parcimonie - 0.11.0-1
main
parcimonie is a daemon that slowly refreshes a gpg public keyring
from a keyserver.
.
Its refreshes one OpenPGP key at a time; between every key update,
parcimonie sleeps a random amount of time, long enough for the
previously used Tor circuit to expire.
.
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.
.
parcimonie also ships a deprecated desktop applet that allows one
to monitor the background daemon's activities with a graphical
user interface. It may or may not work for you, depending on
your desktop environment.
