gpgdir project is a perl script that uses the CPAN GnuPG perl module to encrypt and decrypt directories using a gpg key specified in /.gpgdirrc.
gpgdir recursively descends through a directory in order to make sure it encrypts or decrypts every file in a directory and all of its subdirectories.
By default the mtime and atime values of all files will be preserved upon encryption and decryption (this can be disabled with the --no-preserve-times option).
Note that in encrypt mode, gpgdir will delete the original files that it successfully encrypts (unless the --no-delete option is given).
However, upon startup gpgdir first asks for a the decryption password to be sure that a dummy file can successfully be encrypted and decrypted.
The initial test can be disabled with the skip-test option so that a directory can easily be
encrypted without having to also specify a password (this is consistent with gpg behavior). Also, note that gpgdir is careful not encrypt hidden files and directories.
After all, you probably don't want your /.gnupg directory or /.bashrc file to be encrypted.
Installation:
Just run the install.pl script (as root) that comes with the gpgdir sources.
What's New in This Release:
· The --Obfuscate-filenames format was changed to not include the gpgdir PID.
· This allows directories to be encrypted and decrypted under -O multiple times without creating new filenames (which would pollute encrypted directories under rsync to other systems).
· The new -O encrypted filename format is just "gpgdir_< num >.gpg".
· PID locking against directories was added so that multiple gpgdir processes cannot operate against the same top-level directory simultaneously.
· This is useful for users that typically operate with multiple shells and might launch gpgdir from any of them.
