Secure PGP Encryption in Your Browser

Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) is an encryption program that provides cryptographic privacy and authentication for data communication. PGP is used for signing, encrypting, and decrypting texts, emails, files, directories, and whole disk partitions.

How PGP Works

PGP uses a combination of symmetric-key and public-key cryptography. This hybrid approach provides the convenience of public-key encryption with the speed of symmetric-key encryption:

1. Key Generation: Users create a pair of keys - a public key that can be shared with anyone, and a private key that must be kept secret.
2. Encryption: When someone wants to send you an encrypted message, they use your public key to encrypt it. Once encrypted, the message can only be decrypted using your private key.
3. Decryption: When you receive an encrypted message, you use your private key to decrypt it and read the original content.
4. Digital Signatures: PGP also allows you to digitally sign messages using your private key. Others can verify this signature using your public key, confirming the message came from you and hasn't been altered.

Common Uses of PGP

• Secure Email: Protecting the contents of emails from unauthorized access
• File Encryption: Securing sensitive files before storing or sharing them
• Authentication: Verifying the identity of the sender of a message or file
• Digital Signatures: Proving the authenticity and integrity of documents
• Whistleblower Protection: Providing secure communication channels for sensitive information

With PGP Online, you can easily generate PGP keys, encrypt and decrypt messages, and sign and verify messages - all within your browser, with no data sent to any server. This ensures maximum privacy and security for your sensitive communications.
