> Java file path handling does not support user home directory shortcut expansion ("~" -> "/Users/alopresto" for example). This is well-documented and there are simple fixes [1] for this issue. 
> Recently this was discovered in the {{EncryptContent}} processors when attempting to use a path to the public or secret keyring files that started with the "~" character: i.e. {{~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg}}. 
> This should ideally be offered as a utility method (effectively a "filter" that can be applied to all user-provided paths throughout the application for consistent handling).
