Hey guys,
Having a little gpg issue I was wondering if someone could help me with.
A friend of mine sent me an encrypted message. So I searched online and
found a a set of keys that correspond with his email address. And imported
them. But when I go to decrypt the message, this is what I get:
[root@ops:~] #gpg --decrypt roger-message
gpg: encrypted with 2048-bit RSA key, ID 9617EA5C, created 2014-10-01
"Roger Sherman <rsherman@xxxxxxxxxxx>"
*gpg: encrypted with RSA key, ID 9A41C766*
*gpg: decryption failed: secret key not available*
<snip>
So maybe I just didn't import the right key? Or do you think the message
wasn't sent correctly? Who's the dummy here? Me or him? :)
looks like he encrypted with HIS public key. So you need his private key
to decrypt, obviously you don't have that.
I believe it's the other way around: he should encrpyt with your public
key, then you are the only person capable of decrypting (with your
private key).
