    OpenPGP implementation for JavaScript

  • I know this might not be the appropriate sub, but does anyone know if there are any good learning resources on this? I am struggling to implement an OpenPGP application using Java, and the documentation is no help. I have had great luck with https://openpgpjs.org/ (a very well documented resource), but I don't understand how to accomplish generating keys, storing them in armored files, and using the stored keys for signing and encryption with BouncyCastle. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

    Bouncy Castle Java Distribution (Mirror)

  • The best official resources are probably the example classes in the bouncycastle repository. They give you a rough idea for how to use the API, although they are a bit minimal unfortunately. You can probably apply a lot of domain knowledge (what algorithms are good/bad) from openpgpjs too, although you'd have to find out how the respective method calls are called on the BC side.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
