**ObjectivePGP** is an implementation of [OpenPGP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy#OpenPGP) protocol for iOS and macOS. OpenPGP is the most widely used email encryption standard. It is defined by the OpenPGP Working Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
Here is the [blog post](https://blog.krzyzanowskim.com/2014/07/31/short-story-about-openpgp-for-ios-and-os-x-objectivepgp/) story.

]
```
### CocoaPods

- [ObjectivePGP.xcframework](Frameworks/)
## Usage
Objective-C
```objective-c
#import
```
Swift
```swift
import ObjectivePGP
```
##### Read keys (private or public)
```objective-c
NSArray *keys = [ObjectivePGP readKeysFromPath:@"/path/to/key.asc" error:nil];
```
```swift
let keys = try ObjectivePGP.readKeys(fromPath: "/path/to/key.asc")
```
##### Keyring
Keyring is a storage (in memory or on disk) that keep all sorts of PGP keys.
```objective-c
PGPKeyring *keyring = ObjectivePGP.defaultKeyring;
PGPKeyring *keyring = [[PGPKeyring alloc] init];
NSArray *allKeys = keyring.keys;
[keyring importKeys:@[key]];
[keyring deleteKeys:@[key]];
[keyring importKey:@"979E4B03DFFE30C6" fromPath:@"/path/to/secring.gpg"];
PGPKey *key = [keyring findKeyWithIdentifier:@"979E4B03DFFE30C6"];
NSArray keys = [pgp findKeysForUserID:@"Name "];
```
```swift
let keyring = ObjectivePGP.defaultKeyring
let keyring = Keyring()
let allKeys = keyring.keys
keyring.import(keys: [key])
keyring.delete(keys: [key])
keyring.import(keyIdentifier:"979E4B03DFFE30C6", fromPath:"/path/to/secring.gpg")
if let key = keyring.findKey("979E4B03DFFE30C6") {
// key found in keyring
}
keyring.findKeys("Name ").forEach(key) {
// process key
}
```
##### Export keys (private or public)
```objective-c
// Write keyring to file
[[keyring export:error] writeToURL:[NSURL fileURLWithString:@"keyring.gpg"]];
// Public keys data
NSData *publicKeys = [keyring exportKeysOfType:PGPKeyTypePublic error:nil];
```
```swift
// Write keyring to file
try keyring.export().write(to: URL(fileURLWithPath: "keyring.gpg"))
// Public keys (Data)
let publicKeys = keyring.exportKeys(of: .public)
```
##### Sign & verify data (or file)
Sign a data with a key:
```objective-c
NSData *signature = [ObjectivePGP sign:fileContent detached:YES usingKeys:@[key] passphraseForKey:nil error:nil];
[ObjectivePGP verify:fileContent withSignature:signature usingKeys:@[key] passphraseForKey:nil error:nil];
```
```swift
let signature = try ObjectivePGP.sign(encryptedBin, detached:true, using: [key1])
try ObjectivePGP.verify(encryptedBin, withSignature: signature, using: [key1])
```
##### Encrypt & Decrypt
```objective-c
NSData *encrypted = [ObjectivePGP encrypt:fileContent addSignature:YES usingKeys:@[key] passphraseForKey:nil error:nil];
[ObjectivePGP decrypt:encrypted andVerifySignature:YES usingKeys:@[key] passphraseForKey:nil error:nil];
```
```swift
let encrypted = try ObjectivePGP.encrypt(fileContent), addSignature: true, using: [key1, key2])
let decrypted = try ObjectivePGP.decrypt(encrypted, andVerifySignature: true, using: [key1])
```
##### Generate new key pair
```objective-c
PGPKeyGenerator *generator = [[PGPKeyGenerator alloc] init];
PGPKey *key = [generator generateFor:@"Marcin " passphrase:nil];
NSData *publicKeyData = [key export:PGPKeyTypePublic error:nil];
NSData *secretKeyData = [key export:PGPKeyTypeSecret error:nil];
```
```swift
let key = KeyGenerator().generate(for: "[email protected]", passphrase: "password")
let publicKey = try key.export(keyType: .public)
let secretKey = try key.export(keyType: .secret)
```
#### ASCII Armor
ASCII armor is a binary-to-textual encoding converter. ASCII armor involves encasing encrypted messaging in ASCII so that they can be sent in a standard messaging format such as email.
Example:
```
-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
Comment: For more info see https://www.objectivepgp.org
[...]
-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
```
Class `PGPArmor` can be used to convert binary format to ASCII format
```objective-c
NSString *armoredKey = [PGPArmor armoredData:encrypted as:PGPArmorPublicKey];
```
```swift
let armoredKey = Armor.armored(Data(), as: .publicKey)
```
When convert manually, it is important to use right `PGPArmorType` value that define the header. It may be a tricky part so here's the cheatsheet:
| Type data | PGPArmorType | Example |
| ---------- | --------------------- |-------- |
| Encrypted | `PGPArmorMessage` | `Armor.armored(ObjectivePGP.encrypt(...), as: .message)` |
| Decrypted | `PGPArmorMessage` | `Armor.armored(ObjectivePGP.decrypt(...), as: .message)` |
| Public key | `PGPArmorTypePublic` | `Armor.armored(key.export(), as: .publicKey)` |
| Secret key | `PGPArmorTypeSecret` | `Armor.armored(key.export(), as: .secretKey)` |
For any result of encryption the type is `PGPArmorMessage`
