Why our RSA key do not work on Windows
I promote encryption in my union, association and workplace. Currently, not every computer run linux, and some still run windows.
However, I succeed in making everyone use thunderbird; I try now to make every email encrypted. It work pretty well until I try to encrypt a shared address (let say "contact@org") :
The RSA key work well on thunderbird on linux, but fail to decrypt email on thunderbird on windows.
What am I missing ? Thunderbird seems to support ECC encryption; is it more suited ?

Most countries have regulations for companies to retain all internal communications for discovery purposes in the event that they are involved in a lawsuit.

Furthermore, unions have special protections for their information

in reply to menas • • •Okay for the record :
- ECC key work
- According to one randoms on stackexchange, ECC is as safe as RSA, and now got a patent free implementation ¹²
So it seems that they is no reason to not use ECC instead of RSA in this context
Is there any reason to use RSA or DSA when we have ECC?
