problems during ./configure.

2002-10-21 Werner Koch <wk@gnupg.org>
* configure.ac (try_gettext): Remove special case for cygwin.
This removes all the DOS specific macros and let Cygwin work like
a real OS. Needs a couple of changes elsewhere but after all,
GnuPG presents itself much more like a Posix program and can be
used in a full Cygwin environment; e.g. used along with mutt.
Changes suggested by Volker Quetschke.

Add a "LDAPLIBS" variable so users can try and suggest the right
dependencies for their platform.
2002-10-02 David Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com>
* configure.ac: Make "new" the default for TIGER. Still use
--enable-new-tiger to select new from autoconf.

TIGER with the correct OID.

HPUX. Remove "hstrerror" test as it is no longer needed.
2002-09-02 Werner Koch <wk@gnupg.org>
* README: Removed the note about a development version so that we
later don't forget this. Minor other changes.

* NEWS: changes since 1.0.7.
* configure.ac: Set new version number (1.1.90), and fix Solaris
compiler flags for shared objects.
2002-06-11 David Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com>
* configure.ac: Move -lsocket and -lnsl checks before LDAP link
tests so they work properly on Solaris. Noted by David Champion.
Also, check for the Mozilla LDAP library if the OpenLDAP library
check fails. Put -lsocket and -lnsl in NETLIBS rather than LIBS
so not all programs are forced to link to them.
2002-06-05 David Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com>
* configure.ac: Add a switch for the experimental external HKP
keyserver interface.
2002-05-22 Werner Koch <wk@gnupg.org>

stricmp and memicmp checks.
2002-05-08 David Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com>
* configure.ac: If LDAP comes up unusable, try #including <lber.h>
before giving up. Old versions of OpenLDAP require that.
2002-05-03 David Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com>
* configure.ac: In g10defs.h, use \ for the directory separator
when HAVE_DOSISH_SYSTEM is on.
* configure.ac: Add --disable-exec flag to disable all remote
program execution. --disable-exec implies --disable-ldap and
--disable-mailto. Also look in /usr/lib for sendmail. If
sendmail is not found, do not default - just fail.
2002-04-30 David Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com>
* configure.ac: Try and link to a sample LDAP program to check if
the LDAP we're about to use is really sane. The most common
problem (using a very old OpenLDAP), could be fixed with an extra
#include, but this would not be very portable to other LDAP
libraries.
2002-04-29 Werner Koch <wk@gnupg.org>
Released 1.0.7.
* README: Fixed some minor things.
2002-04-25 Werner Koch <wk@gnupg.org>

* configure.ac (ALL_LINGUAS): s/pt_PT/pt/
2002-03-04 David Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com>
* Add a AC_DEFINE(_GNU_SOURCE). Since this is always defined in
config.h, the various autoconf tests should be tested with it
enabled. This also works around a compiler warning caused by a
minor header bug in glibc 2.1 that causes fseeko to be defined
when building gpg, but not when tested for in configure.
2002-03-03 Werner Koch <wk@gnupg.org>
Release 1.0.6d snapshot.

2001-12-18 Werner Koch <wk@gnupg.org>

(dist-hook): Only look in mpi and scripts for distfiles; this way
we don't include those of a stale "make dist" directory.
2001-10-23 Werner Koch <wk@gnupg.org>
Released 1.0.6b snapshot.

2001-08-22 Werner Koch <wk@gnupg.org>

* configure.ac: Use regular tests for -lsocket and -lnsl,
more thorough test for gethrtime, allow specifying the path to

2001-07-09 Werner Koch <wk@gnupg.org>
Migrated to autoconf 2.50.
* acinclude.m4: Removed the temporary LFS macros and GNUPG_LINK_FILES.
* acconfig.h: Removed
* configure.in: Replaced by...
* configure.ac: and modified for use with autoconf 2.50, use a
literal string for the version number. Replaced GNUPG_LINK_FILES
with AC_CONFIG_LINKS and moved some informational messages to the end.
* VERSION: Removed.
* Makefile.am (DISTCLEANFILES): gettext is better now; no more
need to remove the libintl.h symlink.
(dist-hook): Create VERSION file.

