# Simple command line script to backup ascii armor gpg keys to paper. You can
# use the following commands to export your keys in ascii armor format:
#
#   gpg --armor --export > pgp-public-keys.asc
#   gpg --armor --export-secret-keys > pgp-private-keys.asc
#   gpg --armor --gen-revoke [your key ID] > pgp-revocation.asc
#
# These can then be used to restore your keys if necessary.
#
# This script will allow you to convert the above ascii armor keys into a
# printable QR code for long-term archival.
#
# This script depends on the following libraries/applications:
#
#   libqrencode (http://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/)
#
# If you need to backup or restore binary keys, see this link to get started:
