Making PGP usable again! A simple and intuitive to use PGP application.
- It is simple to use.
- It is flexible. It works for all email providers.
- Runs all cryptographic computation locally on the machine. Hence, it is end-to-end secure unlike In-Browser Cryptography. More on this here.
- Python3: PGPy as backend for pgp related functions, flask for web UI controller and Key server APIs.
- html + css + js for front end
Make sure python version is >=3.6.
Install python requirements.
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Run the script to launch the application. To exit out of the loop type 'exit'. (To flexibly use mutiple python3 versions, python command is taken as argument)
<python cmd> UsablePGP.py <python cmd>
For example:
python3 UsablePGP.py python3
UsablePGP.py starts two process:
- Runs key-server/server.py at 5000 port of localhost.
- Runs app/app.py at 8000 port.
Double click start.bat file.
- A server which holds user credentials and their public key (localhost in testing).
- Python (flask) backend to serve Frontend.
- On executing our app, a server process will be created in python and UI will be served in browser. Web app acts as front end to the services provided by flask and pgpy.
- A username/email can only have single key pair at any instance.
- User can only created encrypted message for people who have registered on our server.
- Encrypting for mutiple email addresses at once
- Verifying users' email address to sign public key for web of trust
- Provide secure backup option
