After obsessing over it today, I decided to write a quick primer on RSA Encryption you can do in your head. It’s pretty simple, and to the point. The numbers are very small. Try it out! I plan to write some code implementing the algorithm. That should be fun.
I was sad to find that my GnuPG installation wasn’t asking me about cert-level when I was tsigning keys today. To turn it on, I put the following at the bottom of my ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf: ask-cert-level Now, when doing tsigning, it will ask how well you checked the identity of the person whose key you are signing. Like this: How carefully have you verified the key you are about to sign actually belongs to the person named above? If you don’t [...]
I have joined the GSWoT. I am the newest Gossamer Spider Web of Trust Introducer! This is a great honor, and I’d like to thank Kara Denizi for giving me the chance to join. Above, I’ve posted the current state of the keyring. It also includes an outlier from my personal keyring. Props to sig2dot for creating that graph. Here’s the commands: wget -O gswot.keyring “http://biglumber.com/x/web?keyring=5802;download=1″ sudo apt-get install graphviz imagemagick wget http://www.chaosreigns.com/code/sig2dot/sig2dot.pl gpg –list-sigs –keyring ./gswot.keyring | perl sig2dot.pl [...]
I had a problem today. I wanted to encrypt something with my GPG Key. It was only on my laptop. Here’s what I did: gpg –export-secret-keys > gpgkeyfile gpg -c gpgkeyfile shred -u gpgkeyfile Then move gpgkeyfile.gpg to another computer. To import them again: gpg -d gpgkeyfile.gpg > gpgkeyfile gpg –import gpgkeyfile gpg: key 9140A8C7: secret key imported gpg: key 9140A8C7: *** 1 new signature gpg: key 5EF4A221: secret key imported gpg: key 5EF4A221: public key *** imported gpg: key [...]
