PIN-Entry-0.9.5
Introduction to PIN-Entry
The PIN-Entry package contains a
collection of simple PIN or pass-phrase entry dialogs which utilize
the Assuan protocol as described by the Ägypten project. PIN-Entry programs are usually invoked by the
gpg-agent daemon, but
can be run from the command line as well. There are programs for
various text-based and GUI environments, including interfaces
designed for Ncurses (text-based),
and for the common GTK and
Qt toolkits.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.8
platform.
