PGP and GPG keys...



Hi,

I'm currently ramping up to help Hakan Ardo mantaining the
toolchain-source package. I have already mailed him about it
and he's very happy to get help :-). Now to my question:

I have, and use, PGP 8.1 from PGP Corporation and have a key(s)
there which I use to encrypt and/or sign email with. Can I use
this key in the debian project, or do I have to create a new
GPG key?

I saw somewhere that PGP keys are depreciated as PGP uses
algorithms that are not DSFG-free. However, are not the keys
themselves just a private/public key-pairs which should be
usable together with GPG? I would really like to be able to
reuse my PGP key in the debian project. Can I use some sort
of conversion tool to create a GPG-keyfile from my PGP-key?

I know that I can decrypt/verify files encrypted/signed with
GPG using my installed PGP, is the inverse is true?

Regards
