hello
i'm trying this from the doc/DETAILS
$ cat >foo <<EOF
%echo Generating a standard key
Key-Type: DSA
Key-Length: 1024
Subkey-Type: ELG-E
Subkey-Length: 1024
Name-Real: Joe Tester
Name-Comment: with stupid passphrase
Name-Email: joe at foo.bar
Expire-Date: 0
Passphrase: abc
%pubring foo.pub
%secring foo.sec
# Do a commit here, so that we can later print
"done" :-)
%commit
%echo done
EOF
$ gpg --batch --gen-key -a foo
[...]
$ gpg --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring foo.sec \
--keyring foo.pub
--list-secret-keys
but instead of this output:
sec 1024D/915A878D 2000-03-09 Joe Tester (with stupid
passphrase) <joe at foo.bar>
ssb 1024g/8F70E2C0 2000-03-09
i just got this:
gpg: Warning: using insecure memory!
gpg: /home/peter/.gnupg/foo.sec: keyring created
gpg: /home/peter/.gnupg/foo.pub: keyring created
i tried to sign files using foo.sec but it won't work
it seems that the keyrings are not even open...
well when i run
gpg --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring foo.sec
--keyring foo.pub --list-secret-keys
for second time i got not output at all just
gpg: Warning: using insecure memory!
[peter at love1 foo]$
i want to sign a file without importing key to my
keyring, and i need my customer to verify signature
without installing public key to his keyring. Just
simple command line interface. Ideally in batch file
i want to use foo.pub and foo.sec in the current
direcotory not /home/user/.gnupg
so i modified my script:gpg --no-default-keyring
--secret-keyring ./foo.sec --keyring ./foo.pub
--list-secret-keys
but i got this...
gpg: Warning: using insecure memory!
gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=2d)
gpg: read_keyblock: read error: invalid packet
gpg: enum_keyblocks(read) failed: invalid keyring
can anyone help me please?
