- tptacek 11y agoIt's not; it's worse than using GPG in symmetric mode.
- vbezhenar 11y agoEncryption scheme is similar or identical, AFAIK. GPG requires a little bit of manual setup and you need not to forget to include key with the encrypted file. And, of course, to install GPG when you need to decrypt. I wanted to be able to decrypt the file on any system without any additional dependencies (except OpenSSL, of course).
