gpg-agent is the utility used to collect the passphrase for a key operation in GnuPG on all platforms.

Because it is security risk to obtain GnuPG/PGP passphrases directly from within the browser, the gpg-agent is required for proper operation of the gpgAuth Chrome / Chromium client.

Please the sub pages to this article for specific instructions for a valid setup of gpg-agent for your operating system.
