Remarks

PGPReader lets you process PGP messages, and validate and extract the protected data.

PGPReader supports all modern PGP keys and formats, from last-century PGP 2.6.x to the state-of-the art PGP 6. Single- and multi-file, as well as for-your-eyes-only PGP containers are supported.

The use of PGPReader is quite straightforward: you only need to provide the protected data and the keyring files, and the component will do the rest. PGPReader detects the protection parameters, matches them to the keys, and unwraps the protected data automatically.

Preparing keys

Encryption and signing in PGP is done with asymmetric keys (and sometimes with passwords, but that is a far less common scenario). Keys are normally stored in files called keyrings. More often that not they consist of a pair of files: a public keyring (e.g pubring.pkr) and a secret keyring (secring.skr), although there are exceptions. Sometimes, parties provide each other with standalone public keys that they want them to encrypt or verify data with.

Whichever form your keyring takes, use PGPKeyring to load it. It is recommended to load all the keyring files that you have to make sure that you have all the keys loaded. PGPKeyring can detect duplicate keys, so don't worry about loading the same key twice - any duplicates will be neatly merged together into one key object. PGPKeyring keyring = new PGPKeyring(); keyring.ImportFromFile("pubring.pkr"); keyring.ImportFromFile("secring.skr");

You keyring will typically contain two types of keys: public and private. Private keys (i.e. your keys) are used for signing and decryption. Public keys (someone else's keys) are used for encryption and signature verification. This means that if you are looking to decrypt a file, you need to get your private keys ready. If you are looking to verify someone's signature over the data, you need to get the public keys.

When processing protected files PGPReader can look for the required keys in the keyring and select the appropriate ones automatically. This means that you do not need to comb through your key collection manually, cherry-picking public and private keys. Simply assign the entire collection of keys to PGPReader's DecryptingKeys and VerifyingKeys properties, and PGPReader will find and use the right one: reader.DecryptingKeys = keyring.Keys; reader.VerifyingKeys = keyring.Keys;

When it comes to using your private keys - i.e. when decrypting the data - there is one important catch that you need to keep in mind. Private PGP keys are typically protected with passwords. To be able to use them, you need to provide the valid password to the component when the key needs to be used. You can do that in one of the following three ways:

• By assigning the password to property. You can check whether the provided password is valid using the property.
• By assigning the password to KeyPassphrase property. This and the previous method assumes that you anticipate which key you will likely need to use.
• By subscribing to KeyPassphraseNeeded event and providing the password from within the event handler. This event will be fired in the middle of the decryption process for each eligible private key for which no valid password was provided using the first two methods. This method lets you provide the password on-the-fly, and is handy when you don't know which key you are going to use in advance.

Configuring the component

Unprotection configuration if quite straightforward and encompasses adjustment of the following settings:

• Provide the input data via the InputFile (or InputBytes) property.
• Provide the destination in OutputFile. If no output destination is provided, the output will be generated in OutputBytes.
• When processing multi-files PGP archives, consider subscribing to MultipleFilesFound, FileExtractionStart and FileExtractionFinish events. These come handy in tracking progress and adjusting output locations for individual files.
• Depending on your circumstances, you may want to subscribe to Signed and EncryptionInfo events to be notified about various protection parameters.

Unprotecting the file

You are all set now. Call the appropriate unprotection method to proceed with operation:

• DecryptAndVerify: process the input data by decrypting any protected data, extracting individual files, and verifying signatures. This is the method that you would likely need to use in most cases.
• VerifyDetached: verify a detached signature. Remember that you need to provide the original data separately via the DataFile or DataBytes properties.

reader.InputFile = "C:\files\input.pgp"; reader.OutputFile = "C:\files\output.txt"; reader.DecryptingKeys = keyring.Keys; reader.VerifyingKeys = keyring.Keys; reader.KeyPassphrase = "password"; reader.DecryptAndVerify();

 'pars'
 'encrypteddata'
 'data'

Remarks

Assign a handler to this event if you need to delegate a low-level decryption operation to an external, remote, or custom decryption engine. The handler receives an encrypted value in the EncryptedData parameter, and is expected to decrypt it and place the decrypted value into the Data parameter.

OperationId provides a comment about the operation and its origin. It depends on the exact class being used, and may be empty. Algorithm specifies the encryption algorithm being used, and Pars contains algorithm-dependent parameters.

The class uses base16 (hex) encoding for the EncryptedData, Data, and Pars parameters. If your decryption engine uses a different input and output encoding, you may need to decode and/or encode the data before and/or after the decryption.

Sample data encoded in base16: a0dee2a0382afbb09120ffa7ccd8a152 - lower case base16 A0DEE2A0382AFBB09120FFA7CCD8A152 - upper case base16

The user should provide an output filename in OutputFile or a stream in OutputStream. If none of them is provided, the extracted file will be placed to OutputBytes. After the file is extracted, FileExtractionFinish event is fired.

KeyPassphraseNeeded Event (SecureBlackbox_PGPReader Class)

Requests a key protection password from the application.

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireKeyPassphraseNeeded($param);

Procedural Interface

secureblackbox_pgpreader_register_callback($res, 6, array($this, 'fireKeyPassphraseNeeded'));

Parameter List

 'keyid'
 'userid'
 'mainkey'
 'passphrase'
 'skip'

Remarks

The class fires this event to request a secret key passphrase from the application. Note that this event asks for a key protection passphrase rather than a message protection passphrase (which is requested via PassphraseNeeded). The class fires it when it has found a suitable decryption secret key in the keyring, and attempts to use it to decrypt the data.

If the data is encrypted with multiple keys, this event is called for each key in a loop until the password for at least one key is provided correctly. KeyID specifies the key for which the password is requested, and UserID identifies its user. MainKey tells whether the key is a master key or a subkey.
