Renaming the public key file - Is there any issue for decrypt?.

I need a solution

Hi,

We create a service that will automatically import public key file from the specified public key name (lets say file name should be ClientPublicKey.asc file). After import the key from the specified public key file(ClientPublicKey.asc), encryption will start.

Client would have send the public key in any file name(AnyFileName.asc). I would have renamed client’s public key file name to a specified file name(i.e. Renaming file from "AnyFileName.asc" to "ClientPublickey.asc" file) so that the service will identify and automatically import that public key to the system for encryption.

My question is that, if I would have rename the file to my specified file name (rename from "AnyFileName.asc" to "ClientPublickey.asc" file) then will the client decrypt the .pgp file without any issue?. Is rename and import public key file(.asc) would create any issue for client to decrypt the file?. I just want to clarify this.

Thanks,

Ash
