Hi, I have added a feature to egpg to export the key and convert it to 3D barcode images, included in a PDF file: https://github.com/dashohoxha/egpg/blob/master/src/fn/qrencode.sh This PDF file can be printed and used as a paper backup. It can be restored with the help of a webcam and a barcode reader program (like zbar).
What do you think of paper backups, are they useful? I have seen some advice that recommend them, and even claim that they are safer and more durable/reliable than digital backups. I think that lots of people are still familiar and comfortable with storing and keeping hard-copy documents safe and secure (although we live in the digital age). It could also be nice to generate a PDF page that has the gpg key information in the format of a business card: name, email, fingerprint (maybe in barcode format as well). It can repeat several copies of the business card in the same page (for example in 5 rows and 2 columns). Any idea or advice on how to implement this? Maybe starting with a latex template and converting it to PDF? Or any simpler way? Thanks, Dashamir
