# OpenPGP Class

The OpenPGP class is used to encrypt/decrypt and sign/verify PGP messages.

## Syntax

**ipworkspgp.openpgp()**

## Remarks

The OpenPGP class supports encrypting/decrypting and signing/verifying OpenPGP messages. Supported message formats are specified by [RFC 4880](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4880), in addition to [RFC 9580](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9580/), which introduces support for OpenPGP Version 6.

GnuPG (2.5.x and later) uses its own Version 5 message format (LibrePGP). The class supports creating and processing LibrePGP-formatted messages as well, for interoperability with GnuPG. See [CompatibilityProfile](#CompatibilityProfile) for details on choosing between the two formats.

The [Encrypt](#openpgpencrypt-method), [Sign](#openpgpsign-method), and [SignAndEncrypt](#openpgpsignandencrypt-method) methods are used to create a message to be sent to your partner. You can additionally create messages bound for multiple recipients with different keys, simultaneously encrypt and compress with the most popular compression algorithms, and control other aspects such as the encrypting algorithm to use.

When a message is received, the [Decrypt](#openpgpdecrypt-method), [VerifySignature](#openpgpverifysignature-method), and [DecryptAndVerifySignature](#openpgpdecryptandverifysignature-method) methods are used to process the incoming message.

The [Keys](#openpgpkeys-property) property holds the key (with private key) used to sign and decrypt.

The [SignerKeys](#openpgpsignerkeys-property) property holds the key used to verify a signature.

The [RecipientKeys](#openpgprecipientkeys-property) property holds the key used to encrypt.

**Input and Output Properties**

The class will determine the source and destination of the input and output based on which properties are set.

The order in which the input properties are checked is as follows:

- [InputFile](#openpgpinputfile-property)
- [InputMessage](#openpgpinputmessage-property)

When a valid source is found the search stops. The order in which the output properties are checked is as follows:

- [OutputFile](#openpgpoutputfile-property)
- [OutputMessage](#openpgpoutputmessage-property): The output data is written to this property if no other destination is specified.

# [OpenPGP](#openpgp-class).config Method

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

## Syntax

```text
async openpgp.config(configurationString : string): Promise< string>
```

## Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve [configuration settings](#config-settings-class-ipworkspgpopenpgp) for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these *internal properties* is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named *PROPERTY*, you must call *Config("PROPERTY=VALUE")*, where *VALUE* is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a [configuration setting](#config-settings-class-ipworkspgpopenpgp), you must call *Config("PROPERTY")*. The value will be returned as a string.

# [OpenPGP](#openpgp-class).decrypt Method

Decrypts the message.

## Syntax

```text
async openpgp.decrypt(): Promise< void>
```

## Remarks

This method decrypts the specified message.

The message will be decrypted using the keys specified in [Keys](#openpgpkeys-property). Before decryption begins the class will fire the [RecipientInfo](#openpgprecipientinfo-event) event with information about the encrypted message, including the key used to encrypt the message. Within this event you may use the available information to load the correct key into [Keys](#openpgpkeys-property).

# [OpenPGP](#openpgp-class).decryptAndVerifySignature Method

Decrypts and verifies the signature of the message.

## Syntax

```text
async openpgp.decryptAndVerifySignature(): Promise< void>
```

## Remarks

This method attempts to both decrypt and verify the signature of the message. All of the properties affected by calling the [Decrypt](#openpgpdecrypt-method) and [VerifySignature](#openpgpverifysignature-method) methods are affected in the same manner.

This method may be used when the data is signed, encrypted, or signed and encrypted. For instance, if the data is encrypted but not signed you may still use this method and the class will perform the decryption without error.

The message will be decrypted using the keys specified in [Keys](#openpgpkeys-property). Before decryption begins the class will fire the [RecipientInfo](#openpgprecipientinfo-event) event with information about the encrypted message, including the key used to encrypt the message. Within this event you may use the available information to load the correct key into [Keys](#openpgpkeys-property).

The message will be verified using the keys specified in [SignerKeys](#openpgpsignerkeys-property). Before verification begins the class will fire the [SignatureInfo](#openpgpsignatureinfo-event) event with information about the signature including the key used to sign the message. Within this event you may use the information available to load the correct key into [SignerKeys](#openpgpsignerkeys-property).

By default, if the signature is not valid the class . The configuration setting [RequireValidSignature](#RequireValidSignature) may be set to False to disable this requirement. When [RequireValidSignature](#RequireValidSignature) is set to False, the *Status* parameter of the [VerificationStatus](#openpgpverificationstatus-event) event should be checked to determine the result of the operation.

NOTE: This method does not attempt to check the validity of the signing key itself.

# [OpenPGP](#openpgp-class).encrypt Method

Encrypts the message.

## Syntax

```text
async openpgp.encrypt(): Promise< void>
```

## Remarks

This method encrypts the specified message.

The message is encrypted with the public keys specified in [RecipientKeys](#openpgprecipientkeys-property).

