Title: Need help with GPG setup Post by: 01BTC10 on January 08, 2013, 02:32:20 AM I'm trying to upload my GPG key to a key server but I can't find it when using the search option on http://pgp.mit.edu
Code: $ gpg --list-keys --keyid-format long Then I tried to manually submit the key "AB5363734E59D2C7" via the website but I get: Quote Error handling request. Exception raised: Failure("Error while decoding ascii-armored key: text terminated before reaching PGP public key header line") What is going wrong?

Nothing... if you are redacted@live.ca I pulled it down just fine.

When I put the key in the search box I get Quote Error handling request: No keys found Title: Re: Need help with GPG setup Post by: DeathAndTaxes on January 08, 2013, 02:36:52 AM MIT search engine is for the name of the key not the keyID.
For example our company KEYID is C26C17CD searching for that yields nothing but search for Tangible Cryptography and you will find the C26C17CD key. When manually uploading the key (which you likely don't need to do) you must copy the ENTIRE public key. The KeyID is merely an identifier it isn't the key. Think of it as a serial number for the key. For example, our company key KEYID (short version): C26C17CD KEYID (long version): 28BB715FC26C17CD Fingerprint: 3AF3 01A1 91EC E112 621C ACC0 28BB 715F C26C 17CD Actual Public Key Code: -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Title: Re: Need help with GPG setup Post by: DeathAndTaxes on January 08, 2013, 02:37:18 AM Thanks could you remove my email so spambots don't harvest it? spambots can harvest it directly from the PGP keyservers. :) Title: Re: Need help with GPG setup Post by: notme on January 08, 2013, 02:37:26 AM Oops, I mean:
