SecureBlackbox 16: How Do I Create Keys Compatible with PGP 2.6.x?

PGP 2.6.x accepts only RSA keys without subkeys, encrypted with the IDEA algorithm. Thus, you should use the following call to the Generate method:


Generate("your-password",  // key password
  1024,   // bits
  SB_PGP_ALGORITHM_PK_RSA, // RSA algorithm
  true, // use old (2.6.x ) format
  0 // never expires
);
