I doubt that in this case since it works as a shell for GnuPG. One can always analyse the resulting message, and if some additional encryption key turns up or extra message data is added after the message that would be easily detectable. And more subtle backdoors, like tampering with the RNG are nu issue since GnuPG itself deals with that. -- Met vriendelijke groet / With kind regards, Johan Wevers PGP/GPG public keys at http://www.xs4all.nl/~johanw/pgpkeys.html _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
