           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.
