Conference rules for the PUBLIC_KEYS echo: rev. 2 JUL 01
Posting Frequency: 1st and 15th of the month.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. The purpose of this echo is to provide a place to discuss
public-keys for data privacy within FidoNet and elsewhere. We also
consider electronic signature possibilities using public-keys and
discuss data and software encryption and the various schemes and
programs that produce them.

This is a companion conference to PKEY_DROP Echo. It is distributed
via the same channels as PKEY_DROP. It is highly suggested that
both echos be made available on systems that carry one or the
other.

2. Stay on-topic. Topics of keys and encryption and related privacy
and electronic signature issues are welcome. Others are not.

3. No politics [except as it relates to privacy issues] and no
religion.

4. No personal attacks, slurs or innuendo. Stick to issues not
personalities.

5. No Private flagged messages in Echomail! Encrypted traffic using
public-keys is permitted for the exercise so long as it is
on-topic. Don't send person-specific encrypted traffic. Such
specific traffic belongs in direct Netmail. Encrypted traffic
should be in the form of ASCII-armored or personal key encrypted
messages that can be read by anyone with PGP 2.6+ and your
public-key. Include your public-key in a separate message before
sending such test messages in case the other end doesn't have it
or make them aware of how to get it from your system. If you just
want to post your public-key, use PKEY_DROP Echo.

6. Clear-signed messages are not encrypted and may be used freely in
this Echo.

7. This Echo may be traveling around the world so try to be concise.
Avoid excessive quoting for one-liner responses.

8. Be aware that Echomail is NOT secure. Don't take anything at face
value.

9. The posts in this Echo are the sole responsiblity of the poster. If
you need verification, use Netmail.

10. The Moderator will deal with off-topic traffic. Don't respond for
him. Links to this Echo will only be curtailed when absolutely
necessary so please don't make it necessary. [grin]

The Moderator is Mark Lewis at 1:3634/12. [KeyID: 0xB60C20C5]
A Moderator Emeritus is Jim Cannell at 1:15/21. [KeyID: 0xB7822B3D]

Conference rules for the PUBLIC_KEYS echo: rev. 2 JUL 01
Posting Frequency: 1st and 15th of the month.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. The purpose of this echo is to provide a place to discuss
public-keys for data privacy within FidoNet and elsewhere. We also
consider electronic signature possibilities using public-keys and
discuss data and software encryption and the various schemes and
programs that produce them.

This is a companion conference to PKEY_DROP Echo. It is distributed
via the same channels as PKEY_DROP. It is highly suggested that
both echos be made available on systems that carry one or the
other.

2. Stay on-topic. Topics of keys and encryption and related privacy
and electronic signature issues are welcome. Others are not.

3. No politics [except as it relates to privacy issues] and no
religion.

4. No personal attacks, slurs or innuendo. Stick to issues not
personalities.

5. No Private flagged messages in Echomail! Encrypted traffic using
public-keys is permitted for the exercise so long as it is
on-topic. Don't send person-specific encrypted traffic. Such
specific traffic belongs in direct Netmail. Encrypted traffic
should be in the form of ASCII-armored or personal key encrypted
messages that can be read by anyone with PGP 2.6+ and your
public-key. Include your public-key in a separate message before
sending such test messages in case the other end doesn't have it

Conference rules for the PUBLIC_KEYS echo: rev. 2 JUL 01
Posting Frequency: 1st and 15th of the month.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. The purpose of this echo is to provide a place to discuss
public-keys for data privacy within FidoNet and elsewhere. We also
consider electronic signature possibilities using public-keys and
discuss data and software encryption and the various schemes and
programs that produce them.

This is a companion conference to PKEY_DROP Echo. It is distributed
via the same channels as PKEY_DROP. It is highly suggested that
both echos be made available on systems that carry one or the
other.

2. Stay on-topic. Topics of keys and encryption and related privacy
and electronic signature issues are welcome. Others are not.

3. No politics [except as it relates to privacy issues] and no
religion.

4. No personal attacks, slurs or innuendo. Stick to issues not
personalities.

5. No Private flagged messages in Echomail! Encrypted traffic using
public-keys is permitted for the exercise so long as it is
on-topic. Don't send person-specific encrypted traffic. Such
specific traffic belongs in direct Netmail. Encrypted traffic
should be in the form of ASCII-armored or personal key encrypted
messages that can be read by anyone with PGP 2.6+ and your
public-key. Include your public-key in a separate message before
sending such test messages in case the other end doesn't have it
or make them aware of how to get it from your system. If you just
want to post your public-key, use PKEY_DROP Echo.

