man page refers to conventional encryption -- does this mean symmetric?
Hi GnuPG folks-- I just noticed that a couple places in doc/DETAILS and doc/gpg.texi refer to conventional encryption. Does this mean symmetric encryption or something else? More concretely, i'm assuming it refers to SKESK[0]-prefixed SEIPD[1] packets. Is this correct? In 2015, i'm not sure whether this is any more conventional than PKESK-prefixed SEIPD packets. Should the term be explained somewhere? --dkg [0] Symmetric-Key Encrypted Session Key Packets https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4880#section-5.3 [1] Symmetrically-Encrypted Integrity Protected Data packets https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4880#section-5.13 signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