When encrypting, the following properties may be used to further configure the class:

- [ASCIIArmor](#openpgpasciiarmor-property)
- [CompressionMethod](#openpgpcompressionmethod-property)
- [EncryptingAlgorithm](#openpgpencryptingalgorithm-property)

Additionally, [CompatibilityProfile](#CompatibilityProfile) may be set to control whether the encrypted message uses RFC 9580 or GnuPG's LibrePGP format; see [CompatibilityProfile](#CompatibilityProfile) for details.

# [OpenPGP](#openpgp-class).getRecipientInfo Method

Gets recipient information for an encrypted message.

## Syntax

```text
async openpgp.getRecipientInfo(): Promise< void>
```

## Remarks

This method will fire a [RecipientInfo](#openpgprecipientinfo-event) event for every recipient key for which the message has been encrypted. The event will provide the *KeyId* and *Fingerprint*, which can be used to identify the correct key to be used for decryption.

# [OpenPGP](#openpgp-class).interrupt Method

Interrupt the current method.

## Syntax

```text
async openpgp.interrupt(): Promise< void>
```

## Remarks

If there is no method in progress, Interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.

# [OpenPGP](#openpgp-class).reset Method

Resets the class properties.

## Syntax

```text
async openpgp.reset(): Promise< void>
```

## Remarks

This method resets all message and key properties to their default values.

# [OpenPGP](#openpgp-class).setInputStream Method

Sets the stream from which the class will read data to encrypt or decrypt.

## Syntax

```text
async openpgp.setInputStream(inputStream : ReadableStream): Promise< void>
```

## Remarks

This method sets the stream from which the class will read data to encrypt or decrypt. If an input stream is set before the class attempts to encode or decode an OpenPGP message, the data is read from the input stream instead of from the [InputFile](#openpgpinputfile-property) or [InputMessage](#openpgpinputmessage-property) properties.

**Encrypt and/or Sign**

You can call this method to set the input stream that you would like to sign and/or encrypt. Then call [Sign](#openpgpsign-method), [Encrypt](#openpgpencrypt-method), or [SignAndEncrypt](#openpgpsignandencrypt-method) to sign and/or encrypt the message. The appropriate ASCII Armor headers will be generated in [MessageHeaders](#openpgpmessageheaders-property).

**Decrypt and/or Verify**

You can call this method to specify a valid input stream that contains the signed and/or encrypted data you would like to verify or decrypt. Then call [VerifySignature](#openpgpverifysignature-method), [Decrypt](#openpgpdecrypt-method), or [DecryptAndVerifySignature](#openpgpdecryptandverifysignature-method) to verify and/or decrypt the message.

The content of the stream will be read from the current position all the way to the end and no bytes will be skipped.

**Input and Output Properties**

The class will determine the source and destination of the input and output based on which properties are set.

The order in which the input properties are checked is as follows:

- [InputFile](#openpgpinputfile-property)
- [InputMessage](#openpgpinputmessage-property)

When a valid source is found the search stops. The order in which the output properties are checked is as follows:

- [OutputFile](#openpgpoutputfile-property)
- [OutputMessage](#openpgpoutputmessage-property): The output data is written to this property if no other destination is specified.

# [OpenPGP](#openpgp-class).setOutputStream Method

The stream to which the class will write the fully encrypted or decrypted OpenPGP data.

## Syntax

```text
async openpgp.setOutputStream(outputStream : WriteableStream): Promise< void>
```

## Remarks

This method sets the stream to which the class will write the fully encrypted or decrypted OpenPGP data. If an output stream is set before the class attempts to encode or decode an OpenPGP message, the class will write the data to the output stream instead of populating [OutputMessage](#openpgpoutputmessage-property) or writing to [OutputFile](#openpgpoutputfile-property).

**Sign and/or Encrypt**

To sign and/or encrypt a message to an output stream, you must first populate the Message property with the data you would like to sign and/or encrypt. Next, this method must be called with a valid output stream for which the class may write the signed or encrypted data. Then call [Sign](#openpgpsign-method), [Encrypt](#openpgpencrypt-method), or [SignAndEncrypt](#openpgpsignandencrypt-method) to sign and/or encrypt the message. The appropriate ASCII Armor headers will be generated in [MessageHeaders](#openpgpmessageheaders-property).

**Decrypt and/or Verify**

If you would like to decrypt a message or verify its signature and write the resulting message to an output stream, you should set the Message property to the signed and/or encrypted message you would like to verify or decrypt. Next, you must call this method to specify a valid stream for the component to write the data to. Then call [VerifySignature](#openpgpverifysignature-method), [Decrypt](#openpgpdecrypt-method), or [DecryptAndVerifySignature](#openpgpdecryptandverifysignature-method) to verify and/or decrypt the message.

**Input and Output Properties**

The class will determine the source and destination of the input and output based on which properties are set.

