Hello Folks,

I am working on a pgp encryption in HCI. I need to decrypt an incoming xml file using my private key. This file will be encrypted using the HCI public key beforehand. Now I am trying to create a public/private key combo using GnU tool. (Please bear with me I am new to this)

I go to cmd prompt (start it in admin mode) and type gpg --full-generate.

I follow the steps and the keys get successfully created.

I am getting errors like:

gpg: keydb search failed: provided object is too short.

So I tried using the GPA tool for creating the keys. I installed Gpg4Win along with GPA tool. restarted the system and when I start the GPA application I get 2 error boxes one on top of the other. No change after that.

1. the gpgme library returned an unexpected error at keytable.c:150. The error was: The provided object was too short. This is either an installation problem or a bug in GPA. GPA will not try to recover from this error.

2. GnuPG is rebuilding the trust database. This might take a few seconds.

I even tried Kleopatra and I am getting the same error!

Any help will be highly appreciated
