PGPainless - Painless OpenPGP
=============================
**OpenPGP** (`RFC 4480 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc4880/>`_) is an Internet Standard mostly used for email encryption.
It provides mechanisms to ensure *confidentiality*, *integrity* and *authenticity* of messages.
However, OpenPGP can also be used for other purposes, such as secure messaging or as a signature mechanism for software distribution.
**PGPainless** strives to improve the (currently pretty dire) state of the ecosystem of Java libraries and tooling for OpenPGP.
The library focuses on being easy and intuitive to use without getting into your way.
Common functions such as creating keys, encrypting data, and so on are implemented using a builder structure that guides you through the necessary steps.
Internally, it is based on `Bouncy Castles <https://www.bouncycastle.org/java.html>`_ mighty, but low-level OpenPGP API.
PGPainless' goal is to empower you to use OpenPGP without needing to write all the boilerplate code required by Bouncy Castle.
It aims to be secure by default while allowing customization if required.

## SOP API with pgpainless-sop
The Stateless OpenPGP Protocol (SOP) defines a simplistic interface for the most important OpenPGP operations.
It allows you to encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify messages, generate keys and add/remove ASCII armor from data.
However, it does not yet provide tools for key management.
Furthermore, the implementation is deciding for you, which (secure) algorithms to use, and it doesn't let you
change those.
If you want to read more about the background of the SOP protocol, there is a [whole chapter](../sop) dedicated to it.
### Setup
PGPainless' releases are published to and can be fetched from Maven Central.
To get started, you first need to include `pgpainless-sop` in your projects build script.
```
// If you use Gradle
...
dependencies {
...
implementation "org.pgpainless:pgpainless-sop:XYZ"
...
}
// If you use Maven
...
<dependencies>
...
<dependency>
<groupId>org.pgpainless</groupId>
<artifactId>pgpainless-sop</artifactId>
<version>XYZ</version>
</dependency>
...
</dependencies>
```
:::{important}
Replace `XYZ` with the current version, e.g. {{ env.config.version }}!
:::
The entry point to the API is the `SOP` interface, for which `pgpainless-sop` provides a concrete implementation
`SOPImpl`.
```java
// Instantiate the API
SOP sop = new SOPImpl();
```
Now you are ready to go!
### Generate a Key
To generate a new OpenPGP key, the method `SOP.generateKey()` is your friend:
```java
// generate key
byte[] keyBytes = sop.generateKey()
.userId("John Doe <john.doe@pgpainless.org>")
.withKeyPassword("f00b4r")
.generate()
.getBytes();
```
The call `userId(String userId)` can be called multiple times to add multiple user-ids to the key, but it MUST
be called at least once.
The argument given in the first invocation will become the keys primary user-id.
Optionally, the key can be protected with a password by calling `withKeyPassword(String password)`.
If this method is not called, the key will be unprotected.
The `generate()` method call generates the key and returns a `Ready` object.
This in turn can be used to write the result to a stream via `writeTo(OutputStream out)`, or to get the result
as bytes via `getBytes()`.
In both cases, the resulting output will be the UTF8 encoded, ASCII armored OpenPGP secret key.
To disable ASCII armoring, call `noArmor()` before calling `generate()`.
At the time of writing, the resulting OpenPGP secret key will consist of a certification-capable 256-bits
ed25519 EdDSA primary key, a 256-bits ed25519 EdDSA subkey used for signing, as well as a 256-bits X25519
ECDH subkey for encryption.
The whole key does not have an expiration date set.
### Extract a Certificate
Now that you generated your secret key, you probably want to share the public key with your contacts.
To extract the OpenPGP public key (which we will call *certificate* from now on) from the secret key,
use the `SOP.extractCert()` method call:
```java
// extract certificate
byte[] certificateBytes = sop.extractCert()
.key(keyBytes)
.getBytes();
```
The `key(_)` method either takes a byte array (like in the example), or an `InputStream`.
In both cases it returns another `Ready` object from which the certificate can be accessed, either via
`writeTo(OutputStream out)` or `getBytes()`.
By default, the resulting certificate will be ASCII armored, regardless of whether the input key was armored or not.
To disable ASCII armoring, call `noArmor()` before calling `key(_)`.
In our example, `certificateBytes` can now safely be shared with anyone.
### Apply / Remove ASCII Armor
Perhaps you want to print your secret key onto a piece of paper for backup purposes,
but you accidentally called `noArmor()` when generating the key.
To add ASCII armor to some binary OpenPGP data, the `armor()` API can be used:
```java
// wrap data in ASCII armor
byte[] armoredData = sop.armor()
.data(binaryData)
.getBytes();
```
The `data(_)` method can either be called by providing a byte array, or an `InputStream`.
