GnuPG

Setting up GnuPG

Install the following:

  • GnuPG - The GNU Privacy Guard encryption suite
  • GPGME - GnuPG Made Easy is a library designed to make access to GnuPG easier for applications.
  • gpgsm
  • GnuPG-agent? safely stores your passphrase for use by gpg, giving you the convenience of not entering a passphrase frequently without the insecurity of a passphraseless key.
  • dirmngr - daemon to handle CRL and certificate requests, and for CRL and OCSP checks.
  • pinentry - Collection of simple PIN or passphrase entry dialogs.

gnupg-agent

# ===== gpg-agent.conf =====
no-grab
pinentry-program    /usr/bin/pinentry-gtk-2
default-cache-ttl   600
# enable-ssh-support
verbose
  > `gpg-agent --daemon`

Arghhhh. gpg-agent creates a socket, located in /tmp. Attempts to connect to this socket look in ~/.gnupg. How do I stop this??
