Quote from: Tellemetree on May 02, 2013, 10:36 am@Pine.This is probably a dumb question, but easier to ask than try and find the answer anywhere amongst this thread.I have PGP down pat (though clearly still more to learn).If you get lazy and include your public key IN AN ENCRYPTED message, will the key still decrypt fine?Not sure if the recipient has made a mistake or encrypting my key has bastardized it and made it unusable.Let me know if you can.Cheers - TelYes, it is fine.In fact I recommend this practice in general. In the context of traffic analysis, and using the techniques in the anonymous PGP thread of mine, you can make it immensely harder for the enemy to work out who is talking to who. Sending a pgp public key in an pgp encrypted message has a slight advantage which adds to that.On the topic of managled PGP public keys, this is invariably an OSX Mac problem. OSX has so many bugs and glitches related to the use of PGP it is insane. I can't even keep track of all of the causes, that is how bad it is, and I'm the founder of PGP Club, so I've seen a whole lot of pgp keys and pgp messages. OSX with PGP is a total usability fuck up due to various incompatibility issues. /rantIf you're using problems with other people receiving your pgp key, whether or not one of you is using a Mac then I recommend you use a key server.You can upload your public key by simply copy pasting it to a key server. Google key servers, upload your public key (by browsing using Tor) and then give that link to your friend if they have problems importing your public key. Key servers do a bunch of work to make character set, EOL issues go away.Just make sure you never use the public key you uploaded to the key server, anywhere outside SR in doing normal business.
