In the future, instead of GPG or OpenSSL I would suggest an encrypted
filesystem such as an encrypted folder or partition or Truecrypt volume.
The advantage of those is that a single bit error is likely to only
affect one file. If you archive the files before transferring them to

That should be interesting.
I'm now leaning even more towards hex (base16) rather than base64. There
would be less opportunity for confusion for the OCR. I was thinking it