The order in which the input properties are checked is as follows:

- [InputFile](#openpgpinputfile-property)
- [InputMessage](#openpgpinputmessage-property)

When a valid source is found the search stops. The order in which the output properties are checked is as follows:

- [OutputFile](#openpgpoutputfile-property)

# [OpenPGP](#openpgp-class).verifySignature Method

Verifies the signature of the current message.

## Syntax

```text
async openpgp.verifySignature(): Promise< void>
```

## Remarks

This method verifies the signature of the message.

The message will be verified using the keys specified in [SignerKeys](#openpgpsignerkeys-property). Before verification begins the class will fire the [SignatureInfo](#openpgpsignatureinfo-event) event with information about the signature including the key used to sign the message. Within this event you may use the information available to load the correct key into [SignerKeys](#openpgpsignerkeys-property).

By default, if the signature is not valid the class . The configuration setting [RequireValidSignature](#RequireValidSignature) may be set to False to disable this requirement. When [RequireValidSignature](#RequireValidSignature) is set to False, the *Status* parameter of the [VerificationStatus](#openpgpverificationstatus-event) event should be checked to determine the result of the operation.

# [OpenPGP](#openpgp-class).Error Event

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

## Syntax

```text
openpgp.on('Error', listener: (e: {readonly errorCode: number, readonly description: string}) => void )
```

## Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the class .

The *ErrorCode* parameter contains an error code, and the *Description* parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the [Error Codes](#trappable-errors-class-ipworkspgpopenpgp) section.

# [OpenPGP](#openpgp-class).KeyPassphrase Event

Fired if the passphrase of current key is incorrect or empty.

## Syntax

```text
openpgp.on('KeyPassphrase', listener: (e: {readonly userId: string, readonly keyId: string, readonly fingerprint: string, passphrase: string}) => void )
```

## Remarks

This event fires when the passphrase for the key is required. The passphrase must be specified before operations requiring the secret key are attempted. The passphrase may be supplied by setting the *Passphrase* parameter in this event, or by specifying the KeysPassphrase property before attempting the operation.

The passphrase is required when using the following methods in KeyMgr:

- AddUserId
- SignUserId
- ChangeExpirationDate
- ChangePassphrase

When using the OpenPGP class, or an email-based class, the following methods require a passphrase for the key:

- [Decrypt](#openpgpdecrypt-method)
- [Sign](#openpgpsign-method)
- [SignAndEncrypt](#openpgpsignandencrypt-method)

*UserId* holds the user Id of the key the passphrase is required for.

The *UserId* format is:

```text
FirstName LastName (Comment) <Email>
```

 Not all values are required when selecting or generating a key, but at least FirstName or Email are required.

Note that for OpenPGP v6, a key may be created with or without a *UserId*, as the field is optional. If a key was created without a *UserId*, the key's *Fingerprint* can be used as its identifier instead.

*KeyId* is the hex-encoded, 4-byte or 8-byte Id of the key the passphrase is required for. For OpenPGP v4 keys and earlier, the key Id corresponds to the last 4 or 8 bytes of the key's *Fingerprint*. For OpenPGP v6 keys, the key Id corresponds to the first 8 bytes of the key's *Fingerprint* instead. For instance:

```text
5E70662EA810E768
```

*Fingerprint* holds the hex-encoded, 20-byte fingerprint of the key the passphrase is required for. This is in the form:

```text
5E70662EA810E768391A2FE8F7B7D49C89C9D7B1
```

# [OpenPGP](#openpgp-class).Progress Event

Fired as progress is made.

## Syntax

```text
openpgp.on('Progress', listener: (e: {readonly bytesProcessed: number, readonly percentProcessed: number, readonly operation: number, isEOF: boolean}) => void )
```

## Remarks

This event is fired automatically as data is processed by the class.

The *PercentProcessed* parameter indicates the current status of the operation.

The *BytesProcessed* parameter holds the total number of bytes processed so far.

The *Operation* parameter is only applicable when either [ReadFromProgressEvent](#ReadFromProgressEvent) or [WriteToProgressEvent](#WriteToProgressEvent) is set to True. This parameter defines whether a Read or Write operation is required. If the configuration settings are not set this parameter will always return 0. Possible values are:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| 0 | None |
| 1 | Read |
| 2 | Write |

The *IsEOF* parameter is only applicable when either [ReadFromProgressEvent](#ReadFromProgressEvent) or [WriteToProgressEvent](#WriteToProgressEvent) is set to True. This parameter defines whether the Read or Write operation is complete. When the *Operation* is Read (1) this parameter must be set to indicate that all data has been supplied to the class. When the *Operation* is Write (2) this value may be queried to determine when all data has been processed.

# [OpenPGP](#openpgp-class).RecipientInfo Event

Fired for each recipient key of the encrypted message.

## Syntax

```text
openpgp.on('RecipientInfo', listener: (e: {readonly keyId: string, readonly fingerprint: string, readonly publicKeyAlgorithm: string}) => void )
```

## Remarks

This event fires when the [Decrypt](#openpgpdecrypt-method) or [DecryptAndVerifySignature](#openpgpdecryptandverifysignature-method) method is called.