:::{note}
There is a `label(ArmorLabel label)` method, which could theoretically be used to define the label used in the
ASCII armor header.
However, this method is not (yet?) supported by `pgpainless-sop` and will currently throw an `UnsupportedOption`
exception.
Instead, the implementation will figure out the data type and set the respective label on its own.
:::
To remove ASCII armor from armored data, simply use the `dearmor()` API:
```java
// remove ASCII armor
byte[] binaryData = sop.unarmor()
.data(armoredData)
.getBytes();
```
Once again, the `data(_)` method can be called either with a byte array or an `InputStream` as argument.
If the input data is not validly armored OpenPGP data, the `data(_)` method call will throw a `BadData` exception.
### Encrypt a Message
Now lets get to the juicy part and finally encrypt a message!
In this example, we will assume that Alice is the sender that wants to send a message to Bob.
Beforehand, Alice acquired Bobs certificate, e.g. by fetching it from a key server.
To encrypt a message, you can make use of the `encrypt()` API:
```java
// encrypt and sign a message
byte[] aliceKey = ...; // Alice' secret key
byte[] aliceCert = ...; // Alice' certificate (e.g. via extractCert())
byte[] bobCert = ...; // Bobs certificate
byte[] plaintext = "Hello, World!\n".getBytes(); // plaintext
byte[] ciphertext = sop.encrypt()
// encrypt for each recipient
.withCert(bobCert)
.withCert(aliceCert)
// Optionally: Sign the message
.signWith(aliceKey)
.withKeyPassword("sw0rdf1sh") // if signing key is protected
// provide the plaintext
.plaintext(plaintext)
.getBytes();
```
Here you encrypt the message for each recipient (Alice probably wants to be able to decrypt the message too!)
by calling `withCert(_)` with the recipients certificate as argument. It does not matter, if the certificate
is ASCII armored or not, and the method can either be called with a byte array or an `InputStream` as argument.
The API not only supports asymmetric encryption via OpenPGP certificates, but it can also encrypt messages
symmetrically using one or more passwords. Both mechanisms can even be used together in the same message!
To (additionally or exclusively) encrypt the message for a password, simply call `withPassword(String password)`
before the `plaintext(_)` method call.
It is recommended (but not required) to sign encrypted messages.
In order to sign the message before encryption is applied, call `signWith(_)` with the signing key as argument.
This method call can be repeated multiple times to sign the message with multiple signing keys.
If any keys used for signing are password protected, you need to provide the signing key password via
`withKeyPassword(_)`.
It does not matter in which order signing keys and key passwords are provided, the implementation will figure out
matches on its own. If different key passwords are used, the `withKeyPassword(_)` method can be called multiple times.
By default, the encrypted message will be ASCII armored. To disable ASCII armor, call `noArmor()` before the
`plaintext(_)` method call.
Lastly, you need to provide the plaintext by calling `plaintext(_)` with either a byte array or an `InputStream`
as argument.
The ciphertext can then be accessed from the resulting `Ready` object as usual.
### Decrypt a Message
Now let's switch perspective and help Bob decrypt the message from Alice.
Decrypting encrypted messages is done in a similar fashion using the `decrypt()` API:
```java
// decrypt a message and verify its signature(s)
byte[] aliceCert = ...; // Alice' certificate
byte[] bobKey = ...; // Bobs secret key
byte[] bobCert = ...; // Bobs certificate
byte[] ciphertext = ...; // the encrypted message
ReadyWithResult<DecryptionResult> readyWithResult = sop.decrypt()
.withKey(bobKey)
.verifyWith(aliceCert)
.withKeyPassword("password123") // if decryption key is protected
.ciphertext(ciphertext);
```
The `ReadyWithResult<DecryptionResult>` can now be processed in two different ways, depending on whether you want the
plaintext as bytes or simply write it out to an `OutputStream`.
To get the plaintext bytes directly, you shall proceed as follows:
```java
ByteArrayAndResult<DecryptionResult> bytesAndResult = readyWithResult.toByteArrayAndResult();
DecryptionResult result = bytesAndResult.getResult();
byte[] plaintext = bytesAndResult.getBytes();
```
If you instead want to write the plaintext out to an `OutputStream`, the following code can be used:
```java
OutputStream out = ...;
DecryptionResult result = readyWithResult.writeTo(out);
```
Note, that in both cases you acquire a `DecryptionResult` object. This contains information about the message,
such as which signatures could successfully be verified.
If you provided the senders certificate for the purpose of signature verification via `verifyWith(_)`, you now
probably want to check, if the message was actually signed by the sender by checking `result.getVerifications()`.
