1 boklm 418 This directory contains some scripts used to generate and use GPG keys
2     for Mageia.
3    
4     To use them, gpg needs to be installed, and ssss-combine ssss-split
5     binaries should be in ./bin directory (or path updated in config file).
6    
7     - generate-key : generate a new GPG key, copy the public key in ./public
8     directory. The private key is encrypted and copied in file
9     ./private/mageia-board-seckey.gpg. The password is split in 6 parts
10     using "Shamir's Secret Sharing Scheme" with this program :
11     http://point-at-infinity.org/ssss/
12     3 parts are required to combine the password and decrypt the key.
13    
14     - move-part : script used to move on a USB key one part of the password
15     and a copy of the encrypted GPG key. The public directory is also copied.
16     It takes as argument a number (between 1 and 6) and a path.
17    
18     - import-priv-key : this script import the private key in directory
19     ./homedir using encrypted key and 3 parts of the password. Copy all
20     password parts in directory ./private/parts, the encrypted key in
21     ./private/mageia-board-seckey.gpg, run the script and you should be
22     able to use gpg with "gpg --homedir ./homedir"
23    
24
