NAME

Template::Plugin::GnuPG -- A simple encryption plugin

SYNOPSIS

[% USE GnuPG %]
[% FILTER $GnuPG recipient = '0xb56165aa' armor = 1 %]
Your new password is 'password'.
[% END %]

DESCRIPTION

Template::Plugin::GnuPG provides a simple way to encrypt text through gnupg, using Francis J. Lacoste's GnuPG module. The resulting text is encrypted to the key specified by the recipient parameter to the FILTER.

Template::Plugin::GnuPG takes all of the configuration parameters that GnuPG takes; pass constructor parameters as name = value pairs to the USE line, and all other parameters as name = value pairs to the FILTER call:

[% USE GnuPG gnupg_path = '/opt/bin/gpg' trace = 1 %]

[% FILTER $GnuPG recipient = "mom@example.com" armor = 1 %]
The recipe for Neiman-Marcus cookies is:
[% recipe %]
[% END %]

The recipient parameter can be a keyid (like 0xB56165AA) or an email address. You can also specify symmetric encryption by passing the symmetric key with a true value (in this case, GnuPG makes you specify a passphrase with the passphrase option).

Output is ASCII armored by default, unless you pass an explicit armor = 0 to the FILTER call:

[% text | $GnuPG symmetric = 1 passphrase = pw armor = 0 %]

TODO

• Add a reasonable way to sign as well. You can currently sign like so:

  [% FILTER $GnuPG recipient = 'foo@example.com' sign = 1 passphrase = pw %]

  where pw is the passphrase for your key (the signing key). That's pretty ugly, though; who wants their passphrase in the source templates?

• Better documentation

• More tests.
