I am really struggling with this, I need to encrypt and decrypt a string using BouncyCastle in C#. I really did try to do this on my own. I did manage to create my own keys (private and public). Please keep in mind that I am fresh out of college. It took me a while to find a decent example of using bouncy castle for PGP. This is what I use in production. I'm pretty sure it originated from here . using System; using System.IO; using Org.BouncyCastle.Bcpg; using Org.BouncyCastle.Bcpg.OpenPgp; using Org.BouncyCastle.Security; using Org.BouncyCastle.Utilities.IO; namespace FileEncryptionTasks

I have a web application that needs to store server login information. I'm using a 2048bit PGP public key to encrypt inserted passwords (see the insertServerDef ) and a private key with a passphrase to decrypt the passwords (see getServerDef ). As I understand things, the weakest link in this chain is the handling of the private key and passphrase. As you can see from my code below, I'm just using file_get_contents to retrieve the key and passphrase from files located in the current web directory--not good. My question is: what is a good method for securely retrieving the private key and

I've seen a number of posts, followed a number of tutorials but none seems to work. Sometimes, they make reference to some classes which are not found. Can I be pointed to a place where I can get a simple tutorial showing how to encrypt and decrypt a file. I'm very new to Pgp and any assistance is welcomed. Chris B. Behrens How's this: PartialInputStream during Bouncycastle PGP decryption Also, the zip contains examples here: http://www.bouncycastle.org/csharp/ Hope this helps. If you're still stuck, post some more detail about what classes the compiler is complaining about and the community

Is there a way to sign git commits with gpg? It's so easy with tags (using -s instead of -a ), it seems there would be a similar function for commits. git commit -S (requires git >= 1.7.9). VonC Note: Adding the -S option all the time can be cumbersome. In git 2.0 and later, you can add a config which will take care of that option for you. See commit 2af2ef3 by Nicolas Vigier (boklm) : Add the commit.gpgsign option to sign all commits If you want to GPG sign all your commits, you have to add the -S option all the time. The commit.gpgsign config option allows to sign all commits automatically.

I need to encrypt a stream with pgp using the bouncycastle provider. All of the examples I can find are about taking a plain text file and encrypting that however I won't have a file and it's important that the plain text never be written to disk. Most of the methods I've seen are using PGPUtil.writeFileToLiteralData which wants the plaintext passed in. I'd rather passin a byte[] or an inputStream. Can someone point me to an example that starts from string/byte[]/inputstream encrypts said string/byte[] to an outputStrem that I can write to a file decrypts from an inputStream In case anyone

I've researched a bit about how to achieve what I said in the question and found several APIs but most of them look very complicated and since I'm just a noobie in this area I just want a simple method like: public String Encrypt(String message, PublicKey publicKey) Don't know if this can be done? If not then please someone enlighten me another way to achieve this :) Thank you. UPDATE: So far I have only seen that all of the library for OpenPGP encryption require both the public key and private key to do the encrypt while I only want to encrypt with the public key (because I don't have the
