Hello, I'Ve got some answers as PM, maybe they are interesting also for other list members...
My question was: >> Does it mean, that anybody who gets the papekey printout can >> restore my private key - even if he doesn't know my passphrase? Sure? >From David Shaw came the following: > Yes and no. Someone could restore your private key in the sense > that they could recreate the same secret key file that you have. > However, they could not use it as the paper key has the same > passphrase as your secret key. > You should protect the paper the same way you protect your > electronic secret key. And from Ian: > No the paperkey is encrypted with your passphrase as well. They > could restore your secret key but would not know but would need your > passphrase to use it. Thanks for the answers. I always was ready to burn my paperkey print. Now I don't need to do so. ;-) Regards, Dirk _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
