Hell everyone,
On this link
<https://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual/c481.html#:~:text=To%20help%20safeguard%20your%20key,passphrase%20to%20access%20the%20key.>
is the following statement:
> To help safeguard your key, GnuPG does not store your raw private key
> on disk. Instead it encrypts it using a symmetric encryption algorithm.
However, I'm not entirely clear on what happens when I do:
> gpg --export-secret-keys --armor <key_id>
Is the secret key block that appears on STDOUT my plain secret key or is
it its encrypted version?
Best regards,
Novak
