Title: gpa in liberte, what am i doing wrong?
Post by: kremlin on May 03, 2012, 01:47 pm
i have tried to send a couple messages and was told by the recipients that they couldnt decrypt them properly.  heres what i did:
copy/pasted their public keys into text files
imported those files into gpa
wrote my message in the gpa clipboard
encrypted it using the public key i had imported for the recipient
copy/pasted into message and sent

??? 

seems pretty straightforward but i was told twice that my message wasnt readable...

if anyone could help me out, maybe by just posting public key and letting me try to reply to you and then telling me if it worked or not, it would be appreciated.

or try

p3lr4cdm3pv4plyj.onion/test.php

I had once a problem with GPA on Windows, where i could not decode text, i think it was because of encoding.
I use Kleopatra since this.

If this won't help, you could use http://gpg4usb.cpunk.de/ for encrypting/decrypting your text.
Just import your key and the public keys from others and it should work.

Worked without problems.

Maybe the problem appears only with some non ASCII characters?

Or the others use an old GPA version.

thanks for the help.  the test site also worked for me so i will chalk it up to an anomaly or copy paste error.

No problem. It seems really, that it was like some sort of an anomaly.
If it should happen again, ask them what error text the program gives them.

Until then, have fun. :-)
