OpenPGP Module
Properties Configuration Settings
The OpenPGP Transformer provides OpenPGP signing and encryption functionality.
Remarks
The OpenPGP Module is used for sending and receiving OpenPGP signed and encrypted messages. The messages may be signed, encrypted, or both.
By default the OpenPGP Module will use an internal OpenPGP implementation. This implementation of OpenPGP does not require any additional dependencies and is completely managed.
Alternatively the module may be configured to use an external implementation such as GnuPG. See PGPProviderType for details.
OpenPGP Encoder Module
The encoder takes raw messages as input, and generates a signed, encrypted, or signed and encrypted OpenPGP message as output. This module can be used when creating pipelines to create such messages.
Use the PGPParams property to specify any parameters the interface will need to complete its execution. The SignData and EncryptData properties tell the module which operations should be performed on the message.
OpenPGP Decoder Module
The decoder takes OpenPGP signed, encrypted, or signed and encrypted messages as input, then verifies and/or decrypts the message. The resulting message will be the raw original message.
Use the PGPParams property to specify any parameters the interface will need to complete its execution.
