<div>Daer John </div>
<div>timo replied me that it is stored in some memory..so i asked this after all it has to be part of somthing so that it is used whether internally or externally.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>how else does the verification says bad passphrase where does it check or what does it check to come to conlusion of accepting the passphrase or rejecting the passphrase in symmetric encryption, decryption, or signing or editing a key
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Can u please put some highlight on this </div>
<div>regards --vineet madan<br><br> </div>
