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf file. My bad for sending the last e-mail. While those settings apply to hybrid systems, I don't know if this application generates a keyring, and therefor, those instructions are not very helpful. Sorry.

If it uses GnuPG, then it will respect the rules set by your keyring preferences. You can check the preferences with the command: gpg --edit-key 0xYOURID pref (if you don't know your ID, use gpg --list-secret-keys) It will list what are the preferred ciphers, algorithms for integrity and compression. If you want to change it, and use something else, you can use the following command to see the supported values: gpg --verbose --version After that, you can change your preferences. Edit your key again: gpg --edit-key 0xYOURID and now use the 'setpref' option, respecting the values you got from gpg --verbose --version command. For example: setpref S9 S8 S7 S3 H10 H9 H8 H11 Z3 Z2 Z1 Z0 will configure a UID (these preferences are UID-based) to use: Cipher: AES256, AES192, AES, CAST5, 3DES Digest: SHA512, SHA384, SHA256, SHA224, SHA1 Compression: BZIP2, ZLIB, ZIP, Uncompressed Hope this makes it easier for you to understand and edit to suit your needs. I think I didn't miss anything, but feel free to correct me :) Happy new year list!

Re: Default GPG Encryption Algorithm (symmetric cipher) is?
As mentioned I am a Linux newbie (command line adverse) and like many users of Ubuntu they would not know how access details of what the default symmetric cipher is. Use of the term "default" was provided to mean the one GPG uses without any user intervention IE: Default So at risk of sounding silly, what is the Default symmetric cipher used in GPG under Unbuntu 10.04 LTS?

Forgive what may seem like a silly answer, but "whatever you told GnuPG to use as a default."
