Elgamal Keys #154

Closed Achim16 closed 1 week ago

Achim16 commented 1 month ago

Good evening,

is there any reason why gpgfrontend does not support Elgamal (non-EC) in Keypair (DSA/Elgamal) nor Subykey ?

Thanks

That's a case I didn't discover. Maybe you can import these keys (if gnupg supports them) but ,unfortunately, can not generate a new one with GpgFrontend for now.

I'll learn this case and try adding on the support of Elgamal.

Thanks. GnuPG 2 definitely supports Elgamal, see option 2 on --full-generate-key. (Sub)Keys are to my view also correctly imported and shown in GPGFrontend (Algorithm ELG-E, algorith detail eg ELG20248). So it seems that only key generation is affected

After the commit 12fdf94, all these features mentioned above are fulfilled and will be available to users in version 2.1.4.
