How can I encrypt a file using `gpg` without including the recipient's key ID? You, sir/ma'am, are a genius. I can't believe I didn't spot this. |

How can I encrypt a file using `gpg` without including the recipient's key ID? Isn't there a way using PGP that you can publicly distribute your public keys, while hiding who the intended recipient is of an encrypted message? I don't see a reason why this couldn't be possible in theory. Why doesn't GPG simply omit the recipient's key ID in plain-text in the created encrypted message? |

How can I encrypt a file using `gpg` without including the recipient's key ID? Thanks for your answer. I've edited the question to make it clear that I don't want any information about the recipient or the sender to leak. If an attacker found the encrypted message on a USB stick, they should not gain any information from it. |

Lessons learned and misconceptions regarding encryption and cryptology PGP does not use the same key pair for signing and encryption. Rather, a PGP private key is composed of a main key, used for signing, and one or more subkeys, used for encryption. The subkeys are hidden from the user, hence the confusion, but you can view them using gpg --list-secret-keys. |

Can all the (other) recepients of a PGP encrypted message be identified? See also: security.stackexchange.com/q/25170/15712 |
