Summary: Pure-Perl OpenPGP-compatible PGP implementation
Description:
*Crypt::OpenPGP* is a pure-Perl implementation of the OpenPGP standard[1]. In addition to support for the standard itself, *Crypt::OpenPGP* claims compatibility with many other PGP implementations, both those that support the standard and those that preceded it. *Crypt::OpenPGP* provides signing/verification, encryption/decryption, keyring management, and key-pair generation; in short it should provide you with everything you need to PGP-enable yourself. Alternatively it can be used as part of a larger system; for example, perhaps you have a web-form-to-email generator written in Perl, and you'd like to encrypt outgoing messages, because they contain sensitive information. *Crypt::OpenPGP* can be plugged into such a scenario, given your public key, and told to encrypt all messages; they will then be readable only by you. This module currently supports "RSA" and "DSA" for digital signatures, and "RSA" and "ElGamal" for encryption/decryption. It supports the symmetric ciphers "3DES", "Blowfish", "IDEA", "Twofish", "CAST5", and "Rijndael" ("AES"). "Rijndael" is supported for key sizes of 128, 192, and 256 bits. *Crypt::OpenPGP* supports the digest algorithms "MD5", "SHA-1", and "RIPE-MD/160". And it supports "ZIP" and "Zlib" compression.
