You could write a wrapper around it. Note, that you can't know if someone is using a passphrase protected private-key or not from his public key.

First article I found that gave detail on the purpose/use of the passphrase. Thanks! I think this article was great. First article I found that gave detail on the purpose/use of the passphrase.

However, I don't know if it's a good idea security wise, as someone might have tampered with the program. I think it is best to use it on a computer which only you use.

The government doesn't disclose any information about what they can do with it. Both are widely used so I think they should be good enough. 2. RSA and DSA are completely different algorithms. You can't use both for the same key. 1. The government doesn’t disclose any information about what they can do with it. Both are widely used so I think they should be good enough.

Indeed the information gives a very clear understanding. I have two questions. 1. DSA - govt Standard ,does it mean RSA cannot be decrypted? 2. Can I use rsa and dsa? Are they going to conflict each other? thank you, Palanikumar I like the way the information is provided. Indeed the information gives a very clear understanding.

I have two questions.

1. DSA – govt Standard ,does it mean RSA cannot be decrypted?
2. Can I use rsa and dsa? Are they going to conflict each other?

thank you,
