Information about the package, paperkey, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The paperkey package is designed for, An OpenPGP key archiver.
Package Name:
paperkey
Summary:
An OpenPGP key archiver
Description:
A reasonable way to achieve a long term backup of OpenPGP (PGP, GnuPG, etc) keys is to print them out on paper. Paper and ink have amazingly long retention qualities - far longer than the magnetic or optical means that are generally used to back up computer data. A paper backup isn't a replacement for the usual machine readable (tape, CD-R, DVD-R, etc) backups, but rather as an if-all-else-fails method of restoring a key.
