Re: [Tails-dev] Suggestion for added package: paperkey
I haven't touched it in a while since I got stuck while using Tails/squeeze for the uses we need it for. I have submitted a proposal for a project that includes a little work on cleanroom, so I do hope to get back to it in a focused way in the not-too-distant future. For the core use of creating a master GnuPG key and generating subkeys, I think that TAILS already has everything there. opensc is included, right? opensc will probably need to be backported to wheezy then included since they've recently made big strides in making it work a lot easier. For all of the uses that we have for cleanroom, I'm guessing there will be far too many packages to include. For example, we want to do Android signing key management, so that means Java keyrings, so that means default-jdk. But I'll keep this question in mind when I get back into it. .hc intrigeri: Hi, Daniel Kraft wrote (17 Dec 2014 19:29:03 GMT) : I would like to suggest adding paperkey (as in the Debian package repository) to Tails.

[Tails-dev] Suggestion for added package: paperkey
Hi! I would like to suggest adding paperkey (as in the Debian package repository) to Tails. This is a tool to export the raw secret part of a GPG key, for instance, to back it up on a paper print-out. I've just used Tails to create an offline GPG identity key. It would be handy (and, IMHO, fit to the principles of Tails) to have paperkey installed in order to create a minimal backup of the key, all without ever connecting to the internet. (In my case, I've downloaded the .deb package separately and installed it within Tails to do the backup, but it would be much easier to have paperkey preinstalled.) What do you think?
