* Change git annex info remote encryption description to use wording closer to ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2016-05-11
| | | | what's used in initremote.
* clarify some thingsGravatar Joey Hess2016-05-11
| | | | | | | In particular, specifying multiple keyid= in enableremote/initremote doesn't work, and never has AFAICS, so don't suggest using it. Also, there was some public/private key wording confusion.

* Added new encryption=sharedpubkey mode for special remotes.Gravatar Joey Hess2016-05-10
| | | | | | This is useful for makking a special remote that anyone with a clone of the repo and your public keys can upload files to, but only you can decrypt the files stored in it.

* Allow public-key encryption of file content.Gravatar guilhem2013-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | With the initremote parameters "encryption=pubkey keyid=788A3F4C". /!\ Adding or removing a key has NO effect on files that have already been copied to the remote. Hence using keyid+= and keyid-= with such remotes should be used with care, and make little sense unless the point is to replace a (sub-)key by another. /!\ Also, a test case has been added to ensure that the cipher and file contents are encrypted as specified by the chosen encryption scheme.
* Allow revocation of OpenPGP keys.Gravatar guilhem2013-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | /!\ It is to be noted that revoking a key does NOT necessarily prevent the owner of its private part from accessing data on the remote /!\ The only sound use of `keyid-=` is probably to replace a (sub-)key by another, where the private part of both is owned by the same person/entity: git annex enableremote myremote keyid-=2512E3C7 keyid+=788A3F4C Reference: http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/Using_a_revoked_GPG_key/ * Other change introduced by this patch: New keys now need to be added with option `keyid+=`, and the scheme specified (upon initremote only) with `encryption=`. The motivation for this change is to open for new schemes, e.g., strict asymmetric encryption. git annex initremote myremote encryption=hybrid keyid=2512E3C7 git annex enableremote myremote keyid+=788A3F4C

* Allow other MAC algorithms in the Remote Config.Gravatar guilhem2013-03-29

* Added shared cipher mode to encryptable special remotes.Gravatar Joey Hess2012-04-29
| | | | | | This option avoids gpg key distribution, at the expense of flexability, and with the requirement that all clones of the git repository be equally trusted.
