PGP Version for Nym account?
|
|
| Peter Cordes 2004-11-10, 5:45 pm |
| Which version of PGP can be used for a nym account?
I could not create a nym account with neither PGP 8, 7 nor 6.
Can anyone give advice?

Hi !
>Which version of PGP can be used for a nym account?
PGP 6 or 2.x should be ok, not sure about the newer versions.
GnuPG should also work, but it might be a little tricky.
>Can anyone give advice?
You will have to check which nymserver supports which keys.
Send an email to help@nymserveraddress to get more information.
You could try the nymserver at Panta Rhei:
config@nym.panta-rhei.eu.org
help@nym.panta-rhei.eu.org
It will work with both DH/DSS and RSA keys.
Cheers,
panta-admin

My advice is to use the same version as the nym server does. Also make
sure your reply blocks use remailers that use this same version.
Basically you have:
1) PGP 2.x, the 'original' pgp, that uses RSA (version 3) keys and the
IDEA algo exclusively.
2) PGP 5.x-8.x, the up to date versions of that (uses both kind of keys)
3) GnuPG 1.2.x, defaults to DH keys and doesn't have native IDEA
support. GnuPG does a great job in breaking compatibility with other
breeds of pgp :-(( Signing should be ok with GnuPG though, encryption
might be another thing if I count in my own experience with it!

That is a good question I am not sure I know the answer to. Basically
you can look at the keys it has. They will either be created by GnuPG or
PGP 2.x or PGP 5.5+.
GnuPG doesn't have native support for version 3 RSA keys with IDEA
encryption. PGP 2.x has no support for all version 4 keys (both RSA and
DH). PGP 5.5+ has support for both kinds of keys.
So my best quess would be that a remailer with both types of keys should
work best with PGP 5.5+, a RSA v3 remailer works best with PGP 2.x (e.g.
Nym.Alias.Net). And if it has no IDEA support (you can send an
Encrypt-Key message through it to see if it supports IDEA), GnuPG would
be your best bet.
It is my personal experience that it is kind of daunting to get GnuPG
messages to decrypt with PGP 2.x (even with the -pgp2 option set in GnuPG).
There is also the issue of what nym software you use. If you use JBN2,
use PGP 2.x or 6.5.8. If you use QS, use PGP 7.x or 8.x (not sure if it
also supports 2.x).
Hope this helps,
Thomas
