  Description     : GNOME applet for OpenPGP text encryption

 OpenPGP_Applet allows encrypting and decrypting the content of the
 clipboard with a symmetric cipher using a passphrase. This is
 a graphical frontend on top of GnuPG.
 .
 Asymmetric decryption and clipboard verification are also supported.
 .
 Note : OpenPGP_Applet does not handle passphrase input. Since it also
does not
 offer terminal interaction unless explicitly run from there, it relies
 in practice on some kind of GnuPG agent such as pinentry, Seahorse 2.x
 or GNOME keyring 3.x to manage passphrase input.


OpenPGP_Applet is formerly part of Tails, the amnesic incognito live system,
and is now available as a standalone project for everyone to use :
 I'm packaging it upstream, and I'll be looking for a sponsor to
include it in debian (https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/6507).

Cheers !
