The PGPainless Ecosystem

PGPainless consists of an ecosystem of different libraries and projects.

The diagram below shows, how the different projects relate to one another.

Libraries and Tools

• {{ 'PGPainless'.format(repo_host) }}
  The main repository contains the following components:

  • pgpainless-core - core implementation - powerful, yet easy to use OpenPGP API
  • pgpainless-sop - super simple OpenPGP implementation. Drop-in for sop-java
  • pgpainless-cli - SOP CLI implementation using PGPainless

• {{ 'SOP-Java'.format(repo_host) }}
  An API definition and CLI implementation of the Stateless OpenPGP Protocol (SOP). Consumers of the SOP API can simply depend on sop-java and then switch out the backend as they wish. Read more about the SOP protocol here.

  • sop-java - generic OpenPGP API definition
  • sop-java-picocli - CLI frontend for sop-java

• {{ 'WKD-Java'.format(repo_host) }}
  Implementation of the Web Key Directory.

  • wkd-java - generic WKD discovery implementation
  • wkd-java-cli - CLI frontend for WKD discovery using PGPainless
  • wkd-test-suite - Generator for test vectors for testing WKD implementations

• {{ 'VKS-Java'.format(repo_host) }}
  Client-side API for communicating with Verifying Key Servers, such as https://keys.openpgp.org/.

  • vks-java - VKS client implementation
  • vks-java-cli - CLI frontend for vks-java

• {{ 'Cert-D-Java'.format(repo_host) }}
  Implementations of the Shared OpenPGP Certificate Directory specification.

  • pgp-certificate-store - abstract definitions of OpenPGP certificate stores
  • pgp-cert-d-java - implementation of pgp-certificate-store following the PGP-CERT-D spec
  • pgp-cert-d-java-jdbc-sqlite-lookup - subkey lookup using sqlite database

• {{ 'Cert-D-PGPainless'.format(repo_host) }}
  Implementation of the Shared OpenPGP Certificate Directory specification using PGPainless.

  • pgpainless-cert-d - PGPainless-based implementation of pgp-cert-d-java
  • pgpainless-cert-d-cli - CLI frontend for pgpainless-cert-d

• {{ 'PGPeasy'.format(repo_host) }}
  Prototypical, comprehensive OpenPGP CLI application

  • pgpeasy - CLI application
