    You would need to know the whole key to know. If there are blocks missing you cant get anything from a key. And you would half to see in in real life to corelate my user alias to my real identity. Which i originally going to use a key that i have for online accounts (a key for steamy) But i then realized that would then have my online account linked to my real identity

    It should be if there is chunks missing its unusable. At least thats my thinking, since gpg is usually a binary and ascii armor makes it human readable. As long as a person cannot guess the blacked out parts, there shouldnt be any data.

    Kinda like binary if your missing bits of binary in a program it should be unreadable

    –edit

    im full of shit Its base64 and you can somewhat decode it


  • Yes im aware of how asymmetric encryption works. Theres a public and private key The public key encrypts the private decrypts. You make a web of trust off of signing others public keys verifying there identity.

    I wanted a specific key pair for the hat for separation of online and in real life. I know you can’t learn much from an email, but still, Its my preference and it was i font that i liked and ended up picking. I understand it may not be your preference, please do not "yuck my yum’ there are BILLIONS of fonts out there and i picked the one i liked.

    Which on a separate note, i originally made a hat patch with a public key but it was DSA 3036 (the max size key i dont know if thats the right number.) And i etched it on the leather, each letter was 0.04 of a inch and was basically unreadable. So i ended up going with the default gpg preset for ecc

    From going do the rabbit hole with recently learning freebsd. Is that every good brand nvme ssd has a default password for hardware encryption and you can use certain software to change the default encryption key. However basically everywhere i read online said that hardware based encryption is rarely/never implemented correctly. So an attacker still can most likey retrieve data from the ssd, so basically software encryption will always be more bulletproof. Because people can steal your ssd or clone it and all data on it is useless without a header and key. If using full disk encryption, So basically software based encryption will always be alot harder to break than hardware encryption.
