Hi *,

I have been using the gpg .. am a novice in this.

I have encrypted a string and when i try t decrypt this i get the error =
message saying
gpg: no valid OPENPGP data found
gpg: decryption failed: bad key

and so i tried gpg --verify file.gpg
C:\proj\files>gpg --verify file.gpg
gpg: Signature made 03/13/02 15:31:22  using DSA key ID 727B7019
gpg: Good signature from "jayachristina (programmer) =
<jayachristina@hotmail.com>"



Is there anything i have been missing.
I did the following:
gpg --gen-key
gpg -s file
gpg -sa file
gpg --verify file.gpg
gpg --verify file.asc



Somebody pleease help.
Thanx.
Ciao
Jaya
