RSA 4096-bit Key
I am using latest version of GPG. I noticed there is no option to generate RSA 4096-bit key. The same goes with DSA. In older versions of GnuPG, this key size was supported. . Regards, RP ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
GnuPG vs. GPG4Win
In Older versions of GnuPG, a system tray icon used to appear with an option to encrypt text on current window. Newer versions of GnuPG has no such option. I am not understanding the difference between GnuPG and GPG4Win. Are these one and the same thing? Windows binary is not available for download from GnuPG site. ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
Re: GnuPG vs. GPG4Win
Thanks. I downloaded the second item from the link you provided. It has no front-end and the readme file says it can be run only from command-line.

That would come from some frontend or Explorer plugin, not from GnuPG itself. > I am not understanding the difference between GnuPG and GPG4Win. > Are these one and the same thing? GPG4win is GnuPG 2.0.x bundled with a choice of certificate managers, plugins for Outlook and Windows Explorer, and the Gpg4win Compendium documentation. They also have "light" and "vanilla" downloads that eschew some or all of the extras. > Windows binary is not available for download from GnuPG site. Windows binaries for GnuPG versions 2.1.x and 1.4.x are the second and third items listed at <https://gnupg.org/download/index.html#sec-1-2>. The first list item points you to the GPG4win download page. - -- Best regards MFPA <mailto:2014-667rhzu3dc-lists-gro...@riseup.net> It is easy to propose impossible remedies. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- iL4EARYKAGYFAlf4yXlfFIAALgAoaXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3Bl bnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldDMzQUNFRDRFRTkxMzRFRUJERTZBODUwNjE3 MTJCQzQ2MUFGNzc4RTQACgkQFxK8Rhr3eOR2PgEApRaq79a3JIx8w5eTBIn8QnRh h8uxU4uin0PUXPgKZQQA/0j5JyRNqlbmhc2xzuUc8ALK8PdPY+XUzcKXm72KS3AC iQF8BAEBCgBmBQJX+Ml5XxSAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXRCM0FFN0VDQTlBOEM4QjMwMjZBNUEwRjU2 QjdDNzRDRUIzMUYyNUYwAAoJEGt8dM6zHyXwBCUIAIk1Aa9lGYWTp1ka17q1Fzki XVYdXE6PQ+zDmS9D9v5MF1NDI281pkJmxE/fMe7zlxJ0I9QYJMS/XFBX/ZsrXZVE bgwSJpVS2EPGh3WpAZihphImlkMZ59GzK6QVqdYGKuW6J3JaLpdUHV/MNle1g+sK cWgXu9Qa+Jid56MTUnRimqngAFOjKpPBhPcsLgfs7xn7yEC3U/SCae5pUMjt98Lz UKoMrQh1zPMGmArAyn2rSVMlKOzk+7GYC4++GNwXM3YciREuE8WLq+GKYRZu6Fcs xD34jFGxvmMFu0Hk5kJMoEc72+eKrU3P3sf2EAsILCrIS0n12rEnodNgnuUgAzU= =ymqs -END PGP SIGNATURE- --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
Re: Why GnuPG encrypted file has no icon?
I am using Windows 7. Icons are there on all files. What I actually meant is when a file is encrypted with GnuPG, the resultant .pgp file has no icon. From: Paul R.

I don't know which operating system you are using here, but icons are usually set for files that have known data types or file extensions. It has to do with your operating system or desktop environment not GnuPG. Apparently your operating system (probably Windows) does not have icons assigned for these types of files.

Why GnuPG encrypted file has no icon?
When you encrypt multiple files in a folder, GnuPG encrypted files have no icon. It is difficult to immediately identify which are the encrypted files. Any specific reason why encrypted files have no icon? ... RP ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
Re: Why GnuPG encrypted file has no icon?
@MFPA: I guess .asc extension is only when you select "ASCII Armor" option. If you don't select this option it is .pgp. Not sure. I tried "Open With", but don't know which .exe to select to associate .pgp extension.

If Windows has an application associated with the file extension, the file will be shown with that application's icon. And double-clicking the file will cause that application to perform a default action on that file, for example double-clicking a .txt file on a Windows machine will usually open the file using Notepad. You could try right-clicking one of your .gpg files and selecting "open with", keeping the "always use this app" box ticked, click "more apps", and select GnuPG. (It might show as "GnuPG's OpenPGP Tool".) Not sure why you get .pgp files; I get .asc. - -- Best regards MFPA <mailto:2014-667rhzu3dc-lists-gro...@riseup.net> Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at statistics! -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- iQF8BAEBCgBmBQJX76e+XxSAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXRCM0FFN0VDQTlBOEM4QjMwMjZBNUEwRjU2 QjdDNzRDRUIzMUYyNUYwAAoJEGt8dM6zHyXwPjQIAIf131Iczm1T00j/cvuVSECT G/J5fMSWWgvfKau+2X6RpfVjgDpy9MMFhM4vf0AwhIoDwyYdlZ2srZ+r4iLJPkoW gjNQwI1lAG2K795TiVBrs3GrwV2OLnoCMaCdPa5jFUwkW5P0JRFMrj+9d/oFWiqh /72PWP2PkD81P7HgXy/86FrLBZ/lwPU1Ocx/Ew+2Gooj3vYSTEARYk/NnMTAqcwO SOo2t6yFUDEF7hTnMTVeAIA7f7neb5fOhTEVVZf1k+h3WFsEtcS0u2NkbDk0wVwt x4daONNQonBgQdbxKVScuqBqJI/ZEG6QcYQx+8qE8Q6GXwhKMD6sRDv6zly9LOiI vgQBFgoAZgUCV++nvl8UgAAuAChpc3N1ZXItZnByQG5vdGF0aW9ucy5vcGVu cGdwLmZpZnRoaG9yc2VtYW4ubmV0MzNBQ0VENEVFOTEzNEVFQkRFNkE4NTA2MTcx MkJDNDYxQUY3NzhFNAAKCRAXErxGGvd45JfkAQCgCV+0Hst3ykF6q0uYGJQsp2Eu cv+DKvX4yb37duVzHQEAy2KF9EFSvtJxqk4QblE7P7x8hGpVSJtakVO3CHC44QI= =awAg -END PGP SIGNATURE- --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
