It takes a list of -keyids on the command line, fetches them from a keyserver and calls -GnuPG so that you can sign it. It then mails each key to all its -email addresses - only including the one UID that we send to in each -mail. - -Features: - * Easy to setup. - * Attaches only the very UID that we send to in the mail. - * Prunes the key from all signatures that are not self sigs and - not done by you, thereby greatly reducing the size of mails. - * Sends the mail encrypted if possible, will warn before sending - unencrypted mail (sign only keys) - * Creates proper PGP MIME messages. - * Uses separate GNUPGHOME for all its operations. - -Special Requirements: - * GnuPG 1.3.92 or later. - -Discussion: - -Since we do not upload the new signatures, or import them into our -main keyring, the signature only gets public if: - - the email address is valid - - the person reading the email can decrypt the mail (if it was sent - encrypted). - -Therefore we achieve the same level of security as common Challenge -Repsonse systems like CABot, without all the extra hassle of those -systems. - - - -Dependencies: gnupg (>= 1.3.92), perl, libgnupg-interface-perl, libtext-template-perl, libmime-perl, libmailtools-perl (>= 1.62), mailx - - -INSTALLATION NOTES - -After creating a ~/.caffrc from the template, caff almost works out of the box. - --- -Peter -$Id$
