Maybe I don't understand but the caching system must first read your
passphrase before it can be cached. And this only happens during
decryption or signing.

That's also my understanding. Let me be more precise :<br>
Open "file manager", drag and drop a file, right click and select sign
: I type my secret key passphrase.<br>
Do it once again, I have to type my secret key passphrase again !<br>
Now I decrypt some file previously encrypted with my public key : I
have to type my secret key passphrase (once again)<br>

<br>
In fact it seems the secret key passphrase is cached only when it is
used for decryption.<br>
