Binary package “parcimonie” in ubuntu oracular
privacy-friendly helper to refresh a GnuPG keyring
parcimonie is a daemon that slowly refreshes a gpg public keyring
from a keyserver.
.
It 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.
.
XDG-compliant desktop environments automatically start parcimonie.
