==== Description: ====
The Distributed Privacy Guard (dkgpg) implements distributed key generation
and threshold cryptography for ElGamal and DSA in a OpenPGP-compatible (RFC
4880) way, i.e., encryption and signature verification can be done with other
OpenPGP sofware. The secret keys are shared/distributed among different
devices resp. parties which improves e.g. side-channel attack resistance.

Currently the sources of the corresponding programs are included in LibTMCG
(https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/libtmcg), however, the main focus of
this library is on a different topic (secure distributed card games) and thus
I would like to create a distinct project.