Noteworthy changes in version 1.2.2 (unreleased)
------------------------------------------------
* A "convert-from-106" script has been added. This is a simple
script that automates the conversion from a 1.0.6 or earlier
version of GnuPG to a 1.0.7 or later version.
* Notation names that do not contain a '@' are no longer allowed
unless --expert is set. This is to help prevent pollution of
the (as yet unused) IETF notation namespace.
* A "--trust-model always" option has been added to smooth the
transition to a future GnuPG that has multiple trust models.
This is identical to the current "--always-trust" option.
* Care is taken to prevent compiler optimization from removing
memory wiping code.
* New option --no-mangle-dos-filenames so that filenames are not
truncated in the W32 version.
* Disabled keys are now skipped when selecting keys for
encryption. If you are using the --with-colons key listings to
detect disabled keys, please see doc/DETAILS for a minor format
change in this release.
* Minor trustdb changes to make the trust calculations match
common usage.
* New translations: Finnish, Hungarian, Slovak, Traditional Chinese.
* New command "revuid" in the --edit-key menu to revoke a user ID.
This is a simpler interface to the old method (which still
works) of revoking the user ID self-signature.
* Fixed a compatibility problem with CryptoEx by increasing the
window size of the uncompressor.
* Status VALIDSIG does now also print the primary key's
fingerprint, as well as the signature version, pubkey algorithm,
hash algorithm, and signature class.
* Add read-only support for the SHA-256 hash, and optional
read-only support for the SHA-384 and SHA-512 hashes.
* New option --enable-progress-filter for use with frontends.
+ * Note that the TIGER/192 digest algorithm is in the process of
+ being dropped from the OpenPGP standard. While this release of
+ GnuPG still contains it, it is disabled by default. To ensure
+ you will still be able to use your messages with future versions
+ of GnuPG and other OpenPGP programs, please do not use this
+ algorithm.
+
Noteworthy changes in version 1.2.1 (2002-10-25)
------------------------------------------------
* The library dependencies for OpenLDAP seem to change fairly
frequently, and GnuPG's configure script cannot guess all the
combinations. Use ./configure LDAPLIBS="-L libdir -l libs" to
override the script and use the libraries selected.
* Secret keys generated with --export-secret-subkeys are now
indicated in key listings with a '#' after the "sec", and in
--with-colons listings by showing no capabilities (no lowercase
characters).
* --trusted-key has been un-obsoleted, as it is useful for adding
ultimately trusted keys from the config file. It is identical
to using --edit and "trust" to change a key to ultimately
trusted.
* The usual bug fixes as well as fixes to build problems on some
systems.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.2.0 (2002-09-21)
------------------------------------------------
* There are quite some changes since the release of 1.0.7
about 5 months ago. Please see the entries below.
* This is a stable release and we won't add new features. New
versions might be released to fix bugs, though. Development
continues in the 1.3 branch and we also plan to open another
branch to work on a new modularized code base.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.1.92 (2002-09-11)
-------------------------------------------------
* [IMPORTANT] The default configuration file is now
~/.gnupg/gpg.conf. If an old ~/.gnupg/options is found it will
still be used. This change is required to have a more
consistent naming scheme with forthcoming tools.
* The use of MDCs have increased. A MDC will be used if the
recipients directly request it, if the recipients have AES,
AES192, AES256, or TWOFISH in their cipher preferences, or if
the chosen cipher has a blocksize not equal to 64 bits
(currently this is also AES, AES192, AES256, and TWOFISH).
* GnuPG will no longer automatically disable compression when
processing an already-compressed file unless a MDC is being
used. This is to give the message a certain amount of
resistance to the chosen-ciphertext attack while communicating
with other programs (most commonly PGP earlier than version 7.x)
that do not support MDCs.
* The option --interactive now has the desired effect when
importing keys.
* The file permission and ownership checks on files have been
clarified. Specifically, the homedir (usually ~/.gnupg) is
checked to protect everything within it. If the user specifies
keyrings outside this homedir, they are presumed to be shared
keyrings and therefore *not* checked. Configuration files
specified with the --options option and the IDEA cipher
extension specified with --load-extension are checked, along
with their enclosing directories.
* The configure option --with-static-rnd=auto allows to build gpg
with all available entropy gathering modules included. At
runtime the best usable one will be selected from the list
linux, egd, unix. This is also the default for systems lacking
a /dev/random device.
* The default character set is now taken from the current locale;
it can still be overridden by the --charset option. Using the
option -vvv shows the used character set.
* [REMOVED] --emulate-checksum-bug and --emulate-3des-s2k-bug have
been removed.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.1.91 (2002-08-04)
-------------------------------------------------
* All modules are now linked statically; the --load-extension
option is in general not useful anymore. The only exception is
to specify the deprecated idea cipher.
* The IDEA plugin has changed. Previous versions of the IDEA
plugin will no longer work with GnuPG. However, the current
version of the plugin will work with earlier GnuPG versions.
* When using --batch with one of the --delete-key commands, the
key must be specified by fingerprint. See the man page for
details.
* There are now various ways to restrict the ability GnuPG has to
exec external programs (for the keyserver helpers or photo ID
viewers). Read the README file for the complete list.
* New export option to leave off attribute packets (photo IDs)
during export. This is useful when exporting to HKP keyservers
which do not understand attribute packets.
* New import option to repair during import the HKP keyserver
mangling multiple subkeys bug. Note that this cannot completely
repair the damaged key as some crucial data is removed by the
keyserver, but it does at least give you back one subkey. This
is on by default for keyserver --recv-keys, and off by default
for regular --import.
* The keyserver helper programs now live in
/usr/[local/]libexec/gnupg by default. If you are upgrading
from 1.0.7, you might want to delete your old copies in
/usr/[local/]bin. If you use an OS that does not use libexec
for whatever reason, use configure --libexecdir=/usr/local/lib
to place the keyserver helpers there.
* The LDAP keyserver handler now works properly with very old
(version 1) LDAP keyservers.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.1.90 (2002-07-01)
-------------------------------------------------
* New commands: --personal-cipher-preferences,
--personal-digest-preferences, and
--personal-compress-preferences allow the user to specify which
algorithms are to be preferred. Note that this does not permit
using an algorithm that is not present in the recipient's
preferences (which would violate the OpenPGP standard). This
just allows sorting the preferences differently.
* New "group" command to refer to several keys with one name.
* A warning is issued if the user forces the use of an algorithm
that is not listed in the recipient's preferences.
* Full revocation key (aka "designated revoker") support.
* The preferred hash algorithms on a key are consulted when
encrypting a signed message to that key. Note that this is
disabled by default by a SHA1 preference in
--personal-digest-preferences.
* --cert-digest-algo allows the user to specify the hash algorithm
to use when signing a key rather than the default SHA1 (or MD5
for PGP2 keys). Do not use this feature unless you fully
understand the implications of this.
* --pgp7 mode automatically sets all necessary options to ensure
that the resulting message will be usable by a user of PGP 7.x.
* New --attribute-fd command for frontends and scripts to get the
contents of attribute packets (i.e. photos)
* In expert mode, the user can now re-sign a v3 key with a v4
self-signature. This does not change the v3 key into a v4 key,
but it does allow the user to use preferences, primary ID flags,
etc.
* Significantly improved photo ID support on non-unixlike
platforms.
* The version number has jumped ahead to 1.1.90 to skip over the
old version 1.1 and to get ready for the upcoming 1.2.
* ElGamal sign and encrypt is not anymore allowed in the key
generation dialog unless in expert mode. RSA sign and encrypt
has been added with the same restrictions.
* [W32] Keyserver access does work with Windows NT.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.0.7 (2002-04-29)
------------------------------------------------
* Secret keys are now stored and exported in a new format which
uses SHA-1 for integrity checks. This format renders the
Rosa/Klima attack useless. Other OpenPGP implementations might
not yet support this, so the option --simple-sk-checksum creates
the old vulnerable format.
* The default cipher algorithm for encryption is now CAST5,
default hash algorithm is SHA-1. This will give us better
interoperability with other OpenPGP implementations.
* Symmetric encrypted messages now use a fixed file size if
possible. This is a tradeoff: it breaks PGP 5, but fixes PGP 2,
6, and 7. Note this was only an issue with RFC-1991 style
symmetric messages.
* Photographic user ID support. This uses an external program to
view the images.
* Enhanced keyserver support via keyserver "plugins". GnuPG comes
with plugins for the NAI LDAP keyserver as well as the HKP email
keyserver. It retains internal support for the HKP HTTP
keyserver.
* Nonrevocable signatures are now supported. If a user signs a
key nonrevocably, this signature cannot be taken back so be
careful!
* Multiple signature classes are usable when signing a key to
specify how carefully the key information (fingerprint, photo
ID, etc) was checked.
* --pgp2 mode automatically sets all necessary options to ensure
that the resulting message will be usable by a user of PGP 2.x.
* --pgp6 mode automatically sets all necessary options to ensure
that the resulting message will be usable by a user of PGP 6.x.
* Signatures may now be given an expiration date. When signing a
key with an expiration date, the user is prompted whether they
want their signature to expire at the same time.
* Revocation keys (designated revokers) are now supported if
present. There is currently no way to designate new keys as
designated revokers.
* Permissions on the .gnupg directory and its files are checked
for safety.
* --expert mode enables certain silly things such as signing a
revoked user id, expired key, or revoked key.
* Some fixes to build cleanly under Cygwin32.
* New tool gpgsplit to split OpenPGP data formats into packets.
* New option --preserve-permissions.
* Subkeys created in the future are not used for encryption or
signing unless the new option --ignore-valid-from is used.
* Revoked user-IDs are not listed unless signatures are listed too
or we are in verbose mode.
* There is no default comment string with ascii armors anymore
except for revocation certificates and --enarmor mode.
* The command "primary" in the edit menu can be used to change the
primary UID, "setpref" and "updpref" can be used to change the
preferences.
* Fixed the preference handling; since 1.0.5 they were erroneously
matched against against the latest user ID and not the given one.
* RSA key generation.
* Merged Stefan's patches for RISC OS in. See comments in
scripts/build-riscos.
* It is now possible to sign and conventional encrypt a message (-cs).
* The MDC feature flag is supported and can be set by using
the "updpref" edit command.
* The status messages GOODSIG and BADSIG are now returning the primary
UID, encoded using %XX escaping (but with spaces left as spaces,
so that it should not break too much)
* Support for GDBM based keyrings has been removed.
* The entire keyring management has been revamped.
* The way signature stati are store has changed so that v3
signatures can be supported. To increase the speed of many
operations for existing keyrings you can use the new
--rebuild-keydb-caches command.
* The entire key validation process (trustdb) has been revamped.
See the man page entries for --update-trustdb, --check-trustdb
and --no-auto-check-trustdb.
* --trusted-keys is again obsolete, --edit can be used to set the
ownertrust of any key to ultimately trusted.
* A subkey is never used to sign keys.
* Read only keyrings are now handled as expected.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.0.6 (2001-05-29)
------------------------------------------------
* Security fix for a format string bug in the tty code.
* Fixed format string bugs in all PO files.
* Removed Russian translation due to too many bugs. The FTP
server has an unofficial but better translation in the contrib
directory.
* Fixed expire time calculation and keyserver access.
* The usual set of minor bug fixes and enhancements.
* non-writable keyrings are now correctly handled.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.0.5 (2001-04-29)
------------------------------------------------
* WARNING: The semantics of --verify have changed to address a
problem with detached signature detection. --verify now ignores
signed material given on stdin unless this is requested by using
a "-" as the name for the file with the signed material. Please
check all your detached signature handling applications and make
sure that they don't pipe the signed material to stdin without
using a filename together with "-" on the the command line.
* WARNING: Corrected hash calculation for input data larger than
512M - it was just wrong, so you might notice bad signature in
some very big files. It may be wise to keep an old copy of
GnuPG around.
* Secret keys are no longer imported unless you use the new option
--allow-secret-key-import. This is a kludge and future versions will
handle it in another way.
* New command "showpref" in the --edit-key menu to show an easier
to understand preference listing.
* There is now the notation of a primary user ID. For example, it
is printed with a signature verification as the first user ID;
revoked user IDs are not printed there anymore. In general the
primary user ID is the one with the latest self-signature.
* New --charset=utf-8 to bypass all internal conversions.
* Large File Support (LFS) is now working.
* New options: --ignore-crc-error, --no-sig-create-check,
--no-sig-cache, --fixed_list_mode, --no-expensive-trust-checks,
--enable-special-filenames and --use-agent. See man page.
* New command --pipemode, which can be used to run gpg as a
co-process. Currently only the verification of detached
signatures are working. See doc/DETAILS.
* Keyserver support for the W32 version.
* Rewritten key selection code so that GnuPG can better cope with
multiple subkeys, expire dates and so. The drawback is that it
is slower.
* A whole lot of bug fixes.
* The verification status of self-signatures are now cached. To
increase the speed of key list operations for existing keys you
can do the following in your GnuPG homedir (~/.gnupg):
cp pubring.gpg pubring.gpg.save && gpg --export-all >x && \
rm pubring.gpg && gpg --import x
Only v4 keys (i.e not the old RSA keys) benefit from this caching.
* New translations: Estonian, Turkish.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.0.4 (2000-10-17)
