I need a solution
Hi
While trying to decrypt a file received from a client I am getting the error “Private key not found” .
1080:no private key could be found for decryption.
I have done the following as mentioned by the user dfinkelstein in another post.
C:\Users\Administrator>pgp --list-keys
Alg Type Size/Type Flags Key ID User ID
----- ---- --------- ------- ---------- -------
1) My first question is from the above output which column displays prviate keys, and public keys.
I have also run the following
C:\Users\Administrator>pgp --verify "F:\esco\New folder\test.pgp"
and I get the following output.
file.pgp:verify (3144:data is encrypted to unknown ID 0x73345F23)
file.pgp:verify (1080:no private key could be found for decryption)
If I get the above output according to the user dfinkelstein it means "in which case you have no idea to whom the file was actually encrypted."
2) Can I conclude that the file was not encrypted for me and the problem is from our clients side?
Thanks
