Keyringer currently has the following limitations:
1. Metadata is not encrypted, meaning that an attacker with access to a keyringer
- repository can discover all public key IDs used for encryption, and which secrets
- are encrypted to which keys. This can be improved in the future by encrypting
- the repository configuration with support for the *--hidden-recipient* GnuPG
