Please CC me on any replies. I subscribe to the digest format. TIA. I'm working on Proof-of Concept for a project at work that requires cryptographic support (PGP). I'm trying to test with my FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT system at home. The other end is is PGP 2.6.3i running under UNIX System Servcies on a z/OS V1.2 IBM mainframe. It appears PGP let me generate a 2048 bit key on the mainframe. I Emailed the public key to myself at home and I configured GNUpg 1.2.2 on my FreeBSD system. When I try to import my mainframe public key, I get $ gpg --import import.txt gpg: WARNING: using insecure memory! gpg: please see http://www.gnupg.org/faq.html for more information gpg: invalid armor header: mQENAz8cGboAAAEIAK2ZC+r0jLbKJvIdyL0Hox7VWXj4hBbXOzIhgy3qwgoFgBK3 I'm not sure how much of the ASCII armored message block I needed so I tried a couple of different things. Things are not going well... I could use some help understanding what the import function is actually looking for. I'm also wondering if I have an ASCII-EBCDIC-ASCII conversion problem that I don't know about. (I had to copy and paste the ascii armored public key into Lotus Notes to send it to myself at home.) TIA for any suggestions. Cheers...
