- QUESTION:
- Info
ANSWER: - http://www.gnupg.org/
gpg (GnuPG) is available in Cpanel
program:
/usr/bin/gpg
data directory:
/home/username/.gnupg
if you want to encrypt a message with GnuPG so that PGP is able to decrypt it:
It depends on the PGP version.
• PGP 2.x
You cant do that because PGP 2.x normally uses IDEA which is not supported by GnuPG as it is patented (see 3.3), but if you have a modified version of PGP you can try this:
• gpg --rfc1991 --cipher-algo 3des ...
Please dont pipe the data to encrypt to gpg but provide it using a filename; otherwise, PGP 2 will not be able to handle it.
As for conventional encryption, you cant do this for PGP 2.
• PGP 5.x and higher
You need to provide two additional options:
• --compress-algo 1 --cipher-algo cast5
You may also use 3des instead of cast5, and blowfish does not work with all versions of PGP 5. You may also want to put:
compress-algo 1
into your ~/.gnupg/options file - this does not affect normal GnuPG operation.
This applies to conventional encryption as well.
Also you are right GnuPG is compatible with PGP, or better to say that GnuPG is a GNU replacement (free) for PGP.
