# PGPainless-SOP
# PGPainless-CLI
PGPainless-SOP is an implementation of the [Stateless OpenPGP Command Line Interface](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dkg-openpgp-stateless-cli-01) specification based on PGPainless.
PGPainless-CLI is an implementation of the [Stateless OpenPGP Command Line Interface](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dkg-openpgp-stateless-cli-01) specification based on PGPainless.
It plugs `pgpainless-sop` into `sop-java-picocli`.
## Build
To build an executable, `gradle jar` should be sufficient. The resulting jar file can be found in `pgpainless-sop/build/libs/`.
## Execute
Alternatively you can use the provided `./pgpainless-cli` script to execute PGPainless' Stateless Command Line Interface from within Gradle.
The jar file produced in the step above is executable as is.
```
java -jar pgpainless-cli-XXX.jar help
```
Alternatively you can use the provided `./pgpainless-cli` script to directly build and execute PGPainless' Stateless Command Line Interface from within Gradle.
To discover all available commands use
```
./pgpainless-cli help
```

# PGPainless-SOP
Implementation of the Stateless OpenPGP Protocol using PGPainless.
This module implements `sop-java` using `pgpainless-core`.
If your code depends on `sop-java`, this module can be used as a realization of those interfaces.

# SOP-Java-Picocli
Implementation of the [Stateless OpenPGP Command Line Interface](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dkg-openpgp-stateless-cli-01) specification.
This terminal application allows generation of OpenPGP keys, extraction of public key certificates,
armoring and de-armoring of data, as well as - of course - encryption/decryption of messages and creation/verification of signatures.
## Install a SOP backend
This module comes without a SOP backend, so in order to function you need to extend it with an implementation of the interfaces defined in `sop-java`.
An implementation using PGPainless can be found in the module `pgpainless-sop`, but it is of course possible to provide your
own implementation.
Just install your SOP backend by calling
```java
// static method call prior to execution of the main method
SopCLI.setSopInstance(yourSopImpl);
```
## Usage
To get an overview of available commands of the application, execute
```shell
java -jar sop-java-picocli-XXX.jar help
```
If you just want to get started encrypting messages, see the module `pgpainless-cli` which initializes
`sop-java-picocli` with `pgpainless-sop`, so you can get started right away without the need to manually wire stuff up.
Enjoy!

# SOP-Java
Stateless OpenPGP Protocol for Java.
This module contains interfaces that model the API described by the
[Stateless OpenPGP Command Line Interface](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dkg-openpgp-stateless-cli/) specification.
This module is not a command line application! For that, see `sop-java-picocli`.
## Why should I use this?
If you need to use OpenPGP functionality like encrypting/decrypting messages, or creating/verifying
signatures inside your application, you probably don't want to start from scratch and instead reuse some library.
Instead of locking yourselves in by depending hard on that one library, you can simply depend on the interfaces from
`sop-java` and plug in a library (such as `pgpainless-sop`) that implements said interfaces.
That way you don't make yourself dependent from a single OpenPGP library and stay flexible.
Should another library emerge, that better suits your needs (and implements `sop-java`), you can easily switch
by swapping out the dependency with minimal changes to your code.
## Why should I *implement* this?
Did you create an [OpenPGP](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4880) implementation that can be used in the Java ecosystem?
By implementing the `sop-java` interface, you can turn your library into a command line interface (see `sop-java-picocli`).
This allows you to plug your library into the [OpenPGP interoperability test suite](https://tests.sequoia-pgp.org/)
of the [Sequoia-PGP](https://sequoia-pgp.org/) project.
