Hi Guys,

I am trying to import the public of vendor to my system. I am getting below error while importing public key. can anyone please help me with this??

Code:

0x1545A56A52:import key (4007:key failed signature check)
secure.asc:import key (0:key imported as 0x1545A56A52 RAJPGP)


Any quick help is much appreciated!!!

This is suggesting that the file is not valid. Was it perhaps FTPed in binary, possibly adding the dreaded ^M on each line?

As a test, can you do a checksum on the source and the file you are trying to import?

It might be (looking at the message) that it has just warned you, but actually completed the operation. Can you list the keys back to check?
