pgp

OpenPGP client written in Go

A simple OpenPGP client written in Go which consists of multiple executables for usage within a Plan 9 environment, but maybe used elsewhere of course.

dec.go

Given private key, decrypts cipher text from stdin and writes it to stdout: pgp/dec <private key>

enc.go

Given one or more public keys, encrypts plain text from stdin and writes [armored] cipher text to stdout: pgp/enc [-a] <public keys>

gen.go

Generates a new public/private PGP key pair. For encryption/decryption and signing/verifying. Creates <keyname>.pub and <keyname>.priv in working directory. pgp/gen [-n <fullname>] [-c <comment>] [-m <mail address>] <keyname>

check.go

Given a signature and public key, verifies detached signature against stdin. pgp/check <sig file> <public key>

sign.go

Given a private key, writes [armored] detached signature to stdout. pgp/sign [-a] <private key>

TODO

Create mkfile

Write an mkfile with support for cross compilation which places binaries inside /$objtype/bin/pgp

Create man page

Write a decent man page in troff respecting the way they are written Plan 9.

Improve error handling

Less technical errors might be desirable.
