Key overview
| Key version | V2 |
|---|---|
| Specification | RFC 1991 · RFC 2440 |
| Status | Obsolete – legacy, kept for historical compatibility only |
| Primary key (certify, sign) | RSA 1024 · ID 1 |
| Encryption subkey | None: version 2 and 3 keys have no subkeys, the primary RSA key also encrypts (C/S/E derived from the algorithm) |
| Fingerprint | 6BC0D98BBD116770A8490E45FD1AC24C |
| Passphrase of the private key | synthetic-key-password |
Algorithms and use
RSA 1024: RSA with a modulus of 1024 bits, considered breakable today. Kept only for historical compatibility; GnuPG accepts it, Sequoia and rPGP-based tools reject keys below 2048 bits, and so does the keys2 keyserver.
Public key
The public key with its user ID and self-signature. Version 2 and 3 keys have no subkeys: the same RSA key verifies signatures and is used to encrypt to this test identity.

Verify the signature
Version 3 and 2 keys need GnuPG 1.4 (gpg1) with explicit allowance for MD5, or historical PGP, or CH-J Tools. Use a temporary GNUPGHOME so the test key does not enter your real keyring:
export GNUPGHOME="$(mktemp -d)"
gpg1 --allow-weak-digest-algos --import pgp-example-43-public.asc
gpg1 --allow-weak-digest-algos --verify test_1MB.bin.asc test_1MB.bin
