Code Issues Releases Activity

Passphrase now passed to gpg from stdin via the --passphrase-fd 0 option instead of via the --passphrase option. The latter exposes the passphrase to observation by other processes on the system and the gpg man page includes a disclaimer for it: Don't use this option if you can avoid it. Although the README recommends a single user, ephemeral Debian Live environment, users may choose to ignore that recommendation so it seems best to protect them from themselves where possible.
