Description: Qt-based PIN or pass-phrase entry dialog for GnuPG
This package contains a program that allows for entry of PINs or pass
phrases. It is useful for entering pass phrases when using encryption
software such as GnuPG or e-mail clients using the same. It uses an open
protocol and is therefore not tied to particular software.
.
The program contained in this package implements a PIN entry dialog
using the Qt tool kit, so it is especially suitable for users of KDE.
If the X Window System is not active then an alternative text-mode
dialog will be used. There are sibling packages that implement PIN
entry dialogs using other tool kits.