------------------------------------------------
* Fixed a serious bug which could lead to false signature verification
results when more than one signature is fed to gpg. This is the
primary reason for releasing this version.
* New utility gpgv which is a stripped down version of gpg to
be used to verify signatures against a list of trusted keys.
* Rijndael (AES) is now supported and listed with top preference.
* --with-colons now works with --print-md[s].
Noteworthy changes in version 1.0.3 (2000-09-18)
------------------------------------------------
* Fixed problems with piping to/from other MS-Windows software
* Expiration time of the primary key can be changed again.
* Revoked user IDs are now marked in the output of --list-key
* New options --show-session-key and --override-session-key
to help the British folks to somewhat minimize the danger
of this Orwellian RIP bill.
* New options --merge-only and --try-all-secrets.
* New configuration option --with-egd-socket.
* The --trusted-key option is back after it left us with 0.9.5
* RSA is supported. Key generation does not yet work but will come
soon.
* CAST5 and SHA-1 are now the default algorithms to protect the key
and for symmetric-only encryption. This should solve a couple
of compatibility problems because the old algorithms are optional
according to RFC2440
* Twofish and MDC enhanced encryption is now used. PGP 7 supports
this. Older versions of GnuPG don't support it, so they should be
upgraded to at least 1.0.2
Noteworthy changes in version 1.0.2 (2000-07-12)
----------------------------------------------
* Fixed expiration handling of encryption keys.
* Add an experimental feature to do unattended key generation.
* The user is now asked for the reason of revocation as required
by the new OpenPGP draft.
* There is a ~/.gnupg/random_seed file now which saves the
state of the internal RNG and increases system performance
somewhat. This way the full entropy source is only used in
cases were it is really required.
Use the option --no-random-seed-file to disable this feature.
* New options --ignore-time-conflict and --lock-never.
* Some fixes for the W32 version.
* The entropy.dll is not anymore used by the W32 version but replaced
by code derived from Cryptlib.
* Encryption is now much faster: About 2 times for 1k bit keys
and 8 times for 4k keys.
* New encryption keys are generated in a way which allows a much
faster decryption.
* New command --export-secret-subkeys which outputs the
the _primary_ key with it's secret parts deleted. This is
useful for automated decryption/signature creation as it
allows to keep the real secret primary key offline and
thereby protecting the key certificates and allowing to
create revocations for the subkeys. See the FAQ for a
procedure to install such secret keys.
* Keygeneration now writes to the first writeable keyring or
as default to the one in the homedirectory. Prior versions
ignored all --keyring options.
* New option --command-fd to take user input from a file descriptor;
to be used with --status-fd by software which uses GnuPG as a backend.
* There is a new status PROGRESS which is used to show progress during
key generation.
* Support for the new MDC encryption packets. To create them either
--force-mdc must be use or cipher algorithm with a blocksize other
than 64 bits is to be used. --openpgp currently disables MDC packets
entirely. This option should not yet be used.
* New option --no-auto-key-retrieve to disable retrieving of
a missing public key from a keyserver, when a keyserver has been set.
* Danish translation
Noteworthy changes in version 1.0.1 (1999-12-16)
-----------------------------------
* New command --verify-files. New option --fast-list-mode.
* $http_proxy is now used when --honor-http-proxy is set.
* Fixed some minor bugs and the problem with conventional encrypted
packets which did use the gpg v3 partial length headers.
* Add Indonesian and Portugese translations.
* Fixed a bug with symmetric-only encryption using the non-default 3DES.
The option --emulate-3des-s2k-bug may be used to decrypt documents
which have been encrypted this way; this should be done immediately
as this workaround will be remove in 1.1
* Can now handle (but not display) PGP's photo IDs. I don't know the
format of that packet but after stripping a few bytes from the start
it looks like a JPEG (at least my test data). Handling of this
package is required because otherwise it would mix up the
self signatures and you can't import those keys.
* Passing non-ascii user IDs on the commandline should now work in all
cases.
* New keys are now generated with an additional preference to Blowfish.
* Removed the GNU Privacy Handbook from the distribution as it will go
into a separate one.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.0.0 (1999-09-07)
-----------------------------------
* Add a very preliminary version of the GNU Privacy Handbook to
the distribution (lynx doc/gph/index.html).
* Changed the version number to GnuPG 2001 ;-)
Noteworthy changes in version 0.9.11
------------------------------------
* UTF-8 strings are now correctly printed (if --charset is set correctly).
Output of --with-colons remains C-style escaped UTF-8.
* Workaround for a problem with PGP 5 detached signature in textmode.
* Fixed a problem when importing new subkeys (duplicated signatures).
Noteworthy changes in version 0.9.10
------------------------------------
* Some strange new options to help pgpgpg
* Cleaned up the dox a bit.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.9.9
-----------------------------------
* New options --[no-]utf8-strings.
* New edit-menu commands "enable" and "disable" for entire keys.
* You will be asked for a filename if gpg cannot deduce one.
* Changes to support libtool which is needed for the development
of libgcrypt.
* New script tools/lspgpot to help transferring assigned
trustvalues from PGP to GnuPG.
* New commands --lsign-key and made --sign-key a shortcut for --edit
and sign.
* New options (#122--126 ;-) --[no-]default-recipient[-self],
--disable-{cipher,pubkey}-algo. See the man page.
* Enhanced info output in case of multiple recipients and fixed exit code.
* New option --allow-non-selfsigned-uid to work around a problem with
the German IN way of separating signing and encryption keys.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.9.8
-----------------------------------
* New subcommand "delsig" in the edit menu.
* The name of the output file is not anymore the one which is
embedded in the processed message, but the used filename with
the extension stripped. To revert to the old behaviour you can
use the option --use-embedded-filename.
* Another hack to cope with pgp2 generated detached signatures.
* latin-2 character set works (--charset=iso-8859-2).
* New option --with-key-data to list the public key parameters.
New option -N to insert notations and a --set-policy-url.
A couple of other options to allow reseting of options.
* Better support for HPUX.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.9.7
-----------------------------------
* Add some work arounds for a bugs in pgp 2 which led to bad signatures
when used with canonical texts in some cases.
* Enhanced some status outputs.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.9.6
-----------------------------------
* Twofish is now statically linked by default. The experimental 128 bit
version is now disabled. Full support will be available as soon as
the OpenPGP WG has decided on an interpretation of rfc2440.
* Dropped support for the ancient Blowfish160 which is not OpenPGP.
* Merged gpgm and gpg into one binary.
* Add "revsig" and "revkey" commands to the edit menu. It is now
possible to revoke signature and subkeys.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.9.5
-----------------------------------
* New command "lsign" in the keyedit menu to create non-exportable
signatures. Removed --trusted-keys option.
* A bunch of changes to the key validation code.
* --list-trust-path now has an optional --with-colons format.
* New command --recv-keys to import keys from an keyserver.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.9.4
-----------------------------------
* New configure option --enable-static-rnd=[egd|linux|unix|none]
to select a random gathering module for static linking.
* The original text is now verbatim copied to a cleartext signed message.
* Bugfixes but there are still a couple of bugs.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.9.3
-----------------------------------
* Changed the internal design of getkey which now allows a
efficient lookup of multiple keys and add a word match mode.
* New options --[no-]encrypt-to.
* Some changes to the configure stuff. Switched to automake 1.4.
Removed intl/ from CVS, autogen.sh now uses gettextize.
* Preferences now include Twofish. Removed preference to Blowfish with
a special hack to suppress the "not listed in preferences" warning;
this is to allow us to switch completely to Twofish in the near future.
* Changed the locking stuff.
* Print all user ids of a good signature.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.9.2
-----------------------------------
* add some additional time warp checks.
* Option --keyserver and command --send-keys to utilize HKP servers.
* Upgraded to zlib 1.1.3 and fixed an inflate bug
* More cleanup on the cleartext signatures.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.9.1
-----------------------------------
* Polish language support.
* When querying the passphrase, the key ID of the primary key is
displayed along with the one of the used secondary key.
* Fixed a bug occurring when decrypting pgp 5 encrypted messages,
fixed an infinite loop bug in the 3DES code and in the code
which looks for trusted signatures.
* Fixed a bug in the mpi library which caused signatures not to
compare okay.
* Rewrote the handling of cleartext signatures; the code is now
better maintainable (I hope so).
* New status output VALIDSIG only for valid signatures together
with the fingerprint of the signer's key.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.9.0
-----------------------------------
* --export does now only exports rfc2440 compatible keys; the
old behaviour is available with --export-all.
Generation of v3 ElGamal (sign and encrypt) keys is not longer
supported.
* Fixed the uncompress bug.
* Rewrote the rndunix module. There are two environment variables
used for debugging now: GNUPG_RNDUNIX_DBG give the file to write
debugging information (use "-" for stdout) and if GNUPG_RNDUNIX_DBGALL
is set, all programs which are only tried are also printed.
* New option --escape-from-lines to "dash-escape" "From " lines to
prevent mailers to change them to ">From ". This is not enabled by
default because it is not in compliance with rfc2440 - however, you
should turn it on.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.4.5
-----------------------------------
* The keyrings and the trustdb is now locked, so that
other GnuPG processes won't damage these files. You
may want to put the option --lock-once into your options file.
* The latest self-signatures are now used; this enables --import
to see updated preferences etc.
* Import of subkeys should now work.
* Random gathering modules may now be loaded as extensions. Add
such a module for most Unices but it is very experimental!
* Brazilian language support.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.4.4
-----------------------------------
* Fixed the way the key expiration time is stored. If you have
an expiration time on your key you should fix it with --edit-key
and the command "expire". I apologize for this inconvenience.
* Add option --charset to support "koi8-r" encoding of user ids.
(Not yet tested).
* Preferences should now work again. You should run
"gpgm --check-trustdb \*" to rebuild all preferences.
* Checking of certificates should now work but this needs a lot
of testing. Key validation values are now cached in the
trustdb; they should be recalculated as needed, but you may
use --check-trustdb or --update-trustdb to do this.
* Spanish translation by Urko Lusa.
* Patch files are from now on signed. See the man page
for the new option --not-dash-escaped.
* New syntax: --edit-key <userID> [<commands>]
If you run it without --batch the commands are executed and then
you are put into normal mode unless you use "quit" or "save" as
one of the commands. When in batch mode, the program quits after
the last command, so you have to use "save" if you did some changes.
It does not yet work completely, but may be used to list so the
keys etc.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.4.3
-----------------------------------
* Fixed the gettext configure bug.
* Kludge for RSA keys: keyid and length of a RSA key are
correctly reported, but you get an error if you try to use
this key (If you do not have the non-US version).
* Experimental support for keyrings stored in a GDBM database.
This is *much* faster than a standard keyring. You will notice
that the import gets slower with time; the reason is that all
new keys are used to verify signatures of previous inserted
keys. Use "--keyring gnupg-gdbm:<name-of-gdbm-file>". This is
not (yet) supported for secret keys.
* A Russian language file in the distribution (alternatives are in
the contrib directory of the FTP servers)
* commandline option processing now works as expected for GNU programs
with the exception that you can't mix options and normal arguments.
* Now --list-key lists all matching keys. This is needed in some
other places too.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.4.2
-----------------------------------
* This is only a snapshot: There are still a few bugs.
* Fixed this huge memory leak.
* Redesigned the trust database: You should run "gpgm --check-trustdb".
New command --update-trustdb, which adds new key from the public
keyring into your trustdb
* Fixed a bug in the armor code, leading to invalid packet errors.
(a workaround for this was to use --no-armor). The shorten line
length (64 instead of 72) fixes a problem with pgp5 and keyservers.
* comment packets are not anymore generated. "--export" filters
them out. One Exception: The comment packets in a secret keyring
are still used because they carry the factorization of the public
prime product.
* --import now only looks for KEYBLOCK headers, so you can now simply
remove the "- " in front of such a header if someone accidently signed
such a message or the keyblock is part of a cleartext signed message.
* --with-colons now lists the key expiration time and not anymore
the valid period.
* Some keyblocks created with old releases have a wrong sequence
of packets, so that the keyservers don't accept these keys.
Simply using "--edit-key" fixes the problem.
* New option --force-v3-sigs to generate signed messages which are
compatible to PGP 5.
* Add some code to support DLD (for non ELF systems) - but this is
not tested because my BSD box is currently broken.
* New command "expire" in the edit-key menu.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.4.1
-----------------------------------
* A secondary key is used when the primary key is specified but cannot
be used for the operation (if it is a sign-only key).
* GNUPG can now handle concatenated armored messages: There is still a
bug if different kinds of messages are mixed.
* Iterated+Salted passphrases now work. If want to be sure that PGP5
is able to handle them you may want to use the options
"--s2k-mode 3 --s2k-cipher-algo cast5 --s2k-digest-algo sha1"
when changing a passphrase.
* doc/OpenPGP talks about OpenPGP compliance, doc/HACKING gives
a few hints about the internal structure.
* Checked gnupg against the August 1998 draft (07) and I believe
it is in compliance with this document (except for one point).
* Fixed some bugs in the import merging code and rewrote some
