    <title>Introduction to PIN-Entry</title>

    <para>The <application>PIN-Entry</application> package contains a
    collection of simple PIN or pass-phrase entry dialogs which utilize the
    Assuan protocol as described by the
    <ulink url="http://www.gnupg.org/aegypten/">&#xC4;egypten project</ulink>.
    <application>PIN-Entry</application> programs are usually invoked by
    the <command>gpg-agent</command> daemon, but can be run from the command
    line as well. There are programs for various text-based and GUI
    environments, including interfaces designed for
    <application>Ncurses</application> (text-based),
    <application>Gtk+</application>, <application>Gtk+-2</application>,
    and <application>Qt-3</application>.</para>
