GPG encryption question

Hi,

I've been stepped into wonderful world of maemo just recently, but
already facing some questions.

How do I use GPG for public-key encryption in N810?

I can create key (in my laptop), import that to N810's gpg keyring,
but encryption (in N810 shell) gives result like:

gpg: test.txt: encryption failed: unusable public key

Looking forward for some ideas, how to implement public key encryption
in N810 shell script.

BR,

Pasi

Re: GPG encryption question [In reply to]

gnupg seem's to support only DSA keys on maemo.

DSA & Elegam and RSA algo isn't available.

Re: GPG encryption question [In reply to]

DSA keys does not work for encryption? It seems to me like that. Here
is outcome of keygeneration on N810:

---CUT---
Possible actions for a DSA key: Sign Authenticate
Current allowed actions: Sign

(S) Toggle the sign capability
(A) Toggle the authenticate capability
(Q) Finished
--CUT---

If so, I am unable to encrypt anything on default maemo platform on my
N810, right?