code for the trustdb.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.4.0
-----------------------------------
* Triple DES is now supported. Michael Roth did this piece of
needed work. We have now all the coded needed to be OpenPGP
compliant.
* Added a simple rpm spec file (see INSTALL).
* detached and armored signatures are now using "PGP SIGNATURE",
except when --rfc1991 is used.
* All times which are not in the yyyy-mm-dd format are now printed
in local time.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.5
-----------------------------------
* New option --throw-keyid to create anonymous enciphered messages.
If gpg detects such a message it tires all available secret keys
in turn so decode it. This is a gnupg extension and not in OpenPGP
but it has been discussed there and afaik some products use this
scheme too (Suggested by Nimrod Zimmerman).
* Fixed a bug with 5 byte length headers.
* --delete-[secret-]key is now also available in gpgm.
* cleartext signatures are not anymore converted to LF only.
* Fixed a trustdb problem. Run "gpgm --check-trustdb" to fix old
trust dbs.
* Building in another directory should now work.
* Weak key detection mechanism (Niklas Hernaeus).
Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.4
-----------------------------------
* New options --comment and --set-filename; see g10/OPTIONS
* yes/no, y/n localized.
* Fixed some bugs.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.3
-----------------------------------
* IMPORTANT: I found yet another bug in the way the secret keys
are encrypted - I did it the way pgp 2.x did it, but OpenPGP
and pgp 5.x specify another (in some aspects simpler) method.
To convert your secret keys you have to do this:
1. Build the new release but don't install it and keep
a copy of the old program.
2. Disable the network, make sure that you are the only
user, be sure that there are no Trojan horses etc ....
3. Use your old gpg (version 0.3.[12]) and set the
passphrases of ALL your secret keys to empty!
(gpg --change-passphrase your-user-id).
4. Save your ownertrusts (see the next point)
5. rm ~/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg
6. install the new version of gpg (0.3.3)
7. For every secret key call "gpg --edit-key your-user-id",
enter "passwd" at the prompt, follow the instructions and
change your password back, enter "save" to store it.
8. Restore the ownertrust (see next point).
* The format of the trust database has changed; you must delete
the old one, so gnupg can create a new one.
IMPORTANT: Use version 0.3.[12] to save your assigned ownertrusts
("gpgm --list-ownertrust >saved-trust"); then build this new version
and restore the ownertrust with this new version
("gpgm --import-ownertrust saved-trust"). Please note that
--list-ownertrust has been renamed to --export-ownertrust in this
release and it does now only export defined ownertrusts.
* The command --edit-key now provides a commandline driven menu
which can be used for various tasks. --sign-key is only an
an alias to --edit-key and maybe removed in future: use the
command "sign" of this new menu - you can select which user ids
you want to sign.
* Alternate user ids can now be created an signed.
* Owner trust values can now be changed with --edit-key (trust)
* GNUPG can now run as a coprocess; this enables sophisticated
frontends. tools/shmtest.c is a simple sample implementation.
This needs some more work: all tty_xxx() are to be replaced
by cpr_xxx() and some changes in the display logics is needed.
* Removed options --gen-prime and --gen-random.
* Removed option --add-key; use --edit-key instead.
* Removed option --change-passphrase; use --edit-key instead.
* Signatures are now checked even if the output file could not
be created. Command "--verify" tries to find the detached data.
* gpg now disables core dumps.
* compress and symmetric cipher preferences are now used.
Because there is no 3DES yet, this is replaced by Blowfish.
* We have added the Twofish as an experimental cipher algorithm.
Many thanks to Matthew Skala for doing this work.
Twofish is the AES submission from Schneier et al.; see
"www.counterpane.com/twofish.html" for more information.
* Started with a help system: If you enter a question mark at some
prompt; you should get a specific help for this prompt.
* There is no more backup copy of the secret keyring.
* A lot of new bugs. I think this release is not as stable as
the previous one.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.2
-----------------------------------
* Fixed some bugs when using --textmode (-seat)
* Now displays the trust status of a positive verified message.
* Keyrings are now scanned in the sequence they are added with
--[secret-]keyring. Note that the default keyring is implicitly
added as the very first one unless --no-default-keyring is used.
* Fixed setuid and dlopen bug.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.1
-----------------------------------
* Partial headers are now written in the OpenPGP format if
a key in a v4 packet is used.
* Removed some unused options, removed the gnupg.sig stuff.
* Key lookup by name now returns a key which can be used for
the desired action.
* New options --list-ownertrust (gpgm) to make a backup copy
of the ownertrust values you assigned.
* clear signature headers are now in compliance with OpenPGP.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.0
-----------------------------------
* New option --emulate-checksum-bug. If your passphrase does not
work anymore, use this option and --change-passphrase to rewrite
your passphrase.
* More complete v4 key support: Preferences and expiration time
is set into the self signature.
* Key generation defaults to DSA/ElGamal keys, so that new keys are
interoperable with pgp5
* DSA key generation is faster and key generation does not anymore
remove entropy from the random generator (the primes are public
parameters, so there is really no need for a cryptographic secure
prime number generator which we had used).
* A complete new structure for representing the key parameters.
* Removed most public key knowledge into the cipher library.
* Support for dynamic loading of new algorithms.
* Moved tiger to an extension module.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.19
------------------------------------
* Replaced /dev/urandom in checks with new tool mk-tdata.
* Some assembler file cleanups; some more functions for the Alpha.
* Tiger has now the OpenPGP assigned number 6. Because the OID has
changed, old signatures using this algorithm can't be verified.
* gnupg now encrypts the compressed packed and not any longer in the
reverse order; anyway it can decrypt both versions. Thanks to Tom
for telling me this (not security related) bug.
* --add-key works and you are now able to generate subkeys.
* It is now possible to generate ElGamal keys in v4 packets to create
valid OpenPGP keys.
* Some new features for better integration into MUAs.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.18
------------------------------------
* Splitted cipher/random.c, add new option "--disable-dev-random"
to configure to support the development of a random source for
other systems. Prepared sourcefiles rand-unix.c, rand-w32.c
and rand-dummy.c (which is used to allow compilation on systems
without a random source).
* Fixed a small bug in the key generation (it was possible that 48 bits
of a key were not taken from the random pool)
* Add key generation for DSA and v4 signatures.
* Add a function trap_unaligned(), so that a SIGBUS is issued on
Alphas and not the slow emulation code is used. And success: rmd160
raised a SIGBUS.
* Enhanced the formatting facility of argparse and changed the use of
\r,\v to @ because gettext does not like it.
* New option "--compress-algo 1" to allow the creation of compressed
messages which are readable by PGP and "--print-md" (gpgm) to make
speed measurement easier.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.17
------------------------------------
* Comment packets are now of private type 61.
* Passphrase code still used a 160 bit blowfish key, added a
silly workaround. Please change your passphrase again - sorry.
* Conventional encryption now uses a type 3 packet to describe the
used algorithms.
* The new algorithm number for Blowfish is 20, 16 is still used for
encryption only; for signing it is only used when it is in a v3 packet,
so that GNUPG keys are still valid.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.16
------------------------------------
* Add experimental support for the TIGER/192 message digest algorithm.
(But there is only a dummy ASN OID).
* Standard cipher is now Blowfish with 128 bit key in OpenPGP's CFB
mode. I renamed the old cipher to Blowfish160. Because the OpenPGP
group refused to assign me a number for Blowfish160, I have to
drop support for this in the future. You should use
"--change-passphrase" to recode your current passphrase with 128
bit Blowfish.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.15
------------------------------------
* Fixed a bug with the old checksum calculation for secret keys.
If you run the program without --batch, a warning does inform
you if your secret key needs to be converted; simply use
--change-passphrase to recalculate the checksum. Please do this
soon, as the compatible mode will be removed sometime in the future.
* CAST5 works (using the PGP's special CFB mode).
* Again somewhat more PGP 5 compatible.
* Some new test cases
Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.14
------------------------------------
* Changed the internal handling of keyrings.
* Add support to list PGP 5 keyrings with subkeys
* Timestamps of signatures are now verified.
* A expiration time can now be specified during key generation.
* Some speedups for Blowfish and SHA-1, rewrote SHA-1 transform.
Reduced the amount of random bytes needed for key generation in
some cases.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.13
------------------------------------
* Verify of DSA signatures works.
* Re-implemented the slower random number generator.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.12
------------------------------------
* --delete-key checks that there is no secret key. The new
option --delete-secret-key maybe used to delete a secret key.
* "-kv" now works as expected. Options "--list-{keys,sigs]"
and "--check-sigs" are now working.
* New options "--verify" and "--decrypt" to better support integration
into MUAs (partly done for Mutt).
* New option "--with-colons" to make parsing of key lists easier.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.11
------------------------------------
* GPG now asks for a recipient's name if option "-r" is not used.
* If there is no good trust path, the program asks whether to use
the public keys anyway.
* "--delete-key" works for public keys. What semantics shall I use
when there is a secret key too? Delete the secret key or leave him
and auto-regenerate the public key, next time the secret key is used?
Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.10
------------------------------------
* Code for the alpha is much faster (about 20 times); the data
was misaligned and the kernel traps this, so nearly all time
was used by system to trap the misalignments and to write
syslog messages. Shame on me and thanks to Ralph for
pointing me at this while drinking some beer yesterday.
* Changed some configure options and add an option
--disable-m-guard to remove the memory checking code
and to compile everything with optimization on.
* New environment variable GNUPGHOME, which can be used to set
another homedir than ~/.gnupg. Changed default homedir for
Windoze version to c:/gnupg.
* Fixed detached signatures; detached PGP signatures caused a SEGV.
* The Windoze version works (as usual w/o a strong RNG).
Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.9
-----------------------------------
* Fixed FreeBSD bug.
* Added a simple man page.
* Switched to automake1.2f and a newer gettext.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.8
-----------------------------------
* Changed the name to GNUPG, the binaries are called gpg and gpgm.
You must rename rename the directory "~/.g10" to ~/.gnupg/, rename
{pub,sec}ring.g10 to {pub,sec}ring.gpg, trustdb.g10 to trustdb.gpg
and g10.sig to gnupg.sig.
* New or changed passphrases are now salted.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.7
-----------------------------------
* New command "gen-revoke" to create a key revocation certificate.
* New option "homedir" to set the homedir (which defaults to "~/.g10").
This directory is created if it does not exists (only the last
part of the name and not the complete hierarchy)
* Command "import" works. (Try: "finger gcrypt@ftp.guug.de|g10 --import")
* New commands "dearmor/enarmor" for g10maint. These are mainly
used for internal test purposes.
* Option --version now conforming to the GNU standards and lists
the available ciphers, message digests and public key algorithms.
* Assembler code for m68k (not tested).
* "make check" works.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.6
-----------------------------------
* Option "--export" works.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.5
-----------------------------------
* Added zlib for systems which don't have it.
Use "./configure --with-zlib" to link with the static version.
* Generalized some more functions and rewrote the encoding of
message digests into MPIs.
* Enhanced the checkit script
Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.4
-----------------------------------
* nearly doubled the speed of the ElGamal signature verification.
* backup copies of keyrings are created.
* assembler stuff for Pentium; gives about 15% better performance.
* fixed a lot of bugs.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.3
-----------------------------------
* Found a bug in the calculation of ELG fingerprints. This is now
fixed, but all existing fingerprints and keyids for ELG keys
are not any more valid.
* armor should now work; including clear signed text.
* moved some options to the new program g10maint
* It's now 64 bit clean and runs fine on an alpha--linux.
* Key generation is much faster now. I fixed this by using not
so strong random number for the primes (this was a bug because the
ElGamal primes are public parameters and it does not make sense
to generate them from strong random). The real secret is the x value
which is still generated from strong (okay: /dev/random) random bits.
* added option "--status-fd": see g10/OPTIONS
* We have secure memory on systems which support mlock().
It is not complete yet, because we do not have signal handler
which does a cleanup in very case.
We should also check the ulimit for the user in the case
that the admin does not have set a limit on locked pages.
* started with internationalization support.
* The logic to handle the web of trust is now implemented. It is
has some bugs; but I'm going to change the algorithm anyway.
It works by calculating the trustlevel on the fly. It may ask
you to provide trust parameters if the calculated trust probability
is too low. I will write a paper which discusses this new approach.
* a couple of changes to the configure script.
* New option "--quick-random" which uses a much quicker random
number generator. Keys generated while this option is in effect
are flags with "INSECURE!" in the user-id. This is a development
only option.
* Read support for new version packets (OpenPGP).
* Comment packets are now of correct OpenPGP type 16. Old comment
packets written by G10 are detected because they always start with
a hash which is an invalid version byte.
* The string "(INSECURE!)" is appended to a new user-id if this
is generated on a system without a good random number generator.

