      PortSystem 1.0

      Name: paperkey
      Version: 1.0
      Category: security
      Platform: darwin
      Maintainers: simon openmaintainer
      Description: Paperkey - an OpenPGP key archiver
      Long Description: ${description}. A reasonable way to achieve a long term backup of OpenPGP (GnuPG, PGP, etc) keys is to print them out on paper. Paper and ink have amazingly long retention qualities - far longer than the magnetic or optical means that are generally used to back up computer data. Paperkey provides an easy way to extract the necessary data of a private key so it can be printed and later reimported using the public key for example on a key server.
