PGPainless is based around the Bouncycastle java library and can be used on Android down to API level 10.
|
||||||
|
It can be configured to either use the Java Cryptographic Engine (JCE), or Bouncycastles lightweight reimplementation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### NOTE: PGPainless is in an early state of development. There may be dragons!
|
While signature verification in Bouncycastle is limited to signature correctness, PGPainless goes much further.
|
||||||
|
It also checks if signing subkeys are properly bound to their primary key, if keys are expired or revoked, as well as
|
||||||
|
if keys are allowed to create signatures in the first place.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These rigorous checks make PGPainless stand out from other Java-based OpenPGP libraries and are the reason why
|
||||||
|
PGPainless currently [*scores second place* on Sequoia-PGPs Interoperability Test-Suite](tests.sequoia-pgp.org).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Features
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Most of PGPainless' features can be accessed directly from the `PGPainless` class.
|
||||||
|
If you want to get started, this class is your friend :)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For further details you should check out the [javadoc](https://pgpainless.org/releases/latest/javadoc/)!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Easily Generate Keys
|
||||||
|
PGPainless comes with a simple to use `KeyRingBuilder` class that helps you to quickly generate modern OpenPGP keys.
|
||||||
|
There are some predefined key archetypes, but it is possible to fully customize key generation to your needs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```java
|
||||||
|
// RSA key without additional subkeys
|
||||||
|
PGPSecretKeyRing secretKeys = PGPainless.generateKeyRing()
|
||||||
|
.simpleRsaKeyRing("Juliet <juliet@montague.lit>", RsaLength._4096);
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// EdDSA primary key with EdDSA signing- and XDH encryption subkeys
|
||||||
|
PGPSecretKeyRing secretKeys = PGPainless.generateKeyRing()
|
||||||
|
.modernKeyRing("Romeo <romeo@montague.lit>", "I defy you, stars!");
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// Customized key
|
||||||
|
PGPSecretKeyRing keyRing = PGPainless.generateKeyRing()
|
||||||
|
.withSubKey(
|
||||||
|
KeySpec.getBuilder(ECDSA.fromCurve(EllipticCurve._P256))
|
||||||
|
.withKeyFlags(KeyFlag.SIGN_DATA)
|
||||||
|
.withDetailedConfiguration()
|
||||||
|
.withDefaultSymmetricAlgorithms()
|
||||||
|
.withDefaultHashAlgorithms()
|
||||||
|
.withPreferredCompressionAlgorithms(CompressionAlgorithm.ZLIB)
|
||||||
|
.withFeature(Feature.MODIFICATION_DETECTION)
|
||||||
|
.done()
|
||||||
|
).withSubKey(
|
||||||
|
KeySpec.getBuilder(ECDH.fromCurve(EllipticCurve._P256))
|
||||||
|
.withKeyFlags(KeyFlag.ENCRYPT_COMMS, KeyFlag.ENCRYPT_STORAGE)
|
||||||
|
.withDefaultAlgorithms()
|
||||||
|
).withMasterKey(
|
||||||
|
KeySpec.getBuilder(RSA.withLength(RsaLength._8192))
|
||||||
|
.withKeyFlags(KeyFlag.SIGN_DATA, KeyFlag.CERTIFY_OTHER)
|
||||||
|
.withDefaultAlgorithms()
|
||||||
|
).withPrimaryUserId("Juliet <juliet@montague.lit>")
|
||||||
|
.withAdditionalUserId("xmpp:juliet@capulet.lit")
|
||||||
|
.withPassphrase("romeo_oh_Romeo<3")
|
||||||
|
.build();
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Encrypt and Sign Data
|
||||||
|
PGPainless makes it easy and painless to encrypt and/or sign data.
|
||||||
|
Passed in keys are automatically evaluated, so that you don't accidentally encrypt to revoked or expired keys.
|
||||||
|
PGPainless will furthermore detect which algorithms are supported by recipient keys and will negotiate
|
||||||
|
algorithms accordingly.
|
||||||
|
Still it allows you to manually specify which algorithms to use of course.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```java
|
||||||
|
EncryptionStream encryptionStream = PGPainless.encryptAndOrSign()
|
||||||
|
.onOutputStream(outputStream)
|
||||||
|
.withOptions(
|
||||||
|
ProducerOptions.signAndEncrypt(
|
||||||
|
new EncryptionOptions()
|
||||||
|
.addRecipient(aliceKey)
|
||||||
|
.addRecipient(bobsKey)
|
||||||
|
// optionally encrypt to a passphrase
|
||||||
|
.addPassphrase(Passphrase.fromPassword("password123"))
|
||||||
|
// optionally override symmetric encryption algorithm
|
||||||
|
.overrideEncryptionAlgorithm(SymmetricKeyAlgorithm.AES_192),
|
||||||
|
new SigningOptions()
|
||||||
|
// Sign in-line (using one-pass-signature packet)
|
||||||
|
.addInlineSignature(secretKeyDecryptor, aliceSecKey, signatureType)
|
||||||
|
// Sign using a detached signature
|
||||||
|
.addDetachedSignature(secretKeyDecryptor, aliceSecKey, signatureType)
|
||||||
|
// optionally override hash algorithm
|
||||||
|
.overrideHashAlgorithm(HashAlgorithm.SHA256)
|
||||||
|
).setAsciiArmor(true) // Ascii armor or not
|
||||||
|
);
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Streams.pipeAll(plaintextInputStream, encryptionStream);
|
||||||
|
encryptionStream.close();
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Decrypt and Verify Signatures
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Decrypting data and verifying signatures is being done in a similar fashion.
|
||||||
|
PGPainless will not only verify *correctness* of signatures, but also if the signing key was allowed to create the signature.
