Due to metadata and redundancy, +OpenPGP secret keys are significantly larger than just the "secret +bits". In fact, the secret key contains a complete copy of the public +key. Since the public key generally doesn't need to be backed up in this way +(most people have many copies of it on various keyservers, Web pages, etc), +only extracting the secret parts can be a real advantage. Paperkey extracts +just those secret bytes and prints them. To reconstruct, you re-enter those +bytes (whether by hand or via OCR), and paperkey can use them to transform +your existing public key into a secret key. +EOF diff --git a/crypto/paperkey/HISTORY b/crypto/paperkey/HISTORY new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..380fcc691d --- /dev/null +++ b/crypto/paperkey/HISTORY @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +2007-10-20 Ladislav Hagara <hgr@vabo.cz> + * DETAILS, HISTORY: created this spell, version 0.7 + |
