The design goal of pinnetry is to keep it small and thus more secure
than a huge application. The GUI versions take additional care to
assemble the passphrase only in locked-from-swapping memory. With all
that code running in emacs, I doubt that it makes sense at all to use
the curses versions of Pinentry. Here is another idea:
Is it possible to enhance server-start/emacsclient so that it does not
edit a file but asks for string and returns that one? Pinentry could
then use this feature for user interaction.
Salam-Shalom,
Werner
