pinentry-1.2.1
Introduction to PIN-Entry
The PIN-Entry package contains a
collection of simple PIN or pass-phrase entry dialogs which utilize the
Assuan protocol as described by the
Ägypten project.
PIN-Entry programs are usually invoked by
the gpg-agent daemon, but can be run from the command
line as well. There are programs for various text-based and GUI
environments, including interfaces designed for
Ncurses (text-based), and for the common
GTK and Qt
toolkits.
