Secure wiping (even when it is possible) is something that is highly system-specific. As GnuPG is portable code, that can run on many different operating sysems, this is not appropriate for GnuPG. You don't state what operating system you are using, but there are many options available for most OSes if you look around.

More information: The tests fail only if I unset GPG_AGENT_INFO before executing make check. With GPG_AGENT_INFO available, "make check" works fine.

The test are not very good in handling the agent. My current task is to make gpg fully aware of the agent and that will also lead to a more stable test suite.

Take care, Ben From cryptostick at privacyfoundation.de Fri Apr 30 17:02:33 2010 From: cryptostick at privacyfoundation.de (Crypto Stick) Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2010 17:02:33 +0200 Subject: Crypto Stick released! Message-ID: <4BDAF109.2000800@privacyfoundation.de> Recently the German Privacy Foundation released the open source Crypto Stick! The GPF Crypto Stick is a USB stick in a small form factor containing an integrated OpenPGP smart card to allow easy and high-secure encryption e.g. of e-mail or for authentication in network environments. As opposed to ordinary software solutions, private keys are always inside the Crypto Stick so that their exposure is impossible. All cryptographic operations (precisely: decryption and signature because of public key cryptography) are executed on the PIN-protected Crypto Stick. In case the Crypto Stick was stolen, got lost, or is used on a virus-contaminated computer (e.g. Trojan horse) no attacker is able to access the private keys so that all encrypted data stays secure. The Crypto Stick is developed as a non-profit open source project and ensures a very high level of security due to verifiability and an attractive price. The open interface of the used OpenPGP smart card allows optimal compatibility with various software applications (e.g. GnuPG, Mozilla Thunderbird + Enigmail, OpenSSH, Linux PAM, OpenVPN, Mozilla Firefox). You can find more information at: http://www.privacyfoundation.de/crypto_stick/crypto_stick_english/ The Online Shop is currently in German only. Please mail me if you want to purchase a Crypto Stick and have trouble placing the order.
