# GPGTool
2022-07-19 11:49:36 +02:00
Zsh script to manage GPG keys without storing the master key.
GPG lets you have sub keys for encryption and for signing without having access
to the secret part of the master key. That way you can use your GPG key without
fear of having your secure identity compromised should you ever “lose” your
keys.
An attacker will be able to use the currently valid sub keys until you revoke
them. They will _never_ be able to create new sub keys for your master key.
So in case of compromise of your GPG key(s), whip out your securely stored
master key, invalidate your current sub keys, make sure to propagate that e.g.
via key server and generate new sub keys.
## Installation
Download / clone this repo and put it somewhere. Either run `gpgtools` from
there directly or put it in your `PATH`.
If you want to package this for your flavour for \*nix, go ahead. Its GPL.
