From herbert at linuxhacker.at Tue Jul 20 10:09:26 2004 From: herbert at linuxhacker.at (Herbert Straub) Date: Tue Jul 20 10:06:56 2004 Subject: The GNU Privacy Handbook - possible error in the key integraty section example Message-ID: <40FCD336.1060905@linuxhacker.at> Hallo, the German translation of this handbook does'nt contain equal parts in the section: 3. Key Management / Key-Integrity. Werner Koch answer in the gnupg-users list, that the german examples are using own keys. Therefore the explanation text of the example contains the wrong key id in the german translation. I suggest an update of the key id. Details: The example in the english version: chloe% gpg --edit-key chloe Secret key is available. pub 1024D/26B6AAE1 created: 1999-06-15 expires: never trust: -/u sub 2048g/0CF8CB7A created: 1999-06-15 expires: never sub 1792G/08224617 created: 1999-06-15 expires: 2002-06-14 sub 960D/B1F423E7 created: 1999-06-15 expires: 2002-06-14 (1) Chloe (Jester) (2) Chloe (Plebian) Command> check uid Chloe (Jester) sig! 26B6AAE1 1999-06-15 [self-signature] uid Chloe (Plebian) sig! 26B6AAE1 1999-06-15 [self-signature] As expected, the signing key for each signature is the master signing key with key ID 0x26B6AAE1. And now the same section in the german version: chloe$ gpg --edit-key chloe geheimer Schl?ssel ist vorhanden. pub 1024D/1B087D04 created: 2000-06-07 expires: never trust: -/u sub 2048g/6A3E902A created: 2000-06-07 expires: never sub 1792G/7D5D4DAE created: 2000-06-07 expires: 2002-06-07 sub 960D/C0A27DBE created: 2000-06-07 expires: 2002-06-07 (1) Chloe (Journalistin) (2) Chloe (Freie Autorin) Befehl> check uid Chloe (Journalistin) sig! 1B087D04 2000-06-07 [Eigenbeglaubigung] uid Chloe (Freie Autorin) sig! 1B087D04 2000-06-07 [Eigenbeglaubigung] Wie erwartet, wird f?r jede Unterschrift der prim?re Schl?ssel mit der Schl?ssel-ID 0x26B6AAE1 genommen. Look at the Key 0x26B6AAE1. The german version does'nt have it. I think, it should be 0x1B087D04. 2. The header specify the mailinglist, but Werner said, that this list was closed, due to inactivity.
