Openpgpjs: Trying to run the base example : Error decrypting message: Private key is not decrypted.

[swarminfo]

Hello,

I am trying to get the basic functionnalities working in openpgpjs. I saw a similar post ( https://github.com/openpgpjs/openpgpjs/issues/198 ) but it is for older version of openpgp and it didn't help. Here is the code :

//creation of some keys
var options = {
    userIds: [{ name:'Jon Smith', email:'[email protected]' }],
    numBits: 2048,
    passphrase: 'super long and hard to guess secret'
};
openpgp.generateKey(options)
.then(function(key) {
    privkey = key.privateKeyArmored;
    pubkey = key.publicKeyArmored;
    options = {
        data: new Uint8Array([0x01, 0x01, 0x01]),
        publicKeys: openpgp.key.readArmored(pubkey).keys,
        armor: false
    };
    openpgp.encrypt(options).then(function(ciphertext) {
        encrypted = ciphertext.message.packets.write();
        console.log(encrypted); 
        options = {
            message: openpgp.message.read(encrypted),
            privateKey: openpgp.key.readArmored(privkey).keys[0],  
            format: 'binary'
        };
        //DECRYPT ERROR : 
        // the decrypt instructions cause an error :
        // Error decrypting message: Private key is not decrypted.
        openpgp.decrypt(options).then(function(plaintext) {
            console.log( plaintext.data ) 
        });
    });
});

Could you help me ?
Also, while I am here, what is the cleanest way to use openpgpjs if I have PGP keys but I want to work with string and not Uint8Array ?

Thank you

I get the same error. I also tried to use openpgp.decryptKey but params don't seem to pass in the method.

It best to check out the tests for working examples of api usage:

https://github.com/openpgpjs/openpgpjs/blob/master/test/general/openpgp.js#L363

Also check the documentation for how to use the api (see README).

[jsatk]

I'm following the README exactly and have viewed the tests and I'm still getting that same error. I even used the PGP keys _from_ the test just to make sure mine weren't malformed and I still see the same "Private key is not decrypted" message.

Any help?

Thank you for your time

Hi Paul, doesn't look like you are decrypting the private key with whatever passphrase it is using before trying to use it to decrypt the message.
