BTW, I just noticed that there was an on-list-only email which gave details on how to extract and replace-during-decryption these, so in case you are not subscribed and missed it, here it is: https://lists.archive.carbon60.com/gnupg/users/90299#90299 (first result on "gnupg-user archives", no idea about the quality of this archive domain in particular) Also, I had a completely different idea to how to maybe retrieve the file: as you decrypt it on-disk before use, maybe you can recover it by undeleting this file ? This is of course: - very dependent on the filesystem (I believe not all have tools for undeleting) - very dependent on the amount of writes which happened since the last deletion (compared to the amount of free space) - very dependent on whether this is on an ssd and whether you have "discard" enabled - possibly tedious, depending on the capabilities of the tool used to undelete but at least this is a way which puts crypto out of the equation. And on a related note: is there an RAM-only (ideally swap-disabled, no temporary file...) decipher-edit-encipher editor out there, to avoid having to write plain files to disk and leaving such traces ? I thought kleopatra did this, but I cannot find it now. > It is really encrypted with the PUBLIC key of pa...@pause.perl.org > <mailto:pa...@pause.perl.org> - probably a dead email address - nobody is > reading. Maybe you can try to reach out someone else on the perl.org domain, who may guide you to someone having access to that key ?