*KeyId* is the hex-encoded 4- or 8-byte Id of the key used to encrypt the message. If a subkey was used to encrypt the message this will be the Id of that subkey. For OpenPGP v4 keys and earlier, the key Id corresponds to the last 4 or 8 bytes of the key's *Fingerprint*. For OpenPGP v6 keys, the key Id corresponds to the first 8 bytes of the key's *Fingerprint* instead. For instance:

```text
5E70662EA810E768
```

*Fingerprint* holds the hex-encoded, 20-byte fingerprint of the key. This is in the form:

```text
5E70662EA810E768391A2FE8F7B7D49C89C9D7B1
```

The *KeyId* and *Fingerprint* parameters can be used to identify the correct key to specify in [Keys](#openpgpkeys-property). [Keys](#openpgpkeys-property) can be set from within this event as this event fires directly before the decryption process begins.

It is recommended to use the *Fingerprint* to identify the correct key, as it is possible for different keys to have the same *KeyId*.

*PublicKeyAlgorithm* is the algorithm of the public key used to encrypt the message. Possible values are:

- *RSA*
- *DSA*
- *ECDSA*
- *EdDSA*
- *Ed25519*
- *Ed448*
- *RSA-Legacy*
- *ECDH* (Subkeys only)
- *X25519* (Subkeys only)
- *X448* (Subkeys only)
- *ML-KEM* (Subkeys only; LibrePGP/GnuPG)
- *ML-KEM-768+X25519* (Subkeys only)
- *ML-KEM-1024+X448* (Subkeys only)

## Syntax

```text
openpgp.on('SignatureInfo', listener: (e: {readonly keyId: string, readonly fingerprint: string, readonly signingAlgorithm: string, readonly publicKeyAlgorithm: string}) => void )
```

## Remarks

This event fires when the [VerifySignature](#openpgpverifysignature-method) or [DecryptAndVerifySignature](#openpgpdecryptandverifysignature-method) method is called. It provides information about the signature of the message.

*KeyId* is the hex-encoded 4- or 8-byte Id of the key used to sign the message. If a subkey was used to sign the message this will be the Id of that subkey. For OpenPGP v4 keys and earlier, the key Id corresponds to the last 4 or 8 bytes of the key's *Fingerprint*. For OpenPGP v6 keys, the key Id corresponds to the first 8 bytes of the key's *Fingerprint* instead. For instance:

```text
5E70662EA810E768
```

*Fingerprint* holds the hex-encoded, 20-byte fingerprint of the key. This is in the form:

```text
5E70662EA810E768391A2FE8F7B7D49C89C9D7B1
```

The *KeyId* and *Fingerprint* parameters can be used to identify the correct key to specify in [SignerKeys](#openpgpsignerkeys-property). [SignerKeys](#openpgpsignerkeys-property) can be set from within this event as this event fires directly before the verification process begins.

It is recommended to use the *Fingerprint* to identify the correct key, as it is possible for different keys to have the same *KeyId*.

*SigningAlgorithm* describes the hash algorithm used when the message was originally signed. This value is applicable only to the message signature, not the key used to sign the message. Possible values are:

- *SHA1*
- *MD5*
- *SHA256*
- *SHA384*
- *SHA512*
- *SHA224*
- *RIPEMD160*

# [OpenPGP](#openpgp-class).Status Event

Shows the progress of the operation.

## Syntax

```text
openpgp.on('Status', listener: (e: {readonly message: string}) => void )
```

## Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. It may be used to track the progress of an operation.

The level of detail is controlled by the [LogLevel](#LogLevel) setting.

# [OpenPGP](#openpgp-class).VerificationStatus Event

Fired after verification of the signed message.

## Syntax

```text
openpgp.on('VerificationStatus', listener: (e: {readonly keyId: string, readonly fingerprint: string, readonly status: number}) => void )
```

## Remarks

This event fires when [VerifySignature](#openpgpverifysignature-method) or [DecryptAndVerifySignature](#openpgpdecryptandverifysignature-method) is called. It provides information about the result.

