gpgdiff

A simple command-line utility for comparing two GPG keys.

Usage

gpgdiff key1 key2 [options]

Arguments:

• key1: The ID of the first GPG key.
• key2: The ID of the second GPG key.

Features

• Compares two GPG keys using a text-based diff, highlighting differences clearly.
• Supports comparison of both public and private keys (using the --secret flag).
• Provides a rich text-based user interface (TUI) using the rich library for enhanced readability.
• Offers a deep analysis option (--deep-analysis) for more detailed comparison, including:
  • Fingerprint verification to confirm cryptographic identity.
  • Packet structure analysis to compare the components of the keys.
• Handles errors gracefully, providing informative messages to the user.
• Uses temporary files to store exported keys, ensuring data security and preventing accidental modification of original keys.
