GPG wants to flip around 1024 bit numbers. I suspect that is a bit much to ask from a scripting language like js. And why the existing encryption plugin uses a much simpler algorithm.
Maybe something like TiddlyWeb could access gpg code on the local server to do the heavy work of converting RSA and IDEA encrypted text into plain text. But then how it would it send it? Maybe via a 128 bit https/ssl channel. If you're not guarding state secrets, why not just use the existing encryption plugin, and send the password to everyone that you want to access it? PGP/GPG is neat, but its most useful when you don't have a secure method of distributing password keys. If you have a method, then maybe its just an extra layer of complexity. -- Mark On May 15, 1:22 am, 9600 <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > I'd like to be able to store root passwords and the like in a > TiddlyWiki, and access to be controlled via GnuPG (PGP) keys.
