Is it possible to make OpenSSL and GnuPG (for key generation for instance) use the output of that TRNG as source of randomness? Even better: make these tools making a "mix" of their original randomness source (/dev/random I suppose) and the TRNG source?

Jun 1, 2015 · But be aware, that GnuPG will automatically add 3DES, SHA1, uncompressed and those are the minimum set of algorithms all implementations must or should support.

Feb 1, 2021 · I cannot seem to get gnupg to decrypt files encrypted with my keys. I've tried migrating my secret key from an old laptop to a new one, and I keep getting the same error: gpg: decryption failed: No

Apr 18, 2015 · I know, that one can force GnuPG to use AES256 for encryption with gpg --cipher-algo AES256 or with a special setting in ~/.gnu/gpg.conf. But, what is the default cypher algorithm for GnuPG, if I...

The GnuPG FAQ has an opinion, too: 11.10 What are the best algorithms in GnuPG? MD5 and SHA-1 should be avoided if possible, and for bulk encryption it’s best to use Camellia, Twofish, or AES. Beyond that guidance there is no “best algorithm” in GnuPG.

Oct 9, 2013 · There are three main reasons why you may want to have separate keys: Not all key types can be used for both encryption and signature. OpenPGP (the format that GnuPG implements) primarily supports RSA, ElGamal and DSA; ElGamal is encrypt-only, while DSA is sign-only. RSA can do both; however, there was a time when RSA was still patented, and …

Aug 26, 2022 · I want to use a GPG key instead of an SSH key. Looking online I found several guides on how to do it. But these guides are about using GPG for convenience. I instead want to know the pros and cons ...

Dec 18, 2015 · With other words, GnuPG explains you that while the signature is issued by a totally valid key, the key could have issued by anybody (you can create keys for arbitrary mail addresses, there is no central instance verifying them, especially key servers do not do!).

Jul 22, 2020 · Commonly used cryptosystems like RSA or ECC, on the other hand, will be broken if and when quantum computers become available. - https://tbuktu.github.io/ntru/ How can we introduce NTRU in GPG and...

Dec 9, 2015 · What is the most secure way to store my private PGP keys?
