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??
