Mailing List Archive: PGP 1.0.2c and RSA

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I am currently downloading 1.0.2c to try a few tests using my existing PGP RSA key.

My questions may be obvious.......but I don't want to mess up my installation too
much ;-)

1)My current Linux distro.. SuSE includes the GPG add-ons (RSA and IDEA} which I have
installed. When I install 1.0.2c I assume that I must delete the RSA extension and
remove the load rsa extension from my options file?

2) What is the default replacement for IDEA in the new GnuPG?

3) If I use the IDEA extension, I already have installed....will this be completely
compatible with any of the current versions of PGP?

Regards
Brian

You can removed the
load-extension rsa
but it will not be used anway becuiase internal modules takes
precedence over loaded ones.

Hmmm, 3DES

There is still the problem in creating PGP 2 signed mail. I will
work on that soon.

Ciao,
