Hello,  nice to see some discussion of iPGMail here.  I appreciate the input
from those of you who have contacted me directly with questions and
problems.  It seems to be stabilizing as I've seen fewer complaints and more
downloads recently :)  I purposely chose a low price for this app in hopes
of getting greater adoption and more feedback from users.

No, Keys.sqlite is just the database that holds the key metadata, it does
not contain raw key data.  Raw key data is securely stored in the apps
keychain which is not be accessible.

I will investigate using the iOS document APIs to see if one can pick up
keys directly from the Documents directory for the app so you could use
something like PhoneView or another tool to directly copy the private keys.
  Private key data is password protected, so if your password is strong
enough, it is fairly safe to send them over the internet.  If you chose a
weak password, then obviously, you assume the risk :)

Also, someone mentioned earlier that iPGMail cannot import private keys,
that is no longer true as of version 1.03.  It can import RSA keys from the
clipboard or directly from a mail attachment.

The reason DSA keys are not supported so far is that DSA keys are not
supported by
Apple's crypto APIs or keychain services.  I'm working on adding support for
public DSA keys soon.  Not sure about private DSA keys, that will probably
have to wait a bit until I figure out how to securely store the keydata
outside of the keychain.
