Hi,
not directly related to gpg...
AFAIK short messages are weak to build a strong message, but my question
is related to kbdx files, that are widely used by password managers
the specs are available at : https://keepass.info/help/kb/kdbx.html
basically, this is an encrypted xml file with an header
my question is : knowing that the file will begin with "<xml" does it
make it weak to decryption attack, and can it be used to get the key?
if yes, how do gpg protect a single file in a way that an attacker
knowing a part of the file can't decypher it?
thanks and regards
JLM
