Hi, There's a mention about this in README. But I'm not a security expert and not sure how much dangerous it is to share plain recipients(public key).
Sorry for stupid question. |

There are no stupid questions, only incomplete docs :) There is no risk in storing public keys with encrypted files, except the obvious ones: it will be possible to know what files were encrypted to what keys, and it will be possible to re-encrypt different files to those keys. |
