About
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
PGPainless aims to make using OpenPGP in Java projects as simple as possible.
|
|
It does so by introducing an intuitive Builder structure, which allows easy
|
|
setup of encryption / decrytion operations, as well as straight forward key generation.
|
|
|
|
PGPainless is based around the Bouncycastle java library and can be used on Android down to API level 9.
|
|
|
|
### NOTE: PGPainless is in a *very* early state of development and should under no circumstances be used for serious production usage yet.
|
|
|
|
## Include PGPainless in your Project
|
|
|
|
PGPainless is available on maven central. In order to include it in your project, just add the
|
|
maven central repository and add PGPainless as a dependency.
|
|
|
|
```gradle
|
|
repositories {
|
|
mavenCentral()
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
dependencies {
|
|
compile 'org.pgpainless:pgpainless-core:0.0.1-alpha1'
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
PGPSecretKeyRing 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_GENERAL.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 signing data is pretty straight forward as well.
|
|
```java
|
|
EncryptionStream encryptor = PGPainless.createEncryptor()
|
|
.onOutputStream(targetOuputStream)
|
|
.toRecipients(publicKeyRings)
|
|
.usingSecureAlgorithms()
|
|
.signWith(secretKeyDecryptor, signingKeyRing)
|
|
.noArmor();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
PainlessResult result = encryptor.getResult();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That object will contain information like to which keys the message is encrypted, which keys were used for signing and so on.
|
|
|
|
### Decrypt / Verify Encrypted Data
|
|
|
|
To process incoming encrypted / signed data, just do the following:
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
DecryptionStream decryptor = PGPainless.createDecryptor()
|
|
.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 `PainlessResult`.
|
|
Again, this object will contain information about how the message was encrypted, who signed it and so on.
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
PainlessResult result = decryptor.getResult();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## About
|
|
PGPainless is a by-product of my [Summer of Code 2018 project](https://vanitasvitae.github.io/GSOC2018/).
|
|
For that project I was in need of a simple to use OpenPGP library.
|
|
|
|
Originally I was going to use [Bouncy-GPG](https://github.com/neuhalje/bouncy-gpg) for my project,
|
|
but ultimately I decided to create my own OpenPGP library which better fits my needs.
|
|
|
|
However, PGPainless is heavily influenced by Bouncy-GPG and I would definitely recommend you to
|
|
use it instead of PGPainless if you want a more mature, better tested code base.
|
