pinentry-curses: curses-based PIN or pass-phrase entry dialog for GnuPG

 This package contains a program that allows for secure entry of PINs or
 pass phrases. That means it tries to take care that the entered
 information is not swapped to disk or temporarily stored anywhere.
 This functionality is particularly useful for entering pass phrases
 when using encryption software such as GnuPG or e-mail clients using
 the same. It uses an open protocol and is therefore not tied to
 particular software.
 .
 The program contained in this package implements a PIN entry dialog
 using the curses tool kit, meaning that it is useful for users
 working in text mode without the X Window System. There are sibling
 packages that implement PIN entry dialogs that use an X tool kit. If
 you install any of the graphical packages then this package is not
 necessary because the sibling packages automatically fall back to
 text mode if X is not active.

pinentry-doc: documentation for pinentry packages

 This package contains the documentation for the pinentry packages,
 a suite of programs that allow secure entry of PINs or pass phrases.
 If you have one of the pinentry packages installed then you may want
 to install this package as well, but the documentation mostly concerns
 the internal protocol and is therefore not necessary for the casual
 user.

pinentry-gnome3: GNOME 3 PIN or pass-phrase entry dialog for GnuPG

 This package contains a program that allows for secure entry of PINs or
 pass phrases. That means it tries to take care that the entered
 information is not swapped to disk or temporarily stored anywhere.

 when using encryption software such as GnuPG or e-mail clients using
 the same. It uses an open protocol and is therefore not tied to
 particular software.
 .
 The program contained in this package implements a PIN entry dialog
 designed for use with GNOME 3. It tries to follow the Gnome Human
 Interface Guidelines as much as possible. If the X Window System is
 not active then an alternative text-mode dialog will be used. There
 are sibling packages that implement PIN entry dialogs using other
 tool kits.

 pass phrases. That means it tries to take care that the entered
 information is not swapped to disk or temporarily stored anywhere.
 This functionality is particularly useful for entering pass phrases
 when using encryption software such as GnuPG or e-mail clients using

 .
 The program contained in this package implements a PIN entry dialog
 using the GTK+ tool kit version 2. If the X Window System is not
 active then an alternative text-mode dialog will be used. There are
 sibling packages that implement PIN entry dialogs using other tool
 kits.

 phrases. It is useful for entering pass phrases when using encryption
 software such as GnuPG or e-mail clients using the same. It uses an open
 protocol and is therefore not tied to particular software.
 .
 The program contained in this package implements a PIN entry dialog
 using the Qt tool kit, so it is especially suitable for users of KDE.
 If the X Window System is not active then an alternative text-mode
 dialog will be used. There are sibling packages that implement PIN
 entry dialogs using other tool kits.

pinentry-qt4: Qt-based PIN or pass-phrase entry dialog for GnuPG (transitional dummy package)

 Pinentry is a program for secure entry of PINs and passphrases, from
 the GnuPG project.
 .
 This package installs a symbolic link from pinentry-qt4 to
 pinentry-qt. You should switch to using pinentry-qt instead.

pinentry-tty: minimal dumb-terminal PIN or pass-phrase entry for GnuPG

 This package contains a program that allows for secure entry of PINs or
 pass phrases. That means it tries to take care that the entered
 information is not swapped to disk or temporarily stored anywhere.
 This functionality is particularly useful for entering pass phrases
 when using encryption software such as GnuPG or e-mail clients using
 the same. It uses an open protocol and is therefore not tied to
 particular software.
 .
 The program contained in this package implements a PIN entry prompt
 that interacts directly with the controlling terminal. It has
 minimal dependencies, meaning that it is useful for users working
 with dumb terminals or similarly constrained environments. There are
 sibling packages that implement PIN entry dialogs that use curses for
 friendlier text-mode inputs on non-dumb terminals, and other sibling
 packages that provide PIN entry dialogs using an X tool kit.
