If your passphrase is stored on a file on your computer, then you may as well have no passphrase at all, yes. The only safe place for your passphrase is your memory, and even that one is fairly easy to crack. A top-flight hooker costs $5,000 an hour (according to Eliot Spitzer), a great bottle of Scotch costs $250 (Glenmorangie Signet), and between the two you have a fairly cost-effective way to recover a passphrase. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
