gnupg

I have a script that has a part that looks like that: for file in `ls *.tar.gz`; do echo encrypting $file gpg --passphrase-file /home/$USER/.gnupg/backup-passphrase \ --simple-sk-checksum -c $file done For some reason if I run this script manually, works perfectly fine and all files are encrypted. If I run this as cron job, echo $file works fine (I see "encrypting <file>" in the log), but the file doesn't get encrypted and gpg silent fails with no stdout/stderr output. Any clues? It turns out that the answer was easier than I expected. There is a --batch parameter missing, gpg tries to read

How would I be able to decrypt some encrypted data on the client side of a web application? E.g. The data is stored encrypted on the server. It was encrypted using a public GPG key. The server sends the encrypted to the client. The client needs to decrypt it using their local private key. Assumably I would be able to pass the private key to the browser and use Javascript to decrypt the data. Jens Erat If you want to stick with JavaScript, then have a look at the LGPL library OpenPGP.js . I know I'm coming a bit late to this, but for future reference, there's always an option of using crypto

I'm using Travis-CI to provide continuous integration builds for a few Java open source projects I'm working on. Normally this works smoothly, but I have a problem when the POM specifies GPG signing, e.g. <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-gpg-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.4</version> <executions> <execution> <id>sign-artifacts</id> <phase>verify</phase> <goals> <goal>sign</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> This causes the Travis build to fail - apparently because it does not have a passphrase available while running mvn install .

I've been working a great deal with GnuPG lately and have come to depend on its ability to encrypt files, etc. However, I am currently working on a couple of projects that involve communication (i.e. chat,email, etc) where I'd like to use existing keys to encrypt/decrypt text itself as opposed to a "container" such as a file or disk image. I suppose I could encrypt the container, convert the stream to base64 (or something appropriate) then mark the text as such, but I would guess there is a more straightforward solution. I'm sure there is something simple I'm missing, but, well, I'm missing it

I have a new mac pro (OS X 10.9.5) that I get to set up from scratch. I want to install RVM and the first thing it says to do is: Install mpapis public key (might need gpg2 and or sudo ) gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys D39DC0E3 When I tried I got: gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys D39DC0E3 zsh: command not found: gpg I've tried to find a good guide on how to overcome this that also looks trustworthy but I've had no luck. Can someone explain what gpg is, why I dont already have it, and how do I get it the right way. GnuPG (with binary name gpg ) is an application

I'm trying to sign my git commits, but when I push them to GitHub they have the Unverified badge and The key whose key-id is in the signature did not sign this commit. Someone may be trying to trick you. GPG key ID: mykeyid I find this quite cryptic, in my world the id with which a commit is signed will appear in the signature, as the key with that id signed the commit! Question How is this possible, and how do I solve it? I especially want to be able to sign commits automatically from within my IDE, without needing to enter my passphrase every time. If interested, here is a summary of the