*KeyId* is the hex-encoded 4- or 8-byte Id of the key used to sign the message. For OpenPGP v4 keys and earlier, the key Id corresponds to the last 4 or 8 bytes of the key's *Fingerprint*. For OpenPGP v6 keys, the key Id corresponds to the first 8 bytes of the key's *Fingerprint* instead. For instance:

```text

# Config Settings (*class *ipworkspgp.[openpgp](#openpgp-class))

 The class accepts one or more of the following *configuration settings*. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these *internal properties* is provided through the [Config](#openpgpconfig-method) method.

### OpenPGP Config Settings

**AEADChunkSizeExp**: Specifies the exponent used to calculate the plaintext chunk size for encryption.This config specifies the exponent used to calculate the plaintext chunk size for encryption. Note this config is only applicable when [EncryptingAlgorithm](#openpgpencryptingalgorithm-property) is set to *AES*-OCB* or *AES*-GCM* (AEAD encryption algorithms).

By default, this value is *6*. Valid values range from *6* to *22*.

The chunk size is calculated as 2^exp (in octets, or bytes), where exp is the value of this configuration setting. For example, the default chunk size would be: 2^(6) = 64 bytes. In this case, the plaintext would be split into chunks of 64 bytes, each of which will be individually encrypted using the specified [EncryptingAlgorithm](#openpgpencryptingalgorithm-property).

**AllowEmptyInput**: Whether to allow empty files for input.This setting controls whether the class allows empty input when processing. When True, the class will process 0 byte files specified by [InputFile](#openpgpinputfile-property), or 0 byte messages specified by [InputMessage](#openpgpinputmessage-property). The default value is False.

**AllowOldPacketType**: Whether to allow the older encrypted packet type.By default the class will only encrypt data using the newer and more secure integrity protected data packet type. Old implementations such as PGP 6.5.8 may require the older less secure data packet type.

When set to True the class will read the features from the recipient key to determine if the older packet type is required. If the key does require the old packet type, then the older packet type will be used. If the key does not require the old packet type, then the new integrity protected packet type will still be used.

By default this value is False. This means under no conditions is the older less secure packet type used. The newer integrity protected packet type is always used.

Only enable this setting if you have a requirement to do so.

**Argon2Iterations**: Specifies the number of iterations used for Argon2.This configuration setting specifies the number of iterations performed for passphrase-based key derivation during symmetric encryption/decryption. Note that this configuration setting is only applicable when [UseArgon2](#UseArgon2) is *True* and [SymmetricPassphrase](#SymmetricPassphrase) is specified.

The default value is *3*. Valid values range from 1 to 2^(32)-1. Higher values provide more brute-force protection for the key passphrase at the cost of performance. This configuration can be used to tune the running time independently of the memory size (see [Argon2MemorySizeExp](#Argon2MemorySizeExp)).

**Argon2MemorySizeExp**: Specifies the exponent used to calculate the memory size used when creating a key.This configuration setting specifies the exponent used when calculating the memory size used for passphrase-based key derivation during symmetric encryption/decryption. Note that this configuration setting is only applicable when [UseArgon2](#UseArgon2) is *True* and [SymmetricPassphrase](#SymmetricPassphrase) is specified.

The default value is *16*. Valid values range from 3 to 31, though the minimum can vary depending on the value of [Argon2Parallelism](#Argon2Parallelism) (see below). The memory size (in KB) is calculated as 2^exp, where exp is the value of this configuration setting. For example, the default memory size would be: 2^(16) = 65,536 KB.

NOTE: The memory size must be an integer number of kilobytes ranging from 8*p to 2^(32)-1, where p is the value of [Argon2Parallelism](#Argon2Parallelism). Therefore, [Argon2MemorySizeExp](#Argon2MemorySizeExp) must be an integer ranging from 3+ceil(log2(p)) to 31. For example, if [Argon2Parallelism](#Argon2Parallelism) is set to *8*, valid values for [Argon2MemorySizeExp](#Argon2MemorySizeExp) range from *6* to *31*.

**Argon2Parallelism**: Specifies the degree of parallelism used for Argon2.This configuration setting specifies the degree of parallelism, or the number of lanes, used for passphrase-based key derivation during symmetric encryption/decryption. Note that this configuration setting is only applicable when [UseArgon2](#UseArgon2) is *True* and [SymmetricPassphrase](#SymmetricPassphrase) is specified.

The default value is *4*. Valid values range from 1 to 2^(24)-1.

**CloseInputStreamAfterProcessing**: Determines whether or not the input stream is closed after processing.Determines whether or not the input stream set by [SetInputStream](#openpgpsetinputstream-method) is closed after processing is complete. The default value is True.

**CloseOutputStreamAfterProcessing**: Determines whether or not the output stream is closed after processing.Determines whether or not the output stream set by [SetOutputStream](#openpgpsetoutputstream-method) is closed after processing is complete. The default value is True.

**CompatibilityProfile**: Specifies the OpenPGP compatibility profile used when creating messages.This setting specifies the OpenPGP compatibility profile used when creating messages via [Encrypt](#openpgpencrypt-method), [Sign](#openpgpsign-method), and [SignAndEncrypt](#openpgpsignandencrypt-method). Possible values are:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| RFC9580 | Creates messages using RFC 9580 formats, including v6 session key packets, RFC 9980 composite ML-KEM recipient keys, and v2 SEIPD packets when AEAD is used. This is the default. |
| LibrePGP | Creates messages compatible with GnuPG's LibrePGP format, including GnuPG ML-KEM recipient keys, v5 symmetric-key session key packets, and OCB Encrypted Data packets when AEAD is used. |

Set this to match the format of the keys involved in the operation, rather than as a fixed preference:

- When encrypting with a recipient key, or signing with a key, that was generated by GnuPG (2.5.x or later) or otherwise uses the LibrePGP key format (see the [KeyMgr](KeyMgr.md#KeyMgr) classes *KeyVersion* setting), set this to *LibrePGP*. This also restricts AEAD encryption to the OCB algorithm, since that is the only AEAD algorithm GnuPG supports.
- When the keys involved are RFC 9580 keys not tied to GnuPG, leave this at the default, *RFC9580*.

Unlike the [KeyMgr](KeyMgr.md#KeyMgr) class, there is no separate key/packet-version setting here: [CompatibilityProfile](#CompatibilityProfile) alone determines which packet version is written for session keys and signatures when a message is created.

This setting only affects the format of messages the class generates. Decrypting and verifying existing messages (via [Decrypt](#openpgpdecrypt-method) and [VerifySignature](#openpgpverifysignature-method)) supports both RFC 9580 and LibrePGP formats regardless of this setting.

**CompressionLevel**: The level of compression used.This setting specifies the level of compression used: possible values depend on the value of [CompressionMethod](#openpgpcompressionmethod-property) and are detailed below.

This value is passed directly to the underlying compression library:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| zlib | -1 (library default), or 0-9 |
| zip | -1 (library default), or 0-9 |
| bzip2 | 1-9 |

 For *zlib* and *zip*, -1 requests the library's own default compression level (typically equivalent to *6*). For *bzip2*, which has no native default level, a value of -1 is treated as *4*. Higher values (other than -1) cause the class to compress better; lower values cause it to compress faster. The default value is -1.

**DeleteOutputFileOnError**: Whether to delete the output file on an error.Set this to true to automatically delete any partially written [OutputFile](#openpgpoutputfile-property) if an error occurs. The default is *false*

**DetachedSignatureData**: The detached signature.This setting is used to specify the detached signature before calling [VerifySignature](#openpgpverifysignature-method). The message data should be specified normally and this setting should be set to the detached signature data. Both hex-string and OpenPGP ASCII-armored message formats are allowed. Hex-encoded data should be provided as a string like so:

