Secret keys are integrity protected by using a SHA-1 checksum. This
method will be part of an enhanced OpenPGP specification but GnuPG
already uses it as a countermeasure against certain attacks. Old
applications don't understand this new format, so this option may be
used to switch back to the old behaviour. Using this this option
bears a security risk. Note that using this option only takes effect
when the secret key is encrypted - the simplest way to make this
happen is to change the passphrase on the key (even changing it to the
same value is acceptable).
