+# Stateless OpenPGP Protocol Implementation using Bouncy Castle
+
+This repository contains an implementation of the [Stateless OpenPGP Protocol](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dkg-openpgp-stateless-cli/)
+using [sop-java](https://github.com/pgpainless/sop-java) and [Bouncy Castle](https://www.bouncycastle.org/).
+
+There are two modules in this repository:
+* [bc-sop-api] contains a high-level JAVA API of the SOP protocol using Bouncy Castle
+* [bc-sop-cli] contains a CLI app implementing the SOP protocol following the spec.
+
+# Build
+
+Currently, this build depends on an open development branch of Bouncy Castle, which can be found in an external repository [here](https://github.com/pgpainless/bc-java/tree/valiadateAPI).
+To make this code available to bcsop, you need to clone the repository and locally install the custom BC build:
+
+```bash
+git clone git@github.com:pgpainless/bc-java.git
+cd bc-java
+git checkout valiadateAPI
+gradle publishToMavenLocal
+```
+
+In order to build the GraalVM native-image of the CLI app, you need to have graalvm 21.0.5 installed and `GRAALVM_HOME` pointing to it.
+The easiest way to accomplish this is using [sdkman](https://sdkman.io).
+
+Afterwards, you can navigate to your clone of this repository and build the CLI app as a GraalVM native-image using this command:
+```bash
+mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip
+```
+
+The CLI binary can then be found as `bc-sop-cli/target/bcsop`.

+  83    Options were supplied that are incompatible with each other
+  89    The requested profile is unsupported, or the indicated subcommand does
+          not accept profiles
+  97    The implementation supports some form of hardware-backed secret keys,
+          but could not identify the hardware device
+  101   The implementation tried to use a hardware-backed secret key, but the
+          cryptographic hardware refused the operation for some reason other
+          than a bad PIN or password
