Decrypt data corruption (DUPLICATE)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

First post, so please forgive any noob mistakes in etiquette. (gpg version
updated) I haven't found any posts with similar issues.

Im dealing with an issue while decrypting data from a vendor, that just
recently began to fail after they started using something called "MoveIT
application". I cant get too much out of them on how the process chqanged
on their side. There is no error to reference, but the resulting text is
different. it is only this one vendor where i have a problem, and it is
only when decrypting their data in a script.
When using cmd line, the desired results are returned.

In an AIX shell script, This common command is used for many different
files.

--no-secmem-warning --homedir $GPG_HOME --no-tty -d -o
$LOCAL_DIR/$DECRYPTED_FILE $LOCAL_FILE

What I get, some characters might be missing or replaced with ascii garbage,
or newline/CR might be missing, turning multiple 200 char records into a
single 50,000 car record.

but this only happens in script, and only for one particular vendor. The
exact block of data decrypts properly when I am in telnet, or use gpg4win.
We have tried changing ciphers, and i even sent them a new key, with no
change in result.

Any ideas on what might be in their data or their encryption method that
might make my decryption garble the results?
