GpgFrontend

GpgFrontend is a Powerful, Easy-to-Use, Compact, Cross-Platform, and Installation-Free OpenPGP Crypto Tool.

By using GpgFrontend, you can quickly encrypt and decrypt text or files. Or at the same time as the above operations, you can add your own signature to let others know that this document or this paragraph of text was issued by you. Please take the initiative to protect privacy in your own hands, instead of relying on servers and algorithms provided by large companies.

Notice: GpgFrontend does not provide an embedded gnupg binary library and needs to be installed by the user. This is to ensure safety and avoid code or binary files involved in encryption and decryption being implanted in the backdoor during the delivery process.

If you find this tool useful and promising, welcome to encourage me through STAR this project. Thanks!

Document

for more usage information, please read document.

Purpose

The GpgFrontend project inherit from a relatively mature but not maintained gpg4usb project. It inherits the stable, easy-to-use, compact, and installation-free features of gpg4usb, and plans to support some new features of OpenPGP based on it and continue to improve it.

GpgFrontend will add more functions in the future to improve the ease of use of GPG in end-to-end transmission. At the same time, the addition of new functions does not affect the old basic functions. My personal strength is always limited. GpgFrontend welcomes volunteers to join. You can use the GitHub platform to file an issue, or submit a pull request.

The GpgFrontend project is as open source, and it also insists on using open source codes and libraries.

Build

The tutorial for building the software will be released shortly. Before the relevant documents are released, you can refer to the project-related Github Action file if you know it.
