Bug#636036: ITP: parcimonie -- privacy-friendly helper to refresh a GnuPG keyring



Package: wnpp
Owner: intrigeri+debian@boum.org
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : parcimonie
  Version         : 0.5.1
  Upstream Author : intrigeri <intrigeri@boum.org>

  Description     : privacy-friendly helper to refresh a GnuPG keyring

 parcimonie is a daemon that slowly refreshes a GnuPG public keyring
 from a keyserver.
 .
 Its refreshes one key at a time; between every key update parcimonie:
   - sleeps a mostly random amount of time
   - asks Tor to change circuits.
 .
 This process is meant to make it hard for an attacker to correlate the
 multiple performed key update operations.
 .
 See the included design document to learn more about the threat and
 risk models parcimonie attempts to help coping with.


Packaging is mostly ready, Git repository:

  gbp-clone \
    git://gaffer.ptitcanardnoir.org/App-Parcimonie.git \
    --debian-branch=debian --pristine-tar

(upstream lives in master branch, apart of that it's a gbp-style
repository layout.)

Bye,
