You may invoke gnupg like this:

gpg --output szstt.asd ... mySecrets.txt

It's up to you, what file name you choose for the option  --output.


While I understand the need for file names other than
mySecrets.gpg  I think "application-IBM_2010-11-11.txt" looks way
less suspicious than szstt.asd.  That said both don't provide
protection against closer looks.


Ciao, Gregor
