GPGTool
Zsh script to manage GPG keys without storing the master key.
This is currently in a TESTING state. Do not use for production unless you can manually verify each step doesn’t accidentally leak into your main GnuPG installation.
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.