GnuPG is GNU's tool for secure communication and data storage.
It can be used to encrypt data and to create digital signatures.
It includes an advanced key management facility and is compliant
with the proposed OpenPGP Internet standard as described in RFC2440.
GnuPG works best on GNU/Linux or *BSD systems. Most other Unices
are also supported but are not as well tested as the Free Unices.

Please read the file INSTALL and the sections in this file
related to the installation. Here is a quick summary:
1) Check that you have unmodified sources. See below on how to do
this. Don't skip it - this is an important step!
- 2) Unpack the TAR. With GNU tar you can do it this way:
- "tar xzvf gnupg-x.y.z.tar.gz"

How to Verify the Source
------------------------
In order to check that the version of GnuPG which you are going to
install is an original and unmodified one, you can do it in one of
the following ways:
a) If you already have a trusted Version of GnuPG installed, you
can simply check the supplied signature:
$ gpg --verify gnupg-x.y.z.tar.gz.asc
This checks that the detached signature gnupg-x.y.z.tar.gz.asc
is indeed a a signature of gnupg-x.y.z.tar.gz. The key used to
create this signature is:
"pub 1024D/57548DCD 1998-07-07 Werner Koch (gnupg sig) <dd9jn@gnu.org>"
If you do not have this key, you can get it from the source in
the file doc/samplekeys.asc (use "gpg --import doc/samplekeys.asc"
to add it to the keyring) or from any keyserver. You have to
make sure that this is really the key and not a faked one. You
can do this by comparing the output of:
$ gpg --fingerprint 0x57548DCD
with the fingerprint published elsewhere.
Please note, that you have to use an old version of GnuPG to
do all this stuff. *Never* use the version which you are going
to check!
b) If you don't have any of the above programs, you have to verify
the MD5 checksum:
$ md5sum gnupg-x.y.z.tar.gz
This should yield an output _similar_ to this:
fd9351b26b3189c1d577f0970f9dcadc gnupg-x.y.z.tar.gz
Now check that this checksum is _exactly_ the same as the one
published via the announcement list and probably via Usenet.

