Hi.
I have to decrypt, with Bouncy Castle, a file signed and encrypted with PGP
v. 6.5.8.

I get the following error message:

...
org.bouncycastle.openpgp.PGPException: invalid key
Underlying exception: java.security.InvalidKeyException: can't recognise
key
type in DSA based signer.

As well not recognize a DSA key, right? How can I fix this?

Thanks in advance.
Regards.

The message implies that it's not a DSA key being passed to the verify
routine. Are you sure the keyid on the signature and the keyid on the
key match?

Regards,

David