|
||||||
|
A key might not be allowed to create signatures if, for example, it expired or was revoked, or was not properly bound to the key ring.
|
||||||
|
Furthermore PGPainless will reject signatures made using weak algorithms like SHA-1.
|
||||||
|
This behaviour can be modified though using the `Policy` class.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```java
|
||||||
|
DecryptionStream decryptionStream = PGPainless.decryptAndOrVerify()
|
||||||
|
.onInputStream(encryptedInputStream)
|
||||||
|
.decryptWith(secretKeyProtector, bobSecKeys)
|
||||||
|
.verifyWith(alicePubKeys)
|
||||||
|
.ignoreMissingPublicKeys()
|
||||||
|
.build();
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Streams.pipeAll(decryptionStream, outputStream);
|
||||||
|
decryptionStream.close();
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// Result contains information like signature status etc.
|
||||||
|
OpenPgpMetadata metadata = decryptionStream.getResult();
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*After* the `DecryptionStream` was closed, you can get metadata about the processed data by retrieving the `OpenPgpMetadata`.
|
||||||
|
Again, this object will contain information about how the message was encrypted, who signed it and so on.

## How to use PGPainless
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The entry point to the API is the `PGPainless` class. Here you can find methods for a quick start :)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Generate Keys
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The first thing you probably want to do is generate you some nice tasty Key Pairs. The most straight forward way to do so is by calling
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```java
|
|
||||||
PGPKeyRing keyRing = PGPainless.generateKeyRing()
|
|
||||||
.simpleRsaKeyRing("Juliet <juliet@montague.lit>", RsaLength._4096);
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
but feel free to explore the API further. PGPainless allows you to create Key Pairs consisting of a master key plus several sub keys, even with different algorithms at the same time!
|
|
||||||
Take for example a look at this delicious key:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```java
|
|
||||||
PGPSecretKeyRing keyRing = PGPainless.generateKeyRing()
|
|
||||||
.withSubKey(
|
|
||||||
KeySpec.getBuilder(ECDSA.fromCurve(EllipticCurve._P256))
|
|
||||||
.withKeyFlags(KeyFlag.SIGN_DATA)
|
|
||||||
.withDetailedConfiguration()
|
|
||||||
.withDefaultSymmetricAlgorithms()
|
|
||||||
.withDefaultHashAlgorithms()
|
|
||||||
.withPreferredCompressionAlgorithms(CompressionAlgorithm.ZLIB)
|
|
||||||
.withFeature(Feature.MODIFICATION_DETECTION)
|
|
||||||
.done())
|
|
||||||
.withSubKey(
|
|
||||||
KeySpec.getBuilder(ECDH.fromCurve(EllipticCurve._P256))
|
|
||||||
.withKeyFlags(KeyFlag.ENCRYPT_COMMS, KeyFlag.ENCRYPT_STORAGE)
|
|
||||||
.withDefaultAlgorithms())
|
|
||||||
.withMasterKey(
|
|
||||||
KeySpec.getBuilder(RSA.withLength(RsaLength._8192))
|
|
||||||
.withKeyFlags(KeyFlag.SIGN_DATA, KeyFlag.CERTIFY_OTHER)
|
|
||||||
.withDefaultAlgorithms())
|
|
||||||
.withPrimaryUserId("Juliet <juliet@montague.lit>")
|
|
||||||
.withPassphrase("romeo_oh_Romeo<3")
|
|
||||||
.build();
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Encrypt / Sign Data
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Encrypting and signingOptions data is pretty straight forward as well.
|
|
||||||
```java
|
|
||||||
EncryptionStream encryptor = PGPainless.encryptAndOrSign()
|
|
||||||
.onOutputStream(targetOuputStream)
|
|
||||||
.toRecipients(publicKeyRings)
|
|
||||||
.usingSecureAlgorithms()
|
|
||||||
.signWith(secretKeyDecryptor, signingKeyRing)
|
|
||||||
.noArmor();
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Note: Despite the name, the `EncryptionStream` can be used to sign only as well. Simply replace the `.toRecipients()` option with `doNotEncrypt()`.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The resulting `EncryptionStream` can then be used to encrypt data like follows:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```java
|
|
||||||
Streams.pipeAll(sourceInputStream, encryptor);
|
|
||||||
sourceInputStream.close();
|
|
||||||
encryptor.close();
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The encrypted data will be written to the provided `targetOutputStream`.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Additionally you can get information about the encrypted data by calling
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```java
|
|
||||||
OpenPgpMetadata result = encryptor.getResult();
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This object will contain information like to which keys the message is encrypted, which keys were used for signingOptions and so on.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Decrypt / Verify Encrypted Data
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To process incoming encrypted / signed data, just do the following:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```java
|
|
||||||
DecryptionStream decryptor = PGPainless.decryptAndOrVerify()
|
|
||||||
.onInputStream(sourceInputStream) // insert encrypted data here
|
|
||||||
.decryptWith(secretKeyDecryptor, secretKey)
|
|
||||||
.verifyWith(trustedKeyIds, senderKeys)
|
|
||||||
.ignoreMissingPublicKeys()
|
|
||||||
.build();
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Again, the resulting `DecryptionStream` can be used like a normal stream.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```java
|
|
||||||
Streams.pipeAll(decryptor, targetOutputStream);
|
|
||||||
decryptor.close();
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
*After* the `DecryptionStream` was closed, you can get metadata about the processed data by retrieving the `OpenPgpMetadata`.
|
|
||||||
Again, this object will contain information about how the message was encrypted, who signed it and so on.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```java
|
|
||||||
OpenPgpMetadata result = decryptor.getResult();
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
