Hi, complete noob here. I have a dual boot system, Windows/Linux, on
which I generated my GPG key pair in Windows....
comp.security.pgp is a better place to ask GPG questions; sci.crypt is
supposedly mostly about crypto algorithms, research, etc. But I'll try.
Two questions:
1. What do I need to do so that I have the same level of trust on my
Linux public key as I had in the original Windows key?
Use gpg --edit-key to mark the key as ultimately trusted. Check the
docs for the exact method, I don't remember the specifics.
2. If I change the password on one of the (private) keys will I still
be able to decrypt messages encrypted with the with the other (public)
key?
Yes.
