very good idea. Based on the GPGTools proposal I created one for OpenPGP.js that needs work: https://github.com/openpgpjs/openpgpjs/wiki/Gsoc-2012-proposal https://github.com/openpgpjs/openpgpjs/wiki/Gsoc-2012-ideas > and using the phone's QR-Code scanner in order to transfer your private key > to the Android/iOS device. > Apart from being fun and engaging for the user, its also more secure than > sending yourself the private via email. > Do you think that could be something thats worth mentoring? Have you considered the amount of data a QR code can store vs. the size of a private key? Best regards, Alex