```text
89011C04000102000605025100459B000A0910E2...
```

**EnsureValidDSASignatureHashAlgorithm**: Whether or not to select a suitable signature hash algorithm automatically.This setting specifies whether the class ensures a valid hash algorithm is selected for use with the loaded DSA or ECDSA key. The default value is True.

## DSA Notes

DSA requires that the hash be 160 bits or larger, which means MD5 is not a suitable algorithm. When DSA Signature Hash Algorithm selection is enabled (default) the class will use the preferred algorithm from the key if it meets the requirements for DSA. If the preferred algorithm is MD5 and does not meed the requirements for DSA the class will automatically use a suitable algorithm based on the Q element of the DSA key (may be SHA1, SHA224, or SHA256).

## ECDSA Notes

The ECDSA Signature Hash Algorithm requirements are directly related to the KeyCurve used by the key. When this setting is enabled (default) the class will use the preferred algorithm from the key if it meets the requirements for ECDSA. If the preferred algorithm does not meet the requirements the class will automatically select a valid hash algorithm based on the curve as follows:

| Curve | Hash Algorithm |
| --- | --- |
| secp256r1 | SHA256 |
| secp384r1 | SHA384 |
| secp521r1 | SHA512 |
| secp256k1 | SHA256 |

**FileName**: The original name of the encrypted file.When encrypting, this configuration setting can be used to specify the original name of the encrypted data. When specifying an [InputFile](#openpgpinputfile-property) to encrypt from, this is included automatically in the encrypted packet. After decrypting, this will contain the file name of the original encrypted file.

**KeyIdLength**: The length of the KeyId available.This controls the length of KeyId available when [RecipientInfo](#openpgprecipientinfo-event) fires. Possible values are 4 or 8 (default).

For OpenPGP v4 keys and earlier, the key Id corresponds to the last 4 or 8 bytes of the key's *Fingerprint*. For OpenPGP v6 keys, the key Id corresponds to the first 8 bytes of the key's *Fingerprint* instead. For instance:

```text
5E70662EA810E768
```

**KeySelectionMethod**: The method used to select a key for encryption or signing.When more than one key is present this class can be configured to automatically select a key based on certain criteria (described below) or allow for manual selection.

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| 0 | Automatic selection, first suitable subkey. Expired keys accepted. |
| 1 | Automatic selection, first suitable subkey. Expired keys not accepted. |
| 2 | Automatic selection, newest suitable subkey. Expired keys not accepted (Default). |
| 99 | Manual Selection. |

 A key's suitability is determined by its usage flags.

 *Manual Selection*

To manually select a key for any operation pass the key's Id in the constructor.

