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/decryption operations, as well as straight forward key generation.

PGPainless is based around the Bouncy Castle 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 Bouncy Castles lightweight reimplementation.

While signature verification in Bouncy Castle 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 first place on Sequoia-PGPs Interoperability Test-Suite.

At FlowCrypt we are using PGPainless in our Kotlin code bases on Android and on server side. The ergonomics of legacy PGP tooling on Java is not very good, and PGPainless improves it greatly. We were so happy with our initial tests and with Paul - the maintainer, that we decided to sponsor further development of this library.

Finally, testing irrefutably confirmed that the library removes many associated difficulties with PGP use in its provision of an approachable and uncomplicated API. In this regard, Paul Schaub deserves the utmost praise.

Get Started

The very easiest way to start using OpenPGP on Java/Kotlin based systems is to use an implementation of sop-java. sop-java defines a very stripped down API and is super easy to get started with. Luckily PGPainless provides an implementation for the sop-java interface definitions in the form of pgpainless-sop.

If you need more flexibility, directly using pgpainless-core is the way to go.

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!

Handle Keys

Reading keys from ASCII armored strings or from binary files is easy:

        String key = "-----BEGIN PGP PRIVATE KEY BLOCK-----\n"...
        PGPSecretKeyRing secretKey = PGPainless.readKeyRing()
                .secretKeyRing(key);

Similarly, keys can quickly be exported::

        PGPSecretKeyRing secretKey = ...;
        String armored = PGPainless.asciiArmor(secretKey);
        ByteArrayOutputStream binary = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        secretKey.encode(binary);

Extract a public key certificate from a secret key:

        PGPSecretKeyRing secretKey = ...;
        PGPPublicKeyRing certificate = PGPainless.extractCertificate(secretKey);

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.

        // 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.buildKeyRing()
                .setPrimaryKey(KeySpec.getBuilder(
                        RSA.withLength(RsaLength._8192),
                        KeyFlag.SIGN_DATA, KeyFlag.CERTIFY_OTHER))
                .addSubkey(
                        KeySpec.getBuilder(ECDSA.fromCurve(EllipticCurve._P256), KeyFlag.SIGN_DATA)
                                .overrideCompressionAlgorithms(CompressionAlgorithm.ZLIB)
                ).addSubkey(
                        KeySpec.getBuilder(
                                        ECDH.fromCurve(EllipticCurve._P256),
                                        KeyFlag.ENCRYPT_COMMS, KeyFlag.ENCRYPT_STORAGE)
                ).addUserId("Juliet <juliet@montague.lit>")
                .addUserId("xmpp:juliet@capulet.lit")
                .setPassphrase(Passphrase.fromPassword("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.

        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();

        // Information about the encryption (algorithms, detached signatures etc.)
        EncryptionResult result = encryptionStream.getResult();

Decrypt and Verify Signatures

Decrypting data and verifying signatures is being done similarly. 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.

        DecryptionStream decryptionStream = PGPainless.decryptAndOrVerify()
                .onInputStream(encryptedInputStream)
                .withOptions(new ConsumerOptions()
                        .addDecryptionKey(bobSecKeys, secretKeyProtector)
                        .addVerificationCert(alicePubKeys)
                );

        Streams.pipeAll(decryptionStream, outputStream);
        decryptionStream.close();

        // Result contains information like signature status etc.
        MessageMetadata metadata = decryptionStream.getMetadata();

After the DecryptionStream was closed, you can get metadata about the processed data by retrieving the MessageMetadata. Again, this object will contain information about how the message was encrypted, who signed it and so on.

Many more examples can be found in the examples package!!!
