	Supporting GnuPG's Default: DSA and Elgamal by Crypt lib :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Which CryptLib Encryption/Decryption algorithm matches GnuPG's Default: "DSA and Elgamal"? Let's use latest version of Ubuntu as a reference point to constrain the GnuPG version - Assuming that is useful.

	Re: Supporting GnuPG's Default: DSA and Elgamal by Crypt lib :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Does not seem to answer the question, and in fact suggests GnuPG is not supported? One of our vendors specifically stated support for GPG using "DSA and Elgamal", GnuPG's Default is "DSA and Elgamal", and referencing Bruce's Applied Cryptography 2nd ed page 490 clearly states "ELGamal Encryption with DSA" is a legitimate "mixed mode" algorithm, and I've found a large number of confirming posts around the internet. Again, am I to conclude Cryptlib does not support "DSA and Elgamal" and thus does not support GnuPG's default? Or are you saying both of those options can be set for a single envelope?

GPG supports signing with DSA keys and encryption with Elgamal keys, and calls the result "DSA and Elgamal". cryptlib also supports signing with DSA keys and encryption with Elgamal keys. You have my permission to call it "DSA and Elgamal" too if it makes you feel any better :-).