```text
  Openpgp pgp = new Openpgp();
  pgp.Config("KeySelectionMethod=99");
  pgp.RecipientKeys.Add(new Key(@"C:\path\to\key.asc", "7CA1376C39768977")); // Key with Id 7CA1376C39768977 will be used for encryption.
```

**LogLevel**: Specifies the level of detail that is logged.This setting controls the level of detail that is logged through the [Status](#openpgpstatus-event) event. Possible values are:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| 0 (None) | No events are logged. |
| 1 (Info - default) | Informational events are logged. |
| 2 (Verbose) | Detailed data is logged. |
| 3 (Debug) | Debug data is logged. |

**PGPZipDir**: The directory used when creating or extracting a PGP zip file.A PGP zip file is a Tar archive that is encrypted. It is commonly used by utilities to protect multiple files in one OpenPGP message. The class supports creating and extracting these types of files.

- To create a PGP zip file set this value to a location on disk including a filemask and call [Encrypt](#openpgpencrypt-method). For instance:

```text
OpenPGP1.Config("PGPZipDir=C:\MyFiles\*.txt");
OpenPGP1.OutputFile = "C:\PGPZip.pgp";
OpenPGP1.Encrypt();
```

 The created file returned in the [OutputFile](#openpgpoutputfile-property) property is the PGP zip. If [InputFile](#openpgpinputfile-property) is specified it is used to temporarily hold the Tar archive while creating the PGP zip file. The temporary file is not automatically deleted. If [InputFile](#openpgpinputfile-property) is not specified the Tar archive is held in memory while creating the PGP zip file.
- To extract a PGP zip file set this value to a location on disk and call [Decrypt](#openpgpdecrypt-method). For instance:

