@chapter Caching Passphrases
Typing passphrases is an irritating task if you frequently open and
close the same file. GnuPG and EasyPG Assistant provide mechanisms to
remember your passphrases. However, the configuration is a bit
confusing since it depends on your GnuPG installation (GnuPG version 1 or
GnuPG version 2), encryption method (symmetric or public key), and whether or
not you want to use gpg-agent. Here are some questions:
@enumerate
@item Do you use GnuPG version 2 instead of GnuPG version 1?
@item Do you use symmetric encryption rather than public key encryption?
@item Do you want to use gpg-agent?
@end enumerate
Here are configurations depending on your answers:
