Keyid different to KeyId hex

[faz]

Hi,
I'm trialing .net 1.7.1 version and have an issue
The key tool which shows Key Id, Key Id(hex), User Id etc.. on the
screen
just want to know if keyId hex is suppose to be the hex value of
keyid?
I have given a trail version to a customer and they have uploaded a
public key from a third party and tried to verify the hex values
manually and said they are different.

below are some of the keyId and corresponding hex values I created on
my machine

KeyId KeyId hex
-2672058889188267624 F3022998
-5757378496494347383 E6FB5B89
-2528766266245530163 9471BDCD

can anyone help?

thank you
Faz.

Hi Faz,

The Key Id Hex column represents the lower 4 bytes of the real key Id
(which is 8 bytes; System.Int64)
The main reason for this representation is to keep the library API
close to PGP (r) Desktop and GnuPG which both list Key Id's this way.

Please drop us a line if you require to have an additional method that
shows the full Key Id in hexademical format.
