pinentry-gnome3 binary package in openKylin Nile V2.0 i386
This package contains a program that allows for secure entry of PINs or
pass phrases. That means it tries to take care that the entered
information is not swapped to disk or temporarily stored anywhere.
This functionality is particularly useful for entering pass phrases
when using encryption software such as GnuPG or e-mail clients using
the same. It uses an open protocol and is therefore not tied to
particular software.
.
The program contained in this package implements a PIN entry dialog
designed for use with GNOME 3. It tries to follow the GNOME Human
Interface Guidelines as much as possible. If the X Window System is
not active then an alternative text-mode dialog will be used. There
are sibling packages that implement PIN entry dialogs using other
tool kits.
