No mention of an agent. One of the nice features of GPG/PGP is gpg-agent which lets me use GPG without having to type in a passphrase every time.

- heyjudy 8y agoIt also replaces ssh-agent. I also use monkeysphere to store SSH keys in GPG. It's a far better solution than ssh keys lying around requiring management.
- bogomipz 8y agoInteresting, can you what are the benefits of using gpg-agent over ssh-agent for managing ssh keys?
- eikenberry 8y agoNothing other than not needing ssh agent so it saves resources by not needing 2 agents. The gpg-agent takes care of both.
