Globally encrypting to the recipient at all times | Fails is various ways via gpg.conf

Edit: In Kleopatra, the result is Unknown Recipient: 0000000000000 x recipients

IMHO, that is sort of a leak. I wouldn’t call that “hiding” but masking. You’re definitely not hiding the fact that others were sent the message, just not revealing their information.

Am I?

Solved by adding “default-key fpr”

Result:

Successfully decrypted the notepad

Note: You cannot be sure who encrypted this message as it is not signed.
Recipients:

  • 3 unknown recipients

Hello everyone,

In gpg.conf, with

throw-keyids

Encryption takes place.

Decryption results in:

“Failed to decrypt the notepad: Broken Pipe"

Recipients:

  • 2 unknown recipients”

hidden-recipient —> Kleopatra fails to open overall.

hidden-encrypt-to —–> via gpg.conf clears out all certificates

encrypt-to —–> via gpg.conf clears out all certificates

Socket log is working fine.

What mistake am I making here?

Thank you, all.
