To all,

I have noticed that in the RFC, it says to use PKCS-1 padding for "Public
Key Encrypted Session key Packets", however, I was wondering what padding
to use for symmetrical encryption using OpenPGP's version of CFB?

I can't seem to find any references anywhere.


You do not need padding with CFB and OpenPGP CFB.
CFB turns a block cipher into a stream cipher.
