    Will do when I open Thunderbird later. I do all of my crypto work that way, because I have Enigmail integrated into Thunderbird. :)

    OK so I am using just a single keyword to encode this and using 3DES
    algo to encode it with.. there is no public/privite key in these tests just a keyword and a certain algorythm that is in play.

    I'll send you another one now :)

    I think you must make sure the '> ' is removed. gpg will not understand that stuff.

    You guys trading keys?
    Are those keys posted on the public key server?

    Can I join in your tests?

    If we excahgne public keys.

    I will post my public key, in clear text (ascii armor) then import the key. Once you import the key you can encrypt to a recipiant. You can encrypt to several recipiants.

    I've been curious about posting a cypher text message.

    Let me know if I can join in your guy's fun.

    import someone's key:
    gpg --import keyfile.key
    make sure you remove any tabs or extra spaces and save the public key to a
    file .. or pipe the output to gpg's input
    note there is way more to trusting keys, so just becareful who how you trust.

    view all keys:
    gpg --list-keys

    view just seceret key:
    gpg --list-secret-keys

    in the case of listing keys you will see the key id typically you see pub next
    to it.
    there often is the key size with a designated letter after 2048R/IDnumberletters
    this info is important if you want to send to recipiants based on ID and to
    use a specific key to send it.

    encrypting:
    inline incrypted or using a file
    gpg -o outputfile -e -u keyIDFrom -r keyIDtoRecipiant -a inputfile
    above the -a specifies its ascii armor



    exporting your key:
    gpg --export -a usernameORkeyID >public.key

    Sorry Vk, I went dark for awhile due to projects I was working on, and you may have the process already.

    Ah .. so if I can remember the total process...
    Here is the general process.

    make sure you have a pgp/gpg key, post your public key for the initial async encryption ... this is the type where you receive someone's posted public key and then add that to your keystore, then craft a message for that person's key.

    Now if its just synchronous then... they've sent you a shared single key.

    Here on the bbs or fido, .. other packet mails you can post the message using gpg output of ascii armor ... which is basically clear text. This text you'll also use to post your key but you can use binary formats. I like the armor text style because its really versatil.

    So if we were trading messages and we did not have a single shared key we would use asynchronous encryption to trade the key, or via phone ... something like that.

    1) get gnupgp
    2) create a private key 4096 bit
    a) smaller key sizes allow for easier signature line use, but may cost
    in compromised communicates if cracked.
    3) output your public key to a file in armor text
    4) place your public key in a signature line
    5) anyone can get your public key and send you a private message that only you can unlock.

    openssl allows for armor text as well, but from the perspective of regular message communications like this one, only synchronous encryption (shared key).

    As many public keys you have, .. maybe you scraped/captures them from bbses or other places, any public key contained in the encrypted message, will allow all those with matching private keys to view/decrypt the message.

    Say you have created a message addressed to 3 people. During the process of assigning who should received the message [recipients], .. and you can add lots of them.
    When you post the ascii armor message on the BBS or wherever they have to actually download the message to the location where the private key exists.

    This means offline mail reader or something like that.
    The problem with private keys is they can't get into the possession of anyone but the owner, otherwise there is no non-repudiation! That is really important, and it has been mentioned in another post at some point about Proton mail and ... I think it was keybase.

    The short is .. on a bbs, like old school types, I don't know how it would work for that. I think there are ways, like software to create an encrypted tunnel into a stateless container that is only active for the time when the user is decrypting and reading the message.

    Lets say you upload your private key in the tunnel, (which I do all the time .. ssh tunnels) import it to the keyring and have the message imported to the container, the user decrypts, reads, then exits, and the container vanishes. Same would work for composition, and the output is the message to the bbs.

    The big flaw is trust, .. and if you've used containers, or cloud based systems, you know the owners of those systems ultimately have control of them, but.. that doesn't mean you can't create an encrypted container somehow or within an encrypted file system that the user supplies the key for like an ssl key.

    Offline mail does work well for PGP/GPG. I used to have a PGP add-on for Bluewave back in the day. A similar add-on could work for GPG and Multimail. It hooked the editor, the offline reader would call the encryption system, and if you wanted to write a message, the system would then pass control to the actual editor.

    No.., one cyber text, but within the encoded message exists multiple public keys.
    I haven't tried to actually identify a public key in a cyber text message outside of the gnugp functions. .. you can imagine though, the more public keys aka recipients, the larger the cyber text message can get.

    I'm looking to do some more in this space in the coming months... have a few ideas we might be able to test out. When I do, can I pick your brains about them? :)

    Hmm, OK. :) So multiplie ciphertexts, each a copy of the same

    No.., one cyber text, but within the encoded message exists multiple public keys.
    I haven't tried to actually identify a public key in a cyber text
    message outside of the gnugp functions. .. you can imagine though, the more public keys aka recipients, the larger the cyber text message can get.

    But given that encryption is normally done by a combination of public and private keys in pairs, how does that work?


    Offline mail does work well for PGP/GPG. I used to have a PGP add-on
    for Bluewave back in the day. A similar add-on could work for GPG and Multimail. It hooked the editor, the offline reader would call the encryption system, and if you wanted to write a message, the system
    would then pass control to the actual editor.

    I have not tried bluewave yet.

    I should have a working PGP/Bluewave setup in my old backups somewhere. Have to see if it can be tweaked to use GPG.

    VK, you doing anything with encryption these days?

    No, though I have the capability using Enigmail on Thunderbird, and a personal gated feed for this echo.

    What would you think about a "Puzzle of the Week" sort of thing, in which a short, random plaintext is encrypted each week, using variable encryption techniques, for folks to try to crack? No RSA-level stuff (which I'm
    guessing is the intended subject for this area), but start out with
    simple substitution cryptograms and progress from there. Thoughts?

    But given that encryption is normally done by a combination of public
    and private keys in pairs, how does that work?
    What I haven't done is look at a few file attributes where adding more public keys increases the size of the ascii armor file.

    If it does increase, then you could possibly assume mathematically that the difference between the same message with 1 recipient vs 2 recipient where recipient 1 is in both messages, the difference would be recipient 2 and you would be able to obtain their public key.

    How to find out? .. well it may be possible via gnupg.
    If you are in the recipient list, .. maybe remove all your secret keys from your key ring, and attempt to decrypt using gnupg and see what keys its asking for. Once you find out, then you can re-import your key and attempt to pull the other recipients public key out.

    A major problem exits due to salting. Where salting makes each encrypted message unique so how to overcome that where you have the original message, your public key, and some other unknown key inside the message, the deduction starts with (the message + your public key) - (unknown recipient public key. salt .. now you have this other unknown.

    I will have to spin up a vm and attempt these test. I've never tried it. I'm sure someone has already thought of this and tested it, but I've never research it before.

    In cases of cracking .. its best to just obtain the users key ring, and attempt brute force on each secret key.

    Offline mail does work well for PGP/GPG. I used to have a PGP add-on

    Yes, but we were discussing sending a message to multiple recipients.

    I haven't seen an interface for GPG available for Multimail yet.

    It just needs to be a wrapper for the editor function to make all the GPG functions available. Or alternatively, work with the Multimail developer to have GPG support integrated in, in a similar manner to the Enigmail plugin for Tnunderbird.

    I love encryption it's actually all I do I wrote a custom key that seems to keep the other guys out of my stuff. Apparently a simple cipher like aes-ecb w my key is good enough. It uses a custom algorithm to encrypt.
