That I guess would depend on the algo for the PGP key in question. The default these days is RSA 2048 for gpg, which as far as I know is not vulnerable to known plaintext attacks.
- sp332 13y agoThe trouble is, if you use the same key to encrypt the same plaintext, you'll get the same ciphertext. Then an eavesdropper can compare the ciphertext you sent her with the ciphertext you sent someone else and see if they are the same.
- croikle 13y agoThis is why all worthwhile encryption schemes are nondeterministic, incorporating randomness. If you encrypt the same data twice with GPG, the results will not be the same.
