# gnupg

**TODO**:
* Currently using graphical pinentry ... this would mean dependend on X11/wayland
  * could this be done with holo?
  * default to terminal-pinentry
  * `de-p1st-gnupg-x11` then changes the /etc/skel files to use graphical-pinentry



GnuPG german mini HowTo:
* [pdf](GnuPG_MiniHowto_ger_20200215.pdf)

One can use `/etc/gnupg/gpgconf.conf` to configure gpg and gpg-agent. However, not all options are available ...

```shell
gpgconf --list-options gpg
gpgconf --list-options gpg-agent
```

Using a smartcard:
* kuketz-blog.de: [gnupg-public-key-authentifizierung-nitrokey-teil3](https://www.kuketz-blog.de/gnupg-public-key-authentifizierung-nitrokey-teil3/)
* [gnupg.org -> Invoking-GPG_AGENT](https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/Invoking-GPG_002dAGENT.html)

Note about login shell:

> `/etc/profile` This file should be sourced by all POSIX sh-compatible shells upon login: it sets up $PATH and other environment variables and application-specific (/etc/profile.d/*.sh) settings upon login.


## gpg.conf

Location: `~/.gnupg/gpg.conf`

* https://riseup.net/en/security/message-security/openpgp/best-practices
  * https://github.com/ioerror/duraconf/blob/master/configs/gnupg/gpg.conf
  
## gpg-agent.conf

Location: `~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf`

```
# List pinentries: pacman -Ql pinentry | grep /usr/bin/
# If a graphical application shall use ones smartcard one needs to specify a graphical pinentry program.
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-gnome3

# Enable ssh to use a smartcard for authentification.
enable-ssh-support
```

Debug options:

```
debug-pinentry
debug ipc
verbose
log-file /home/__USER__/.gnupg/logfile.log
```

`gnupg` depends on `pinentry` and `pinentry-gnome3` is part of `pinentry`.

```
$ pacman -F /usr/bin/pinentry-gnome3
usr/bin/pinentry-gnome3 is owned by core/pinentry 1.1.1-1
```

## Graphical Login: /etc/profile.d/*.sh, bashrc, .zshrc.local

* Archwiki: [GnuPG#Configure_pinentry_to_use_the_correct_TTY](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG#Configure_pinentry_to_use_the_correct_TTY)
* These two shell lines are demanded by the gnupg documentation in the chapter `Invoking GPG-AGENT`
* man 1 gpg-agent -> EXAMPLES -> set env variable GPG_TTY in your login shell

One's login shell should run this:

```shell
GPG_TTY=$(tty)
export GPG_TTY
gpg-connect-agent updatestartuptty /bye >/dev/null
```

## SSH_AUTH_SOCK: /etc/profile.d/*.sh, bashrc, .zshrc.local

* Archwiki: [GnuPG#Set_SSH_AUTH_SOCK](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG#Set_SSH_AUTH_SOCK)

One's login shell should run this:

```shell
unset SSH_AGENT_PID
if [ "${gnupg_SSH_AUTH_SOCK_by:-0}" -ne $$ ]; then
  SSH_AUTH_SOCK="$(gpgconf --list-dirs agent-ssh-socket)"
  export SSH_AUTH_SOCK
fi
```
