I have been using GnuPG in the past, and have been using a binary key that is dynamically generated by an app I wrote. In essence, the key is generated by taking a 256-byte chunk of data, and condensing it down into 256-bits. It does use all 256-bits, however, since it doesn't assume ascii characters, etc. However, what this also means is that there's not a good way to feed this key into an input field. Is there a way to specify a keyfile or anything like that to resolve this issue, or should I give up and limit myself to printable characters in my key?

Not at present, but it is on the wish list for AES Crypt. That is something me and several others would like to have. Somebody actually did some work on that, but I need to follow-up to see where that stands. Until then, it remains a missing feature.

UPDATE: Support for this was added to Linux.
