Easy OpenPGP With PGPainless

  Simple to use OpenPGP API based on Bouncy Castle

  

The API is capable of way more though, such as symmetric encryption using a passphrase, creating signatures on other users' certificates, modifying keys (adding user-ids and subkeys, changing passphrases, revoking, and expiring keys and user-ids...), and so on. There is an example package that demonstrates many of those use cases.

  Make using Bouncy Castle with OpenPGP fun again!

That's why I decided to create PGPainless. Originally, I was looking for other alternatives and stumbled across a library called bouncy-gpg, but I quickly figured that it was not suiting my needs and decided to go my own way. Nevertheless, bouncy-gpg heavily influenced PGPainless' development, especially in the early phases.

  Stateless OpenPGP Protocol API and CLI for Java

  

PGPainless provides both a programmatic adaption of this API, as well as a CLI app. This means that if your app needs to do basic OpenPGP operations, you can simply depend on a module called sop-java which defines the programmatic SOP interface (here is a guide). This interface can be implemented by any OpenPGP library, but PGPainless provides its own implementation through the module pgpainless-sop. That way you can benefit from a super simple-to-use OpenPGP API while not being locked in to use PGPainless.
