I actually would be interested in how he would argue if he was the government and would want to prosecute hackers for that. Or both.

Terminal asks for passphrase even when passphrase is cached by gpg-agent
Hello, I have gpg-agent cache passphrase. When I run gpg -c text.txt it asks for passphrase twice like it normally would but Kgpg or KMail don't. What am I suppose to do to make both terminal and GUI apps use cached passphrase instead of asking for one? -- Regards, Sudhir Khanger, sudhirkhanger.com, github.com/donniezazen, 5577 8CDB A059 085D 1D60 807F 8C00 45D9 F5EF C394. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
Re: Terminal asks for passphrase even when passphrase is cached by gpg-agent
I have gpg-agent cache passphrase. When I run gpg -c text.txt it asks for passphrase twice like it normally would but Kgpg or KMail don't. -c is symmetric encryption, encryption with a passphrase. It is prompting you what the passphrase should be. If it were to ask you for your passphrase for *decryption*, it would ask only once (unless you make a typo). Encryption to a public key would be: $ gpg -r KEYID -e test.txt and it will never ask for a passphrase, since you don't need a passphrase for _encryption_, but rather for _decryption_. However, also signing the file will need your passphrase, regardless of the recipient. By the way, it is possible to specify a default recipient in the configuration file if you do not use a -r when encrypting a file with -e.

You probably mean that Kgpg asks just once. KMail isn't capable of creating symmetrically encrypted mails thus I don't know what you mean there. I have created a wishlist entry to change that: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337617 What am I suppose to do to make both terminal and GUI apps use cached passphrase instead of asking for one? That is not possible AFAIK because a passphrase used in symmetric encryption is not a passphrase in the usual gpg-agent sense. gpg-agent is used for asking those just because it's already there. You can call gpg in batch mode (which probably is what Kgpg does): gpg --batch --passphrase foo --symmetric file.txt Note that this way everyone on the system can see the passphrase in the argument list. You may use something like echo -n foo | gpg --batch --passphrase-fd 0 --symmetric file.txt instead (where echo is a shell builtin or something else that does not show its arguments in the process list).
