No but there's a plugin which allows just that. Credit goes to Bodo Möller (3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de): <quote> You need the separate RSA module, which is not part of GnuPG for patent reasons (which only apply to the USA). The URL is ftp//ftp.guug.de/pub/gcrypt/contrib/rsa.c Compile it (the gcc command line that you need is given in a comment in that file), move the resulting file to /usr/local/lib/gnupg/rsa, add the line "load-extension rsa" to your ~/.gnupg/options file, and those keys should become usable. </quote>
