Suppress the passphrase prompt in GPG command

问题

Edited Version

I have a question about GPG, but I write all of the process, maybe it will help someone.

I want to: Suppress the passphrase prompt in GPG command. I don't want to: use -c option (--symmetric).

I have 2 systems Linux and Windows. I want to send the data from Linux to Windows. I want to encrypt the data in Linux and decrypt in Windows.

• myFileOnLinux.txt is a file on Linux that I want to encrypt.
• my@Email.com the UID of pair key.
• myPasswordPhrase is the password phrase.

I installed GPG on both and did the steps:

1. Generate a pair key in Windows:

   gpg --gen-key
   

2. Change the key parameter in Windows:

   gpg --edit-key my@Email.com
   

   trust
   5
   expire
   0
   

3. Export the public keys:

   gpg -a --export my@Email.com > public.key
   

4. Send the public key to the Linux machine.

5. Import the public key in Linux.

   gpg --import public.key
   

6. Change the trust parameter in Linux

   gpg --edit-key my@Email.com
   

   trust
   5
   

7. Encrypt a file in Linux

   gpg --output output.enc --encrypt --recipient my@Email.com myFileOnLinux.txt
   

8. Send the encrypted file to Windows.

9. Decrypt the file.

   gpg --batch --passphrase "myPasswordPhrase" -d -o test.dec output.enc
   

In Windows with a popup window it asked me the Passphrase again. How can I avoid it?

回答1:

After a lot of digging I found this command which disables the entry prompt on windows(works also for *nix systems):

--pinentry-mode=loopback

The full command would be:

gpg --pinentry-mode=loopback --passphrase  "PASSWORD" -d -o "PATH\TO\OUTPUT" "PATH\TO\FILE.gpg"
