Title: PGP problem - Anyone use hanewin.net?
Post by: MKultra on April 20, 2013, 12:51 am
I'm having a problem getting a vendors public key to save in my keychain. He said mac users have a problem for some reason. This is the only time I have encountered this problem. He recommended using hanewin.net for pgp encryption to him, but I worry that a site like that is vulnerable, if not a honey pot.

Has anybody else experienced this problem or used this site? Thanks!

You can use w.e you like to encrypt, but all any one here will use is pgp, so my only advice to you, is to read till your eyes bleed, and learn PGP OR DIE. lol . much love.

Another Mac user who can't import keys or see the keys they have imported...

Never use a web site or third party service to do your encryption for you.

Thanks for replying to the post everyone, and for confirming my suspicions about third party encryption. 

I probably should have prefaced with the fact that I have used PGP for over a year with zero problems. I import 99.9% of keys with no problem. However, this one particular vendors key acts like it imports, but then fails to show up in the list when I go to encrypt a message. I guess it's just an anomaly. Thanks again.
