OpenPGP "Secret key not found" - Error

[oky dov Ochert]

I have GPG Decryption package  with Cozyroc component.

Most files decrypt ok.

Files from one vendor do not decrypt. I get a message :

[OpenPGP Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Secret key not found.".

I then use Klepatra and decrypt them with the same key.

Any Ideas?

Hi,

Check the secret key ring you have setup or the key password.

As I noted above, the same key ring and same password in same task decrypts files from other vendor.

To the task I only changed the parameter of Source to a file of a different vendor and it failed decryption. Moved back and decrypted.

The other file is probably encrypted with the correct public key. That's why it decrypts. Check and make sure the input file is encrypted with the correct file.

I can decrypt both files with the same private key and password in Kleopatra (manually).

We cannot do any further analysis without you providing the failing encrypted package and also the required secret key. And I don't think you can do that.

I will try to ask the vendor to create a test file with a test key I provide them.

Investigated further, I found that in Kleopatra I had an expired private key that matched this file id.

I don't know how the expired key got decrypted, but I will ask them to change it.
