GnuPG setttings
In version 7.x, the encryption module of AutoKrypt and Automize Enterprise is a command-line wrapper around GnuPG 1.4.x.
Key Store Folder: This is the default GnuPG home folder normally located in the users home directory. This setting is currently read only.
Shell Command: This is the shell used on the operating system to
launch and run GnuPG commands.
For Windows NT family (NT, 2000, 2003, XP) the shell command used is cmd.exe (or
cmd). The /c switch tells the command interpreter to run the command and
return immediately.
For earlier windows versions (95, 98, ME) the command is command.com.
For MacOSX and Linux, the default shell used is bash.
Passphrase method: When Signing or Decrypting files or for
password based symmetric encryption decryption, the password has to be sent to
GnuPG via the command line. The 2 techniques available are:
1) GnuPG reads the password from a password file. This password file is
dynamically created before the encryption / signing / decryption
process. When the process is completed, the file is deleted.
2) GnuPG reads the password from System.IN. Here the password is piped to
the GunPG process using the echo command.
Command Time: This the maximum time to wait for the GnuPG process to run. The default is 300 seconds.
