If you want to setup some default options for new users, put configuration files in /etc/skel/.gnupg/. Gnupg_home/gpg.conf (or /etc/gnupg/gpg.conf) no-default-keyringĪdditionally, pacman uses a different set of configuration files for package signature verification. For example, to make GnuPG always use a keyring at a specific path, as if it was invoked as gpg -no-default-keyring -keyring keyring-path. Do not write the two dashes, but simply the name of the option and required arguments.

See the GnuPG manual for a comprehensive list.Ĭreate the desired file(s), and set their permissions to 600 as discussed in #Home directory.Īdd to these files any long options you want. These two configuration files cover the common usecases, but there are more auxiliary programs in the GnuPG suite with their own options. See Dirmngr Options for possible options.

dirmngr is a program internally invoked by gpg to access PGP keyservers. dirmngr checks gnupg_home/nf and /etc/gnupg/nf.Since gpg is the main entrypoint for GnuPG, most configuration of interest will be here. gpg checks gnupg_home/gpg.conf (user) and /etc/gnupg/gpg.conf (global).For arguments you would like to be the default, you can add them to the respective configuration file: In case this directory or any file inside it does not follow this security measure, you will get warnings about unsafe file and home directory permissions.Īll of GnuPG's behavior is configurable via command line arguments. This is for security purposes and should not be changed. Only the owner of the directory has permission to read, write, and access the files. īy default, the home directory has its permissions set to 700 and the files it contains have their permissions set to 600. Set the $GNUPGHOME environment variable.The GnuPG home directory is where the GnuPG suite stores its keyrings and private keys, and reads configurations from. If you want to use a graphical frontend or program that integrates with GnuPG, see List of applications/Security#Encryption, signing, steganography. The shell script /usr/bin/pinentry determines which pinentry dialog is used, in the order described at #pinentry.

This will also install pinentry, a collection of simple PIN or passphrase entry dialogs which GnuPG uses for passphrase entry. GnuPG also provides support for S/MIME and Secure Shell (ssh). A wealth of frontend applications and libraries are available. GnuPG, also known as GPG, is a command line tool with features for easy integration with other applications. GnuPG allows you to encrypt and sign your data and communications it features a versatile key management system, along with access modules for all kinds of public key directories.
