Package sop.external

Interface ExternalSOP.TempDirProvider

Enclosing class:

ExternalSOP

public static interface ExternalSOP.TempDirProvider

This interface can be used to provide a directory in which external SOP binaries can temporarily store additional results of OpenPGP operations such that the binding classes can parse them out from there. Unfortunately, on Java you cannot open FileDescriptors arbitrarily, so we have to rely on temporary files to pass results. An example:

sop decrypt

can emit signature verifications via

--verify-out=/path/to/tempfile

. DecryptExternal will then parse the temp file to make the result available to consumers. Temporary files are deleted after being read, yet creating temp files for sensitive information on disk might pose a security risk. Use with care!
