Bug Description

Being able to perform an eCryptfs mount with GPG keys would be a very useful feature. We have some stub code in src/key_mod/ecryptfs_key_mod_gpg.c, but it isn't complete. This bug will be updated to track the GPG support.

So, has there been any progress on this?
I see there is a gpg key module in the code but it seems it has not been worked on for quite some time. Is that module in a usable state?

It has been a long time since Marcus asked about the status of the GPG key module, but I wanted to make it clear that no progress has been made and we're not aware of anyone interested in working on the key module.

If someone wants to take over the development of this feature, please leave a comment and assign this bug to yourself. We'd love to receive contributions to this area of the code base!
