Well, I didn't know about that tool. I was thinking about backing up
the secret keys in a printed paper, but I discarded the idea because I
thought it was infeasible (I mean, I thought my chance of a human
typing
it without mistakes was really low). But then I saw the quotations of
Kara's message, and I thought it was not so unfeasible... and now I
know
there is a tool that reduces a lot the length of the text to type, I
have changed my opinion.
But I have some questions:
1.- If I use the tool in ubuntu, and then I open the output text
file in
windows (to print it), will I have problems with charsets? Maybe the
solution would be to convert the txt to a pdf file, before moving it
to
windows...
No charset problems. Paperkey uses only straight 7-bit ASCII
everywhere, to eliminate charset problems in re-entering the key data.
