Hi, By de-digesting the FreshMeat [fm] digest, I have found the (apparently) new version 1.2 of your package paperkey. (Old version last notified/in tree was 1.1). (This is just for your information. You decide whether to upgrade a package or not.) Location: Extra Information: [027] PAPERKEY 1.2 Project Tags: Security, Cryptography Description: A reasonable way to achieve a long term backup of OpenPGP (GnuPG, PGP, etc) keys is to print them out on paper. Due to metadata and redundancy, OpenPGP secret keys are significantly larger than just the "secret bits". In fact, the secret key contains a complete copy of the public key. Since the public key generally doesn't need to be backed up in this way (most people have many copies of it on various keyservers, Web pages, etc), only extracting the secret parts can be a real advantage. Paperkey extracts just those secret bytes and prints them. To reconstruct, you re-enter those bytes (whether by hand or via OCR), and paperkey can use them to transform your existing public key into a secret key. Changes: Output files are now generated with more restrictive permissions. Minor documentation changes were made. gnulib was refreshed.
