Installation

First, verify that you have GPG 2.1+ installed:

$ gpg2 --version | head -n1
gpg (GnuPG) 2.1.11

Update you TREZOR firmware to the latest version (at least c720614).

Install latest trezor-agent package from gpg-agent branch:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/romanz/trezor-agent.git@gpg-agent

Define your GPG user ID as an environment variable:

$ export TREZOR_GPG_USER_ID="John Doe <john@doe.bit>"

There are two ways to generate TREZOR-based GPG public keys, as described below.

1. generate a new GPG identity:

$ trezor-gpg create | gpg2 --import              # use the TREZOR to confirm signing the primary key
gpg: key 5E4D684D: public key "John Doe <john@doe.bit>" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1

$ gpg2 --edit "${TREZOR_GPG_USER_ID}" trust      # set this key to ultimate trust (option #5)

$ gpg2 -k
/home/roman/.gnupg/pubring.kbx
------------------------------
pub   nistp256/5E4D684D 2016-06-17 [SC]
uid         [ultimate] John Doe <john@doe.bit>
sub   nistp256/A31D9E25 2016-06-17 [E]

2. generate a new subkey for an existing GPG identity:

$ gpg2 -k                                        # suppose there is already a GPG primary key
/home/roman/.gnupg/pubring.kbx
------------------------------
pub   rsa2048/87BB07B4 2016-06-17 [SC]
uid         [ultimate] John Doe <john@doe.bit>
sub   rsa2048/7176D31F 2016-06-17 [E]

$ trezor-gpg create --subkey | gpg2 --import     # use the TREZOR to confirm signing the subkey
gpg: key 87BB07B4: "John Doe <john@doe.bit>" 2 new signatures
gpg: key 87BB07B4: "John Doe <john@doe.bit>" 2 new subkeys
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:            new subkeys: 2
gpg:         new signatures: 2

$ gpg2 -k
/home/roman/.gnupg/pubring.kbx
------------------------------
pub   rsa2048/87BB07B4 2016-06-17 [SC]
uid         [ultimate] John Doe <john@doe.bit>
sub   rsa2048/7176D31F 2016-06-17 [E]
sub   nistp256/DDE80B36 2016-06-17 [S]
sub   nistp256/E3D0BA19 2016-06-17 [E]

Usage examples:

Start the TREZOR-based gpg-agent:

$ trezor-gpg agent &

Note: this agent intercepts all GPG requests, so make sure to close it (e.g. by using killall trezor-gpg), when you are done with the TREZOR-based GPG operations.

Sign and verify GPG messages:

$ echo "Hello World!" | gpg2 --sign | gpg2 --verify
gpg: Signature made Fri 17 Jun 2016 08:55:13 PM IDT using ECDSA key ID 5E4D684D
gpg: Good signature from "Roman Zeyde <roman.zeyde@gmail.com>" [ultimate]

Encrypt and decrypt GPG messages:

$ date | gpg2 --encrypt -r "${TREZOR_GPG_USER_ID}" | gpg2 --decrypt
gpg: encrypted with 256-bit ECDH key, ID A31D9E25, created 2016-06-17
      "Roman Zeyde <roman.zeyde@gmail.com>"
Fri Jun 17 20:55:31 IDT 2016

Git commit & tag signatures:

Git can use GPG to sign and verify commits and tags (see here):

$ git config --local gpg.program gpg2
$ git commit --gpg-sign                      # create GPG-signed commit
$ git log --show-signature -1                # verify commit signature
$ git tag --sign "TAG"                       # create GPG-signed tag
$ git verify-tag "TAG"                       # verify tag signature
