I cannot figure out this pgp problem. anyone help?

https://github.com/seancolyer/gmail-crypt/issues/62

Im having this exact problem.. He never got a solution. I can ecrypt and send.. I even gave my key to a frind to test.. And I coyld decrypt fine... But I'm getting messages from multiple people and cannot decrypt. When I go in APG on my phone to decrypt usually itll say my user name and then I need to type my paraphrase under that... But on the ones I cannot decrypt it says "symmetrical encryption"... Then says invalid encryption data at the top of the page.

I honestly don't know, but try using the program Kleopatra for your encryptions. It's pretty fantastic, and not nearly as hard as what you're doing.

It sounds like the message was encrypted with a password instead of your public key.

symmetrical encryption - password encrypted message

asymmetrical encryption - public key encrypted message
