Hi there, I'm wondering if gpg2 can be used to encrypt a file using a keyfile. The term keyfile is used to refer to a static file where the contents are read into gpg2 to be used as the passphrase for the encryption process.
for example: ccrypt -e --keyfile ~/.somefile ~/the_file_to_be_encrypted.doc So the above ccrypt command encrypts the file_to_be_encrypted.doc with the first line take from .somefile ccrypt -d --keyfile ~/.somefile ~/the_file_to_be_encrypted.doc.ctd and the above command decrypts it.... Is this possible with gpg2? I like this because I can use random files taken from the 100,000's+ static non-changing files on my system as passwords for encrypting and decrypting files etc. I'd just prefer to be using gpg2 as I can then specify algo's hash's etc instead of being stuck with AES. There are some files I don't like having to enter a passphrase for each time due to them be accessed very frequently, but I don't want the contents of them being stored plaintext either.
