Binary package “parcimonie” in ubuntu precise
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.
