unable to decrypt certain files with secret key pgp 6.5.8, any advice?
- by pythonian29033
Ok so I do some stuff for a client of ours that requires me to decrypt some of their suppliers messages, the thing is, something weird happened the other day and I can only decrypt some files with an old decryption script, but for certain files I get the error:
"Message is encrypted.
Cannot decrypt message. It can only be decrypted by:
2048 bits, Key ID 98627E12, Created 2000-03-02
"Other Guy ""
as you can see, the key is ancient and I was still 9years old when it was created, so I have know idea who this "Other Guy" is. . .and I can't understand why I'm able to decrypt some of the supplier's files with the decryption script, but for others it fails.
PS: the supplier only uses one public key, so this should work for all the files, any advice?
