Hi, I'm sorry for this beginner question but I could not find answers on the web nor the manpage nor the doc of gpg, even though it is a quite general question :
What are the files in gnupg homedir ? I could not find a complete listing so I'm writing what I know and do not know here. If you know more than me can you fill in th blank ? :) dirmngr.conf : configuration for dirmngr (keyserver access) gpg-agent.conf configuration for gpg-agent (key caching and key acces by other apps) gpg.conf conf for the gpg command line utility crls.d/DIR.txt ???? openpgp-revocs.d/ folder to store revocs certificates (for my own keys ?) (only for issued certificates or should I store certificates in this waiting for the moment my keys are compromised ?) private-keys-v1.d/ folder with private keys files, named afte key or subkey keygrip Is there only the private key part of my own keys in this ? or is there a way to obtain public+private key from one of those files ? pubring.kbx "database" of where the public keys are. (yours from your own keys, and other people public keys too. random_seed state of the random number generator sshcontrol list of keys with (A) capabilities (authentication) which will be used as ssh key by the gpg-agent. (by keygrip) tofu.db is an sqlite database and mean Trust On First Use. But what does it means and what does it contains ? trustdb.gpg the "trust database" which seem to be usefull for web of trust. The doc says to not backup this file. Why, and why did it contains, and what is it for ? any help is welcome, and if I miss this information in the docs feel free to point me to the right manual sections. Aeredren
