Did you see:
--output-type
can be "base16" or "raw". "base16" is human-readable, and "raw" is useful
if you want to pass the output to another program like a bar code or
QR code generator (though note that scannable codes have some of the
disadvantages discussed above).
It is as easy as:
paperkey --secret-key secret-key.gpg --output-type raw | qrencode -o qr-paperkey.png
If you are curious David Shaw is one of the main GPG developers.
- felixr 13y agoI have to admit, I just read the 'What paperkey does' section. This section suggests to "re-enter those bytes (whether by hand or via OCR)" and does not mention QR codes. Next time I search the article for keywords before commenting...
- dfc 13y agoHow about everyone reads the entire article before commenting? I am a little surprised that anything else is even an option.