Introduction
------------
Here is a brief overview on how to use GnuPG - it is strongly suggested
that you read the manual and other information about the use of
cryptography. GnuPG is only a tool, secure usage requires that
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
- If you already have a DSA key from PGP 5 (they call them DH/ElGamal)
- you can simply copy the pgp keyrings over the GnuPG keyrings after
- running gpg once to create the correct directory.
+ The first time you run gpg, it will create a .gnupg directory in
+ your home directory and populate it with a default configuration
+ file. Once this is done, you may create a new key, or if you
+ already have keyrings from PGP, you can import them into GnuPG
+ with:
+
+ gpg --import path/to/pgp/keyring/pubring.pkr
+ and
+ gpg --import path/to/pgp/keyring/secring.skr
The normal way to create a key is
gpg --gen-key
This asks some questions and then starts key generation. To create
good random numbers for the key parameters, GnuPG needs to gather
enough noise (entropy) from your system. If you see no progress
during key generation you should start some other activities such
- as mouse moves or hitting on the CTRL and SHIFT keys.
+ as moving the mouse or hitting the CTRL and SHIFT keys.
Generate a key ONLY on a machine where you have direct physical
- access - don't do it over the network or on a machine used also
- by others - especially if you have no access to the root account.
+ access - don't do it over the network or on a machine also used
+ by others, especially if you have no access to the root account.
When you are asked for a passphrase use a good one which you can
- easy remember. Don't make the passphrase too long because you have
- to type it for every decryption or signing; but, - AND THIS IS VERY
- IMPORTANT - use a good one that is not easily to guess because the
- security of the whole system relies on your secret key and the
- passphrase that protects it when someone gains access to your secret
- keyring. A good way to select a passphrase is to figure out a short
- nonsense sentence which makes some sense for you and modify it by
- inserting extra spaces, non-letters and changing the case of some
- characters - this is really easy to remember especially if you
- associate some pictures with it.

