Summary: Use GnuPG for encrypting kwallet database / kwallet
access
Product: kdelibs
Version: 4.2
Platform: Debian testing
OS/Version: unspecified
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: kwallet
AssignedTo: lemma@confuego.org
ReportedBy: greve@fsfe.org
Version: (using KDE 4.2.2)
Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages
Passwords always have the problem that they are either easy to remember or
secure, but never both. That is why I have long, random-generated passwords
that are sitting on my encrypted home partition in GnuPG encrypted files.
These files can only be decrypted through my Fellowship smart card (see
http://fellowship.fsfe.org/card.html) for which the pin is entered at the
beginning of the session, and then is cached for the time that I keep it
plugged in.
The process of decrypting these files upon request and putting the password
into the appropriate place is burdensome - and I would love to leave it up to
kwallet if there were a way to get the same level of security, e.g. having
kwallet's database encrypted with GnuPG.
