Mark, thanks for the feedback. If the files are in the same directory as your regular GnuPG files, then maybe Powerarchiver is using some sort of embedded GnuPG inside?

Thanks Berhnard. I eventually found the source of these files. I use a program called PowerArchiver that does support PGP as well. It's odd as I have not actually imported nor created any keys in PowerArchver.

I'm not sure why they use a separate key file from the standard ones but hopefully will find that out.

The documentation can probably be improved on this point, see https://dev.gnupg.org/T4958

See https://gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/GPG-Configuration.html#GPG-Configuration

And pubring.gpg is not used anymore if pubring.kbx is there.

But the "PA" prefix is not something I've seen before, are you sure about this?

Best,
Bernhard

There are 2 files in that gnupg directory that I'm not sure the purpose of. I know private keys are stored in a directory called private-keys-v1.d and public keys are stored in pubring.kbx.

I have a file called PAPubring.gpg (111 bytes) and PAsecring.gpg (113 bytes) I'm guessing they are too small to be holding anything but just curious to what they are.