```text
OpenPGP1.Config("PGPZipDir=C:\MyFiles");
OpenPGP1.InputFile = "C:\PGPZip.pgp";
OpenPGP1.Decrypt();
```

 The extracted files will be present in the specified directory. If [OutputFile](#openpgpoutputfile-property) is specified it is used to temporarily hold the Tar archive. The temporary file is not automatically deleted. If [OutputFile](#openpgpoutputfile-property) is not specified the Tar archive is held in memory while extracting the PGP zip file. Note that if the OpenPGP message supplied is not a PGP zip file the decryption will occur as normal without error.

**ProgressEventThreshold**: The amount of data in bytes to process before firing the progress event.When encrypting or decrypting, the [Progress](#openpgpprogress-event) event is fired as data is processed by the class. When this setting is specified, the event will only fire after processing at least the specified number of bytes. The default value is 0.

**PublicKeyringFile**: The file name of the public keyring file.This specifies the name of the public keyring file. The default value is "pubring.gpg". This may be set to a file name only, or a full path including the file name.

**ReadFromProgressEvent**: Whether to read input data from inside the progress event.When set to True this setting allows input data to be specified from within the [Progress](#openpgpprogress-event) event. The class will repeatedly fire the [Progress](#openpgpprogress-event) event to ask for data. Inside the event set [InputMessage](#openpgpinputmessage-property) when the *Operation* parameter of the event is 1 (Read). When all data has been provided set the *IsEOF* parameter of the event to True. This allows input data to be chunked and provided piece by piece. The default value is False.

**RecursiveDecryptMode**: Whether the encrypted data should be decrypted recursively.In some instances data will be encrypted multiple times. This configuration option determines how the class will handle this situation. Options are:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| 0 | Automatic - If the PGP message contains the special header version "PGP Command Line" then recursive decryption will be attempted. (Default) |
| 1 | Always attempt recursive decryption. |
| 2 | Never attempt recursive decryption. |

**RequireEncryption**: Whether to throw an error when decrypting and encryption is not detected.By default, the component's decryption methods will succeed if the message is not encrypted. To cause an error to be thrown in this case, set this option to true.

The default value is false.

**RequireIntegrityProtectedPacket**: Whether an MDC packet is required for decryption.When set to true, the class will throw an exception if the message being decrypted does not contain a Message Detection Code (MDC) packet. The default value is false.

**RequireSignature**: Whether to throw an error when verifying a signature and no signature is found.By default, the component's signature verification methods will succeed if the message is not signed. To cause an error to be thrown in this case, set this option to true.

The default value is false.

**RequireValidSignature**: Specifies if an invalid signature is considered an error condition.By default, if the signature is not valid the class . This setting may be set to False to disable this requirement. When False, the *Status* parameter of the [VerificationStatus](#openpgpverificationstatus-event) event should be checked to determine the result of the operation. The default value is True.

**S2KAlgorithm**: Specifies the algorithm for S2K key derivation.Specifies the S2K algorithm used to derive encryption keys from passphrases.

 Possible values are:

- SHA1 (default)
- MD5
- SHA256
- SHA384
- SHA512
- SHA224
- RIPEMD160
- SHA3-256
- SHA3-512

**S2KIterations**: Sets the number of iterations for S2K key derivation.Defines the number of iterations for the String-to-Key (S2K) function, affecting key derivation strength.

By default, this value is *96*. Valid values range from *0* to *255*.

**SecretKeyringFile**: The file name of the secret keyring file.This specifies the name of the secret keyring file. The default value is "secring.gpg". This may be set to a file name only, or a full path including the file name.

**SplitHeaders**: Controls whether ASCII Armor headers are split or not.By default, when headers are specified via [MessageHeaders](#openpgpmessageheaders-property), the class will split headers over a certain length onto multiple lines. This is done to avoid potential errors during transport of the message. If false, the headers will be on one line regardless of length. The default value is True.

**SymmetricPassphrase**: The password used for symmetric encryption or decryption.This setting specifies the passphrase when using symmetric encryption. If a value is provided, symmetric encryption/decryption will be attempted. In this case no keys are used for either encryption or decryption. Only [Encrypt](#openpgpencrypt-method) and [Decrypt](#openpgpdecrypt-method) are valid operations when a value is set. [Sign](#openpgpsign-method), [SignAndEncrypt](#openpgpsignandencrypt-method), [VerifySignature](#openpgpverifysignature-method), and [DecryptAndVerifySignature](#openpgpdecryptandverifysignature-method) are not valid operations when using this option.

**UseArgon2**: Whether to use Argon2 for key derivation during symmetric encryption or decryption.Determines whether the Argon2 algorithm is used as the String-to-Key (S2K) method for passphrase-based key derivation during symmetric encryption/decryption. The default value is *False*.

This configuration is only applicable when [SymmetricPassphrase](#SymmetricPassphrase) is specified and when calling [Encrypt](#openpgpencrypt-method) or [Decrypt](#openpgpdecrypt-method). Additionally, the following configuration settings are applicable when this config is set to *True*:

- [Argon2Iterations](#Argon2Iterations)
- [Argon2Parallelism](#Argon2Parallelism)
- [Argon2MemorySizeExp](#Argon2MemorySizeExp)

Note that if [UseArgon2](#UseArgon2) is enabled, [EncryptingAlgorithm](#openpgpencryptingalgorithm-property) must be specified as an AEAD encryption algorithm (e.g., *AES192-OCB*). Please see the [EncryptingAlgorithm](#openpgpencryptingalgorithm-property) for additional details.

**UseMemoryMode**: Determines whether the entire message is loaded into memory prior to encryption or decryption.This config determines whether the entire message is loaded into memory prior to encryption or decryption.

By default, this config is *False*, and messages will be encrypted or decrypted in a stream-based manner. When *True*, the entire message will be loaded into memory prior to encryption or decryption.

**VerifyClearTextSignatureWithCache**: Whether the cleartext message is cached in memory when verifying a cleartext signature.When verifying a cleartext signature, this configuration setting determines whether the cleartext message is cached in memory.

This config is *True* by default, and **must** be true when verifying an OpenPGP v6 cleartext signature. When enabled, the cleartext portion will be cached in memory until the signature is fully processed.

NOTE: If the signature is known to be an OpenPGP v4 cleartext signature beforehand (i.e., signed with a v4 key), this config may be set to *False*. However, if this config is disabled, the class will be unable to verify OpenPGP v6 cleartext signatures. In this case, the class will throw an exception when calling [VerifySignature](#openpgpverifysignature-method) or [DecryptAndVerifySignature](#openpgpdecryptandverifysignature-method).

**VersionHeader**: The Version header value in the ASCII armored OpenPGP message.This setting specifies the Version header value included in the ASCII armored OpenPGP message. This may be set before calling [Encrypt](#openpgpencrypt-method), [Sign](#openpgpsign-method), or [SignAndEncrypt](#openpgpsignandencrypt-method). The default value is "IPWorks PGP 2026".

This setting will be populated after calling [Decrypt](#openpgpdecrypt-method), [VerifySignature](#openpgpverifysignature-method), or [DecryptAndVerifySignature](#openpgpdecryptandverifysignature-method).

**WriteToProgressEvent**: Whether to write output data so it is accessible from inside the progress event.When set to True this setting allows output data to be obtained from within the [Progress](#openpgpprogress-event) event. The class will repeatedly fire the [Progress](#openpgpprogress-event) event to provide output data. Inside the event check [OutputMessage](#openpgpoutputmessage-property) when the *Operation* parameter of the event is 2 (Write). The *IsEOF* parameter should be checked inside the event to determine when all output data has been provided. This allows output data to be chunked and obtained piece by piece. The default value is False.

### Base Config Settings

**BuildInfo**: Information about the product's build.When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build.

**CodePage**: The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations.The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001).

**LicenseInfo**: Information about the current license.When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a class is using. It will return the following information:

- Product: The product the license is for.
- Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
- License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
- License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
- Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work.

**MaskSensitiveData**: Whether sensitive data is masked in log messages.In certain circumstances it may be beneficial to mask sensitive data, like passwords, in log messages. Set this to *true* to mask sensitive data. The default is *true*.

**UseInternalSecurityAPI**: Whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation. When set to *false*, the class will use the system security libraries by default to perform cryptographic functions where applicable.

Setting this configuration setting to *true* tells the class to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.

 This setting is set to *false* by default on all platforms.
