Hi,
I use GnuPG to communicate with a friend who has only PGP2.6. She
sent me her key without self-signing it. I have confirmend the
fingerprint with her and I am confident that it was not modified in
transit. However, I have not been able to get GnuPG to trust it.
As I understand it, all that should be necessary is to sign it with
my secret key. I have done this.
Is it possible to convince GnuPG that I really do trust this key, or
do I absolutely have to get a self-signed version from her?
Thanks,
Andrew
PS. These keys live on multi-user machines, so they are not very
secure to begin with.
