Hi,
I'd like to announce a program I wrote to backup GnuPG and SSH keys as
qrcodes on paper:
paperbackup.py
https://github.com/intra2net/paperbackup
This is designed as fallback if all your regular backups failed to restore or
were lost.
Usage is like this:
gpg2 --armor --export "User Name" >key.asc
gpg2 --armor --export-secret-key "User Name" >>key.asc
paperbackup.py key.asc
paperrestore.sh key.asc.pdf | diff key.asc -
lpr key.asc.pdf
You'll find all the details, reasoning and examples in the README.
Kind regards,
Gerd
