#!/bin/sh # # This example shows how to configure afio to read GnuPG encrypted archives. # What is GnuPG? # OVERVIEW # GnuPG is a complete and free replacement for PGP. Because it does not use # IDEA or RSA it can be used without any restrictions. GnuPG is a RFC2440 # (OpenPGP) compliant application. # (Some) Features # * Full replacement of PGP. # * Does not use any patented algorithms. (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) # * GPLed, written from scratch. # * Can be used as a filter program. # * Full OpenPGP implementation. # * Better functionality than PGP and some security enhancements. # * Decrypts and verifies PGP 5.x messages. # Where can I get GnuPG ? # http://www.gnupg.org/ # How can I use GnuPG to decipher my GnuPG (PGP) encrypted archives ? # # If you are using bash, you can use the input redirection by opening a second # input stream linked to a file containing your pass phrase. Be careful about # that file's permissions! # # only working with bash(?): # afio -ivzZ -P gpg -3 3 -Q --decrypt -Q --no-options -Q --batch \ -Q --passphrase-fd=3 -Q --no-verbose my_archive_file \ 3<my_passphrase_file
