What is OpenPGP Component?

OpenPGP Component

OpenPGP Component is a super handy .NET 2.0 C# library that helps you with PGP encrypting, decrypting, and signing your data. The cool part? You can use it with any System.IO.Stream object!

Easy Integration with GnuPG

This component works smoothly with the open-source tool GnuPG. It even lets you grab key ring data as a DataTable, which is pretty neat. Plus, it supports async calls, making your life easier when you're handling tasks in the background.

C# and VB.NET Examples

You’ll find multiple examples in both VB.NET and C#. If you want to sign, encrypt, or decrypt data using .NET Streams, this library interfaces directly with the GnuPG GPG.EXE command line tool. And guess what? It can find the GPG.EXE executable in two ways—by checking the Windows registry or using a path that you provide.

Key Management Made Simple

The library allows you to retrieve a collection or DataSet of keys from your local key ring easily. Whether you want to use it as a DLL or add source code right into your project, it's flexible enough for whatever suits your needs.

Documentation and Output Options

You’ll also get integrated help documentation for Visual Studio.NET! And when it comes to output types, choose between ASCII Armor or Binary formats based on what fits best for your project.

Passphrase Support and Async Methods

If you're working with sensitive information, no worries! The component supports optional passphrases during decryption. Both Encrypt and Decrypt methods have async counterparts called EncryptAsync and DecryptAsync. This means you can process things in the background without extra hassle—just fire off those calls!

This library is written entirely in managed C# code, ensuring smooth operation within .NET environments. So if you're ready to dive into secure data handling, check out this amazing tool! For more details or to download OpenPGP Component, head over to our software page!