:::{note}
Signature verification will be discussed in more detail in section [](#verify-a-signature)
:::
If the message was encrypted symmetrically using a password, you can also decrypt is symmetrically by calling
`withPassword(String password)` before the `ciphertext(_)` method call. This method call can be repeated multiple
times. The implementation will try different passwords until it finds a matching one.
### Sign a Message
There are three different main ways of signing a message:
* Inline Signatures
* Cleartext Signatures
* Detached Signatures
An inline-signature will be part of the message itself (e.g. like with messages that are encrypted *and* signed).
Inline-signed messages are not human-readable without prior processing.
A cleartext signature makes use of the [cleartext signature framework](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4880#section-7).
Messages signed in this way do have an ASCII armor header and footer, yet the content of the message is still
human-readable without special software.
Lastly, a detached signature can be distributed as an extra file alongside the message without altering it.
This is useful if the plaintext itself cannot be modified (e.g. if a binary file is signed).
The SOP API can generate all of those signature types.
#### Inline-Signatures
Let's start with an inline signature:
```java
byte[] signingKey = ...;
byte[] message = ...;
byte[] inlineSignedMessage = sop.inlineSign()
.mode(InlineSignAs.Text) // or 'Binary'
.key(signingKey)
.withKeyPassword("fnord")
.data(message)
.getBytes();
```
You can choose between two different signature formats which can be set using `mode(InlineSignAs mode)`.
The default value is `Binary`. You can also set it to `Text` which signals to the receiver that the data is
UTF8 text.
:::{note}
For inline signatures, do NOT set the `mode()` to `CleartextSigned`, as that will create message which uses the
cleartext signature framework (see further below).
:::
You must provide at least one signing key using `key(_)` in order to be able to sign the message.
If any key is password protected, you need to provide its password using `withKeyPassword(_)` which
can be called multiple times to provide multiple passwords.
Once you provide the plaintext using `data(_)` with either a byte array or an `InputStream` as argument,
you will get a `Ready` object back, from which the signed message can be retrieved as usual.
By default, the signed message will be ASCII armored. This can be disabled by calling `noArmor()`
before the `data(_)` method call.
#### Cleartext Signatures
A cleartext-signed message can be generated in a similar way to an inline-signed message, however,
there are is one subtle difference:
```java
byte[] signingKey = ...;
byte[] message = ...;
byte[] cleartextSignedMessage = sop.inlineSign()
.mode(InlineSignAs.CleartextSigned) // This MUST be set
.key(signingKey)
.withKeyPassword("fnord")
.data(message)
.getBytes();
```
:::{important}
In order to produce a cleartext-signed message, the signature mode MUST be set to `CleartextSigned`
by calling `mode(InlineSignAs.CleartextSigned)`.
:::
:::{note}
Calling `noArmor()` will have no effect for cleartext-signed messages, so such method call will be ignored.
:::
#### Detached Signatures
As the name suggests, detached signatures are detached from the message itself and can be distributed separately.
To produce a detached signature, the `detachedSign()` API is used:
```java
byte[] signingKey = ...;
byte[] message = ...;
ReadyWithResult<SigningResult> readyWithResult = sop.detachedSign()
.key(signingKey)
.withKeyPassword("fnord")
.data(message);
```
Here you have the choice, how you want to write out the signature.
If you want to write the signature to an `OutputStream`, you can do the following:
```java
OutputStream out = ...;
SigningResult result = readyWithResult.writeTo(out);
```
If instead you want to get the signature as a byte array, do this instead:
```java
ByteArrayAndResult<SigningResult> bytesAndResult = readyWithResult.toByteArrayAndResult();
SigningResult result = bytesAndResult.getResult();
byte[] detachedSignature = bytesAndResult.getBytes();
```
In any case, the detached signature can now be distributed alongside the original message.
By default, the resulting detached signature will be ASCII armored. This can be disabled by calling `noArmor()`
prior to calling `data(_)`.
The `SigningResult` object you got back in both cases contains information about the signature.

# Quickstart Guide
In this guide, we will get you started with OpenPGP using PGPainless as quickly as possible.
At first though, you need to decide which API you want to use;
* PGPainless' core API is powerful and heavily customizable
* The SOP API is a bit less powerful, but *dead* simple to use
The SOP API is the recommended way to go if you just want to get started already.
In case you need more technical documentation, Javadoc can be found in the following places:
* For the core API: {{ '[pgpainless-core](https://javadoc.io/doc/org.pgpainless/pgpainless-core/{}/index.html)'.format(env.config.version) }}
* For the SOP API: {{ '[pgpainless-sop](https://javadoc.io/doc/org.pgpainless/pgpainless-sop/{}/index.html)'.format(env.config.version) }}
