Thank's for all Atom !
It works.
Almost ... actually I still can't force gpg to use the secret RSA key to
cypher.
gpg -aer [long_or_short_key_id]! [file] => it uses the public key anyway
whithout asking for a special subkey.
Actually with gpg i can't see the difference between the private key and the
public key whereas i know there is a big one ;).
The two keys fingerprints of the pair must be different but i can't see it and
moreover it looks like pub=sec.
By using :
gpg --list-keys
gpg --list-secret-keys
the only difference is the "pub" and "sec" field whereas it should'nt.
Finally i tried :
gpg -aer [long_or_short_key_id]!sec[file] => error
gpg -aer [long_or_short_key_id] [file] => normal using
gpg -aer [long_or_short_key_id]![file] => idem
Is it possible to separate the secret key from the public one?