6. Clear-signed messages are not encrypted and may be used freely in
this Echo.

7. This Echo may be traveling around the world so try to be concise.
Avoid excessive quoting for one-liner responses.

8. Be aware that Echomail is NOT secure. Don't take anything at face
value.

9. The posts in this Echo are the sole responsiblity of the poster. If
you need verification, use Netmail.

10. The Moderator will deal with off-topic traffic. Don't respond for
him. Links to this Echo will only be curtailed when absolutely
necessary so please don't make it necessary. [grin]

Posting Frequency: 1st and 15th of the month.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. The purpose of this echo is to provide a place to discuss
public-keys for data privacy within FidoNet and elsewhere. We also
consider electronic signature possibilities using public-keys and
discuss data and software encryption and the various schemes and
programs that produce them.

This is a companion conference to PKEY_DROP Echo. It is distributed
via the same channels as PKEY_DROP. It is highly suggested that
both echos be made available on systems that carry one or the
other.

2. Stay on-topic. Topics of keys and encryption and related privacy
and electronic signature issues are welcome. Others are not.

3. No politics [except as it relates to privacy issues] and no
religion.

4. No personal attacks, slurs or innuendo. Stick to issues not
personalities.

5. No Private flagged messages in Echomail! Encrypted traffic using
public-keys is permitted for the exercise so long as it is
on-topic. Don't send person-specific encrypted traffic. Such
specific traffic belongs in direct Netmail. Encrypted traffic
should be in the form of ASCII-armored or personal key encrypted
messages that can be read by anyone with PGP 2.6+ and your
public-key. Include your public-key in a separate message before
sending such test messages in case the other end doesn't have it
or make them aware of how to get it from your system. If you just
want to post your public-key, use PKEY_DROP Echo.

6. Clear-signed messages are not encrypted and may be used freely in
this Echo.

7. This Echo may be traveling around the world so try to be concise.
Avoid excessive quoting for one-liner responses.

8. Be aware that Echomail is NOT secure. Don't take anything at face
value.

9. The posts in this Echo are the sole responsiblity of the poster. If
you need verification, use Netmail.

10. The Moderator will deal with off-topic traffic. Don't respond for
him. Links to this Echo will only be curtailed when absolutely
necessary so please don't make it necessary. [grin]

The Moderator is Mark Lewis at 1:3634/12. [KeyID: 0xB60C20C5]
A Moderator Emeritus is Jim Cannell at 1:15/21. [KeyID: 0xB7822B3D]

Conference rules for the PUBLIC_KEYS echo: rev. 2 JUL 01
Posting Frequency: 1st and 15th of the month.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. The purpose of this echo is to provide a place to discuss
public-keys for data privacy within FidoNet and elsewhere. We also
consider electronic signature possibilities using public-keys and
discuss data and software encryption and the various schemes and
programs that produce them.

This is a companion conference to PKEY_DROP Echo. It is distributed
via the same channels as PKEY_DROP. It is highly suggested that
both echos be made available on systems that carry one or the
other.

2. Stay on-topic. Topics of keys and encryption and related privacy
and electronic signature issues are welcome. Others are not.

3. No politics [except as it relates to privacy issues] and no
religion.

4. No personal attacks, slurs or innuendo. Stick to issues not
personalities.

5. No Private flagged messages in Echomail! Encrypted traffic using
public-keys is permitted for the exercise so long as it is
on-topic. Don't send person-specific encrypted traffic. Such
specific traffic belongs in direct Netmail. Encrypted traffic
should be in the form of ASCII-armored or personal key encrypted
messages that can be read by anyone with PGP 2.6+ and your
public-key. Include your public-key in a separate message before
sending such test messages in case the other end doesn't have it

Conference rules for the PUBLIC_KEYS echo: rev. 2 JUL 01
Posting Frequency: 1st and 15th of the month.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. The purpose of this echo is to provide a place to discuss
public-keys for data privacy within FidoNet and elsewhere. We also
consider electronic signature possibilities using public-keys and
discuss data and software encryption and the various schemes and
programs that produce them.

