Hi,
I have imported the details given by my friend using
gpg --import <file>
Now i am using the encryption technique with my friend's key in the following way:
gpg --output out.pgp --batch --encrypt --recipient "FRIEND_KEY" test
and i am getting the follwoing error:
Code:
gpg: 421E287E: There is no indication that this key really belongs to the owner
So my doubt is , can i use the key generated by a different person ?
I tried to create a key of my own and I am able to encrypt and decrypt files with that key. But not able to do with my friend's key. What to do be done to use my friend's key in my login.

AMCRYPTSIMPLE(8) System Administration Commands AMCRYPTSIMPLE(8)NAME
amcryptsimple - reference simple crypt program for Amanda symmetric data encryption
SYNOPSIS
amcryptsimple to be called by Amanda only
DESCRIPTION
amcryptsimple calls gpg to perform symmetric data encryption on Amanda backup. amcryptsimple will search for the gpg program in the
following directories: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin
amcryptsimple uses one passphrase to encrypt the Amanda data and uses the same passphrase to decrypt the Amanda backup data. amcryptsimple
uses AES256 as the symmetric cipher.
HOW TO CREATE PASSPHRASE
Store the passphrase inside the home-directory of the Amanda user ($amanda_user) and protect it with proper permissions:
echo my_secret_passphrase > ~$amanda_user/.am_passphrase
chown $amanda_user:disk ~$amanda_user/.am_passphrase
chmod 700 ~$amanda_user/.am_passphrase
NOTES
Choose a good passphrase and protect it properly. Backup data can only be restored with the passphrase. There is no backdoor.
If storing and securing passphrase in your environment presents challenges, Amanda provide public-key data encryption through amgpgcrypt.
Public-key encryption uses the public key to encrypt and uses the private key to decrypt.
