It appears paperkey creates the output file with permissions only
constrained by the user's umask.
I agree with Ian here that it might be prudent to create the file with
go-rwx. (I think that's preferable to just documenting the fact that
files are world readable.)
If you concur and want a patch I can probably supply one.
Cheers,
Peter