+ remember especially if you associate some pictures with it.
Next, you should create a revocation certificate in case someone
gets knowledge of your secret key or you forgot your passphrase
gpg --gen-revoke your_user_id
Run this command and store the revocation certificate away. The output
is always ASCII armored, so that you can print it and (hopefully
never) re-create it if your electronic media fails.
Now you can use your key to create digital signatures
gpg -s file
This creates a file "file.gpg" which is compressed and has a
signature attached.
gpg -sa file
Same as above, but creates a file "file.asc" which is ASCII armored
and and ready for sending by mail. It is better to use your
mailers features to create signatures (The mailer uses GnuPG to do
this) because the mailer has the ability to MIME encode such
signatures - but this is not a security issue.
gpg -s -o out file
Creates a signature of "file", but writes the output to the file
"out".
Everyone who knows your public key (you can and should publish
your key by putting it on a key server, a web page or in your .plan
file) is now able to check whether you really signed this text
gpg --verify file
GnuPG now checks whether the signature is valid and prints an
appropriate message. If the signature is good, you know at least
that the person (or machine) has access to the secret key which
corresponds to the published public key.
If you run gpg without an option it will verify the signature and
create a new file that is identical to the original. gpg can also
run as a filter, so that you can pipe data to verify trough it
cat signed-file | gpg | wc -l
which will check the signature of signed-file and then display the
number of lines in the original file.
To send a message encrypted to someone you can use
gpg -e -r heine file
This encrypts "file" with the public key of the user "heine" and
writes it to "file.gpg"
echo "hello" | gpg -ea -r heine | mail heine
Ditto, but encrypts "hello\n" and mails it as ASCII armored message
to the user with the mail address heine.
gpg -se -r heine file
This encrypts "file" with the public key of "heine" and writes it
to "file.gpg" after signing it with your user id.
gpg -se -r heine -u Suttner file
Ditto, but sign the file with your alternative user id "Suttner"
GnuPG has some options to help you publish public keys. This is
called "exporting" a key, thus
gpg --export >all-my-keys
exports all the keys in the keyring and writes them (in a binary
format) to "all-my-keys". You may then mail "all-my-keys" as an
MIME attachment to someone else or put it on an FTP server. To
export only some user IDs, you give them as arguments on the command
line.
To mail a public key or put it on a web page you have to create
the key in ASCII armored format
gpg --export --armor | mail panther@tiger.int
This will send all your public keys to your friend panther.
If you have received a key from someone else you can put it
into your public keyring. This is called "importing"
gpg --import [filenames]
New keys are appended to your keyring and already existing
keys are updated. Note that GnuPG does not import keys that
are not self-signed.
Because anyone can claim that a public key belongs to her
we must have some way to check that a public key really belongs
to the owner. This can be achieved by comparing the key during
a phone call. Sure, it is not very easy to compare a binary file
by reading the complete hex dump of the file - GnuPG (and nearly
every other program used for management of cryptographic keys)
provides other solutions.
gpg --fingerprint <username>
prints the so called "fingerprint" of the given username which
is a sequence of hex bytes (which you may have noticed in mail
sigs or on business cards) that uniquely identifies the public
key - different keys will always have different fingerprints.
It is easy to compare fingerprints by phone and I suggest
that you print your fingerprint on the back of your business
card. To see the fingerprints of the secondary keys, you can
give the command twice; but this is normally not needed.
If you don't know the owner of the public key you are in trouble.
Suppose however that friend of yours knows someone who knows someone
who has met the owner of the public key at some computer conference.
Suppose that all the people between you and the public key holder
may now act as introducers to you. Introducers signing keys thereby
certify that they know the owner of the keys they sign. If you then
trust all the introducers to have correctly signed other keys, you
can be be sure that the other key really belongs to the one who
claims to own it..
There are 2 steps to validate a key:
1. First check that there is a complete chain
of signed keys from the public key you want to use
and your key and verify each signature.
2. Make sure that you have full trust in the certificates
of all the introduces between the public key holder and
you.
Step 2 is the more complicated part because there is no easy way
for a computer to decide who is trustworthy and who is not. GnuPG
leaves this decision to you and will ask you for a trust value
(here also referenced as the owner-trust of a key) for every key
needed to check the chain of certificates. You may choose from:
a) "I don't know" - then it is not possible to use any
of the chains of certificates, in which this key is used
as an introducer, to validate the target key. Use this if
you don't know the introducer.
b) "I do not trust" - Use this if you know that the introducer
does not do a good job in certifying other keys. The effect
is the same as with a) but for a) you may later want to
change the value because you got new information about this
introducer.
c) "I trust marginally" - Use this if you assume that the
introducer knows what he is doing. Together with some
other marginally trusted keys, GnuPG validates the target
key then as good.
d) "I fully trust" - Use this if you really know that this
introducer does a good job when certifying other keys.
If all the introducer are of this trust value, GnuPG
normally needs only one chain of signatures to validate
a target key okay. (But this may be adjusted with the help
of some options).
This information is confidential because it gives your personal
opinion on the trustworthiness of someone else. Therefore this data
is not stored in the keyring but in the "trustdb"
(~/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg). Do not assign a high trust value just
because the introducer is a friend of yours - decide how well she
understands the implications of key signatures and you may want to
tell her more about public key cryptography so you can later change
the trust value you assigned.
Okay, here is how GnuPG helps you with key management. Most stuff
is done with the --edit-key command
gpg --edit-key <keyid or username>
GnuPG displays some information about the key and then prompts
for a command (enter "help" to see a list of commands and see
the man page for a more detailed explanation). To sign a key
you select the user ID you want to sign by entering the number
that is displayed in the leftmost column (or do nothing if the
key has only one user ID) and then enter the command "sign" and
follow all the prompts. When you are ready, give the command
"save" (or use "quit" to cancel your actions).
If you want to sign the key with another of your user IDs, you
must give an "-u" option on the command line together with the
"--edit-key".
Normally you want to sign only one user ID because GnuPG
uses only one and this keeps the public key certificate
small. Because such key signatures are very important you
should make sure that the signatories of your key sign a user ID
which is very likely to stay for a long time - choose one with an
email address you have full control of or do not enter an email
address at all. In future GnuPG will have a way to tell which
user ID is the one with an email address you prefer - because
you have no signatures on this email address it is easy to change
this address. Remember, your signatories sign your public key (the
primary one) together with one of your user IDs - so it is not possible
to change the user ID later without voiding all the signatures.
Tip: If you hear about a key signing party on a computer conference
join it because this is a very convenient way to get your key
certified (But remember that signatures have nothing to to with the
trust you assign to a key).
8 Ways to Specify a User ID
--------------------------
There are several ways to specify a user ID, here are some examples.
* Only by the short keyid (prepend a zero if it begins with A..F):
"234567C4"
"0F34E556E"
"01347A56A"
"0xAB123456
* By a complete keyid:
"234AABBCC34567C4"
"0F323456784E56EAB"
"01AB3FED1347A5612"
"0x234AABBCC34567C4"
* By a fingerprint:
"1234343434343434C434343434343434"
"123434343434343C3434343434343734349A3434"
"0E12343434343434343434EAB3484343434343434"
The first one is MD5 the others are ripemd160 or sha1.
* By an exact string:
"=Heinrich Heine <heinrichh@uni-duesseldorf.de>"
* By an email address:
"<heinrichh@uni-duesseldorf.de>"
* By word match
"+Heinrich Heine duesseldorf"
All words must match exactly (not case sensitive) and appear in
any order in the user ID. Words are any sequences of letters,
digits, the underscore and characters with bit 7 set.
* Or by the usual substring:
"Heine"
"*Heine"
The '*' indicates substring search explicitly.
Batch mode
----------
If you use the option "--batch", GnuPG runs in non-interactive mode and
never prompts for input data. This does not even allow entering the
passphrase. Until we have a better solution (something like ssh-agent),
you can use the option "--passphrase-fd n", which works like PGP's
PGPPASSFD.
Batch mode also causes GnuPG to terminate as soon as a BAD signature is
detected.
Exit status
-----------
GnuPG returns with an exit status of 1 if in batch mode and a bad signature
has been detected or 2 or higher for all other errors. You should parse
stderr or, better, the output of the fd specified with --status-fd to get
detailed information about the errors.
Configure options
-----------------
Here is a list of configure options which are sometime useful
for installation.
--enable-static-rnd=<name>
Force the use of the random byte gathering
module <name>. Default is either to use /dev/random
or the auto mode. Value for name:
egd - Use the module which accesses the
Entropy Gathering Daemon. See the webpages
for more information about it.
unix - Use the standard Unix module which does not
have a very good performance.
linux - Use the module which accesses /dev/random.
This is the first choice and the default one
for GNU/Linux or *BSD.
auto - Compile linux, egd and unix in and
automagically select at runtime.
--with-egd-socket=<name>
This is only used when EGD is used as random
gatherer. GnuPG uses by default "~/.gnupg/entropy"
as the socket to connect EGD. Using this option the
socket name can be changed. You may use any filename
here with 2 exceptions: a filename starting with
- "~/" uses the socket in the homedirectory of the user
+ "~/" uses the socket in the home directory of the user
and one starting with a "=" uses a socket in the
- GnuPG homedirectory which is bye default "~/.gnupg".
+ GnuPG home directory which is "~/.gnupg" by default.
--with-included-zlib
Forces usage of the local zlib sources. Default is
to use the (shared) library of the system.
--with-included-gettext
Forces usage of the local gettext sources instead of
the one provided by your system.
--disable-nls
Disable NLS support (See the file ABOUT-NLS)
--enable-m-guard
Enable the integrated malloc checking code. Please
note that this feature does not work on all CPUs
(e.g. SunOS 5.7 on UltraSparc-2) and might give
you a bus error.
--disable-dynload
If you have problems with dynamic loading, this
option disables all dynamic loading stuff. Note
that the use of dynamic linking is very limited.
--disable-asm
Do not use assembler modules. It is not possible
to use this on some CPU types.
--disable-exec
Disable all remote program execution. This
disables photo ID viewing as well as all keyserver
types aside from HKP.
--disable-photo-viewers
Disable only photo ID viewing.
--disable-keyserver-helpers
Disable only keyserver helpers (not including
HKP).
--disable-keyserver-path
Disables the user's ability to use the exec-path
feature to add additional search directories when
executing a keyserver helper.
--with-photo-viewer=FIXED_VIEWER
Force the photo viewer to be FIXED_VIEWER and
disable any ability for the user to change it in
their options file.
--enable-sha512
Enable read-only SHA-384 and SHA-512 digest
support.
Installation Problems
---------------------
If you get unresolved externals "gettext" you should run configure
again with the option "--with-included-gettext"; this is version
0.10.35 which is available at alpha.gnu.org.
If you have other compile problems, try the configure options
"--with-included-zlib" or "--disable-nls" (See ABOUT-NLS) or
--disable-dynload.
We can't check all assembler files, so if you have problems
assembling them (or the program crashes) use --disable-asm with
- ./configure. The configure scripts may consider several
- subdirectories to get all available assembler files; be sure to
- delete the correct ones. The assembler replacements are in C and
- in mpi/generic; never delete udiv-qrnnd.S in any CPU directory,
- because there may be no C substitute. Don't forget to delete
- "config.cache" and run "./config.status --recheck".
+ ./configure. If you opt to delete individual replacement files in
+ hopes of using the remaining ones, be aware that the configure
+ scripts may consider several subdirectories to get all available
+ assembler files; be sure to delete the correct ones. The assembler
+ replacements are in C and in mpi/generic; never delete
+ udiv-qrnnd.S in any CPU directory, because there may be no C