This is a companion conference to PKEY_DROP Echo. It is distributed
via the same channels as PKEY_DROP. It is highly suggested that
both echos be made available on systems that carry one or the
other.

2. Stay on-topic. Topics of keys and encryption and related privacy
and electronic signature issues are welcome. Others are not.

3. No politics [except as it relates to privacy issues] and no
religion.

4. No personal attacks, slurs or innuendo. Stick to issues not
personalities.

5. No Private flagged messages in Echomail! Encrypted traffic using
public-keys is permitted for the exercise so long as it is
on-topic. Don't send person-specific encrypted traffic. Such
specific traffic belongs in direct Netmail. Encrypted traffic
should be in the form of ASCII-armored or personal key encrypted
messages that can be read by anyone with PGP 2.6+ and your
public-key. Include your public-key in a separate message before
sending such test messages in case the other end doesn't have it
or make them aware of how to get it from your system. If you just
want to post your public-key, use PKEY_DROP Echo.

6. Clear-signed messages are not encrypted and may be used freely in
this Echo.

7. This Echo may be traveling around the world so try to be concise.
Avoid excessive quoting for one-liner responses.

8. Be aware that Echomail is NOT secure. Don't take anything at face
value.

9. The posts in this Echo are the sole responsiblity of the poster. If
you need verification, use Netmail.

10. The Moderator will deal with off-topic traffic. Don't respond for
him. Links to this Echo will only be curtailed when absolutely
necessary so please don't make it necessary. [grin]

Walk me through this Mark, I'm just learning about public/private keys and getting my head around all of this.

So I have installed a gpg4win bundle on my pc and have created a public key which I can post here and you (or others) can then use to encrypt a message
to send to me - right?

But if I were to post and encrypted message here it would be of no use to anyone unless I had encrypted it using someone elses public key (so they
could unlock it) - right?

Walk me through this Mark, I'm just learning about public/private keys and getting my head around all of this.

i'll try but it has been ages and ages... back then i was doing it with TimED and the original phil zimmerman PGP on my OS/2 box... i've not even thought to try it on this linux box but i have played about to see if i could get my ancient signed keys copied over and used with today's privacy stuff... i don't recall the results but it was a real ugly battle...

So I have installed a gpg4win bundle on my pc and have created a
public key which I can post here and you (or others) can then use to encrypt a message to send to me - right?

yes... your signature should also end up on one of the public keyring servers so that anyone can retrieve it... the trick is interfacing with FTN software if
you want to use it in this environment... the body of the message, without control lines, has to be saved to a temp file, pgp or gpg run on it to wrap and
sign it and then the temp file gets imported to replace the original... on my TimED/2 system, i have the following options and commands...

[C]lear Signed
x:\pgp\pgp -ast +clearsig=on x:\timed\timed.msg > nul
move x:\timed.timed.asc x:\timed\timed.msg > nul

Encrypt [T]o
input /C /E ID to encrypt to : %%encto
x:\pgp\pgp -e x:\timed\timed.msg %encto
move x:\timed\timed.asc x:\timed\timed.msg

Encrypt [F]rom
set encfr=0xMyKeyId
input /C /E ID to encrypt to : %%encto
input /C /E ID to encrypt from : %%encfr
x:\pgp\pgp -es x:\timed\timed.msg %encto -u %encfr > nul
move x:\timed.timed.asc x:\timed\timed.msg > nul

[P]ublic Key
copy x:\timed\timed.msg+x:\pgp\mykey.asc x:\timed\timed.msg


ok... all the above is done using TimED's external editor capability... i defined the editor as a BAT file... then we take steps to save a backup copy of
the message we're fixing to work on and clean up a few other intermediate files
to ensure they won't get in the way... then we fire up our external editor (qedit in my case) and write our reply or create our new message... when we exit the external editor, then the BAT file offers us some options to do PGP things to the message or add a signature of which one of several can be selected from or we can abort the message completely... the PGP things we can do are listed next...

"[C]lear Sign" signs the message file that it is fed... the resulting file has a different extension that we must move to the original file that the reader/editor is expecting...

