I have two types of files

pubring.pkr
secring.skr

secring.skr is encrypted and not able to read.
How can i read secring.skr in text format after decrypting ?

is there any way of decrypting this file?

Unix HP - UX Version.

You need to install pgp package and then you can extract it with the command.

 
# pgp -kv   ==> Check user_id
# pgp -kx user_id ==> extract

I am not sure why you want to read public/secure key files.

You can get user_id without the pgp package

# strings secring.skr

Cheers,

secring.skr

above two files exist and pgp installed also - please see below error

pgp -kv 0xA69AB5E3
Invalid flag "-kv" on the command line.