+ "./config.status --recheck".
Some make tools are broken - the best solution is to use GNU's
make. Try gmake or grab the sources from a GNU archive and
install them.
On some OSF systems you may get unresolved externals. This is a
libtool problem and the workaround is to manually remove all the
"-lc -lz" but the last one from the linker line and execute them
manually.
On some architectures you see warnings like:
longlong.h:175: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype
or
http.c:647: warning: cast increases required alignment of target type
This doesn't matter and we know about it (actually it is due to
some warning options which we have enabled for gcc)
Specific problems on some machines
----------------------------------
* Apple Darwin 6.1:
./configure --with-libiconv-prefix=/sw
* Compaq C V6.2 for alpha:
You may want to use the option "-msg-disable ptrmismatch1"
to get rid of the sign/unsigned char mismatch warnings.
* IBM RS/6000 running AIX:
Due to a change in gcc (since version 2.8) the MPI stuff may
not build. In this case try to run configure using:
CFLAGS="-g -O2 -mcpu=powerpc" ./configure
* SVR4.2 (ESIX V4.2 cc)
Due to problems with the ESIX as, you probably want to do
CFLAGS="-O -K pentium" ./configure --disable-asm
* HP/UX 11 with HP's C compiler:
This compiler has some issues with inline functions. If you
get an error like "Unexpected symbol: SWAP" in gettextP.h,
read and follow the instructions at the top of
intl/gettextP.h.

The Random Device
-----------------
Random devices are available in Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
Operating systems without a random devices must use another
entropy collector.
This collector works by running a lot of commands that yield more
or less unpredictable output and feds this as entropy into the
random generator - It should work reliably but you should check
whether it produces good output for your version of Unix. There
are some debug options to help you (see cipher/rndunix.c).
Creating an RPM package
-----------------------
The file scripts/gnupg.spec is used to build a RPM package (both
binary and src):
1. copy the spec file into /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
2. copy the tar file into /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
3. type: rpm -ba SPECS/gnupg.spec
Or use the -t (--tarbuild) option of rpm:
1. rpm -ta gnupg-x.x.x.tar.gz
The binary rpm file can now be found in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS, source
rpm in /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS

Please direct bug reports to http://bugs.gnupg.org or post
them direct to the mailing list <gnupg-devel@gnupg.org>.
Please direct questions about GnuPG to the users mailing list or
one of the pgp newsgroups; please do not direct questions to one
of the authors directly as we are busy working on improvements
and bug fixes. Both mailing lists are watched by the authors
and we try to answer questions when time allows us to do so.
Commercial grade support for GnuPG is available; please see
the GNU service directory or search other resources.
