Can't decrypt messages on openkeychain

Neighbor fucked with my phone and I had to hard reset it. I may have saved a public key but I can't decrypt a message from a website. Is there any way to fix this?

Is there an ubuntu GPG gui that will encrypt in ascii armour?

I'm experimenting with kleopatra.
But it outputs to a machine-readable format.

This isn't useful for, say, sending text files.

Is there a usable gui for ubuntu that I can use to encrypt and decrypt messages, and that can output encrypted messages in ascii format?

Cross-platform decryption issue

When I encrypt text with Kleopatra on PC, I cannot decrypt it with OpenKeychain on Android and PGPro on iOS. But when I encrypt with OpenKeychain and PGPro, I can decrypt it with Kleopatra. I am sure I checked "Encrypt for myself" every time I encrypt. What is the problem?

By the way, the texts I encrypted with openkeychain and PGpro can be decrypted successfully on all three platforms. It seems that Kleopatra is incompatible with the other two?

Thank you!

I’m so glad that I have found my GPG community! All 12 of us!

Seriously though, I’ve only met one other person face to face that likes GPG. This person showed me GPG. I guess I’m finally home!

Can someone please help kleopatra private key not working.

Hey guys long story short my computer with my keys on it died yesterday. I managed to get a picture of my key before it shut off forever. Was frozen so couldn't export.

I have spent hours typing it out exactly the way it should be but still can't import it to kleopatra. Is there a special font I have to use or something? Happy to pay for your time if you know how I can resolve this. Thanks

public key

I'm trying to paste my public key into a site named nex--. I'm on win11 pro using kleopatra. I saved my key and opened it in notepad. I get the feeling that notepad is saving some type of ghost chars to my clipboard, because it never saves right. Is there a way to open/view my public key inside of kleopatra so I can copy it directly from the app?

kleopatra "notepad" button missing?

Ive come back to using kleopatra after a while and all the tutorials i see have a notepad button on the right of the menu tabs. All i see on my app is "clipboard" but no notepad. Am i using a wrong version or are the tutorials just outdated?

Private Key Handshake Bottlenecks

Hi gang,

When it comes to encryption I have always wondered how recipients of a public key, encrypted message, get the private key to begin with. If you are using a pgp service there must still be a bottleneck somewhere where the private key is being created and then shipped to the recipient. I am familiar with man in the middle attacks and so forth, but to me it would seem the source of the private key creation and the handshake that server has with a recipient is the ultimate prize. Even sha-256, sha-512 and so forth seems like in due time will become obsolete if it has not already just on brute force attacks alone. I am curious about how viable these encryption methods are long term, but my main question is how safe are private key handshakes really? To me it just seems nothing is unbreakable, and where there's a will there's a way, but explained technicalities on bottlenecks would be great.

Thanks

Pgp public key

When creating an account for a website I am prompted with Pgp public key. Is this asking for me to create one with cleopatra or do I need to decrypt one on the website
