PgpCore 1.2.0

PgpCore

A .NET Core class library for using PGP.

This is based on <a href="https://github.com/Cinchoo/ChoPGP" alt="ChoPGP">ChoPGP</a> but updated to .NET Core framework and to add in a missing utilities class.

Installation

To use PgpCore in your C# project, you can either download the PgpCore C# .NET libraries directly from the Github repository or, if you have the NuGet package manager installed, you can grab them automatically.

PM> Install-Package PgpCore

Once you have the PgpCore libraries properly referenced in your project, you can include calls to them in your code.

Add the following namespaces to use the library:

using PgpCore;

Dependencies

BouncyCastle.NetCore (>= 1.8.1.3)

Microsoft.NETCore.App (>= 1.1.2)

Usage

This is intended for usage in .NET Core projects.

using (PGP pgp = new PGP())
{
	// Generate keys
	pgp.GenerateKey(@"C:\TEMP\keys\public.asc", @"C:\TEMP\keys\private.asc", "email@email.com", "password");
	// Encrypt file
	pgp.EncryptFile(@"C:\TEMP\keys\content.txt", @"C:\TEMP\keys\content__encrypted.pgp", @"C:\TEMP\keys\public.asc", true, true);
	// Decrypt file
	pgp.DecryptFile(@"C:\TEMP\keys\content__encrypted.pgp", @"C:\TEMP\keys\content__decrypted.txt", @"C:\TEMP\keys\private.asc", "password");

	// Encrypt stream
	using (FileStream inputFileStream = new FileStream(@"C:\TEMP\keys\content.txt", FileMode.Open))
	using (Stream outputFileStream = File.Create(@"C:\TEMP\keys\content__encrypted2.pgp"))
	using (Stream publicKeyStream = new FileStream(@"C:\TEMP\keys\public.asc", FileMode.Open))
		pgp.EncryptStream(inputFileStream, outputFileStream, publicKeyStream, true, true);

	// Decrypt stream
	using (FileStream inputFileStream = new FileStream(@"C:\TEMP\keys\content__encrypted2.pgp", FileMode.Open))
	using (Stream outputFileStream = File.Create(@"C:\TEMP\keys\content__decrypted2.txt"))
	using (Stream privateKeyStream = new FileStream(@"C:\TEMP\keys\private.asc", FileMode.Open))
		pgp.DecryptStream(inputFileStream, outputFileStream, privateKeyStream, "password");
}