"Encrypt [T]o" uses the 4DOS "input" command to get a string from the keyboard and save it to an environment variable... the /C clears the buffer of stray keystrokes... /E allows us to edit the buffer... the rest is the prompt... if i
were to encrypt a message to you, then i would type in your ID... the pgp "-e" option encrypts a plaintext file with the recipient's public key... then the text file is encrypted using your public key... the last step is to move the file to the original name...

"Encrypt [F]rom" does the same as "Encrypt [T]o" except that it encrypts with the recipient's public key as well as signing with my private key...

"[P]ublic key" just adds my ascii public key to the message so that others can add it to their keyrings...


it should be noted that TimED does also provide direct access to these functions via its execrypt, exesign, and execryptsign options... IIRC, those were introduced later after the above method using the external editor and kewl
BAT file majik... i've just never switched over although i do have something that i used to use in the exesign which was another BAT file allowing me to select a mood and have that added to the message as another control line ;)

eg: ^AMOOD: Fat and Sassy :)

But if I were to post and encrypted message here it would be of no use
to anyone unless I had encrypted it using someone elses public key (so they could unlock it) - right?

it works two ways...

1. if you post a message encrypted with your PRIVATE key, anyone with your PUBLIC key can decrypt it... that proves it was you that encrypted it...
2. if you post a message encrypted with my PUBLIC key, only i will be able to decrypt it...

then there's signing a message instead of encrypting it... signing wraps the message and places a digital signature at the bottom... others use your public key to verify that you really did sign the message *and* that it hasn't been altered in transit... signing is very common and generally seen in message posting areas... encrypted stuff may be used more in private transactions, though... i'm not sure there is a metric for counting those...

you can also encrypt and sign a message as seen in the above "Encrypt [F]rom" option...

we have to make sure that in FTNs, and other places like news groups and mailing lists, that we are having the tool to emit ascii and not binary... it is possible to encrypt a message and the result is binary which is sent but trying to get binary into a message and get it back out without altering it is tricky at best... much easier to use ascii which is already formatted and wrapped to 70 characters and ready to post anywhere...

Thanks :) Very detailed and looks good for those tools. I'm trying to figure out a way to do something similar with Mystic but at this stage I am unsure
how I could write something on the fly and have it posted encoded or read something encoded as decoded on the fly. It seems I could use the mutil tool
to post a manually created encoded text file with ease to a jam base and I guess I can manually export a message from a jam base to a text file then manually decode it.. it's just all rather labour intensive. :(

But if I were to post and encrypted message here it would be of no us to anyone unless I had encrypted it using someone elses public key (s they could unlock it) - right?

that it hasn't been altered in transit... signing is very common and generally seen in message posting areas... encrypted stuff may be used more in private transactions, though... i'm not sure there is a metric
for counting those...

OK, I will need to look at the tool I have downloaded to see how I could do that, although I am more interested in doing encrypted stuff using an
othernet to test things out as I realise Fidonet policy is not really an enabler of wholesale encrypted traffic :)

we have to make sure that in FTNs, and other places like news groups and mailing lists, that we are having the tool to emit ascii and not

Yep that's fine the tool I have been playing with does this with ease. I also came to the same conclusions quite quickly as well.

Thanks :) Very detailed and looks good for those tools. I'm trying to figure out a way to do something similar with Mystic

until/unless g00r00 codes something to handle it, the only way i know of would be a MPL script if MPL can be used to gain access to an external editor OR export a written message so that it might be signed or encrypted... looking at history, the only way this stuff was done was completely external to the bbs...
either as described with the sysop editor stuffs or via some sort of offline mail thing like QWK or BW which would use similar BAT files and definitely an external editor instead of their built in one...

but at this stage I am unsure how I could write something on the fly
and have it posted encoded or read something encoded as decoded on the fly. It seems I could use the mutil tool to post a manually created encoded text file with ease to a jam base and I guess I can manually export a message from a jam base to a text file then manually decode

figuring it out and getting it codified is the hard part... once that's done, it is easy peazy...

back in the day, most things were simply signed to try to show that they were written by the signee... it is all too easy enough to spoof another's address, name and writing style... encryption has been used in fidonet in several ways over the years... at least that which some thought to be encryption and could easily have been... do you remember ever getting text encoded binaries? ;)

i don't know... i haven't looked at the main machine today if that's where you sent it... i haven't seen anything here at this address...
