SecureBlackbox 16: A class library for PGP-compatible OpenPGP

Note: This article applies only to SecureBlackbox Legacy. For future development please consider using the latest version.

SecureBlackbox offers an authentic implementation of the OpenPGP standard (RFC 2440 and RFC 4880) in its OpenPGPBlackbox package. You can use OpenPGPBlackbox in .NET and Java applications on web servers, desktops and mobile platforms (Android with Java edition, iOS, Android and Windows Phone / Windows Mobile with .NET edition). OpenPGPBlackbox is fully compatible with the BouncyCastle library, GnuPG, and PGP Desktop to the extent to which these applications and libraries comply with the OpenPGP standard.

OpenPGP Compliance

The full scope of OpenPGP operations, such as key generation and management, file signing and encryption, and creation of self-extracting OpenPGP archives, is supported. The option, introduced by PGP Desktop, to place several files with data into one OpenPGP archive is supported as well.
