* This service runs in its own process, but is available to all other processes as the main
* passphrase cache. Use the static methods addCachedPassphrase and getCachedPassphrase for
* convenience.
*
* Design decisions:
* - Cache passphrases based on master key ids, but try to unlock before using the subkey id
* (to be compatible with stripped keys)
* - Cache based on master key id so that there is not need to enter a passphrase twice for sign and
* decrypt (if these are two different subkeys)
* - Assume that all passphrases cached here are valid passphrases
* - Do not handle if a keyring contains subkeys with different passphrases. This is not considered
* supported and has not been seen in other OpenPGP implementations
