OpenPGP.JS

Abstract

This project aims to provide an Open Source OpenPGP library in JavaScript so it can be used on virtually every device. Instead of other plugins that are aimed at using e.g. NPAPI (meaning they are intended to run native code), OpenPGP.js is meant to bypass this requirement (people will not have to install gpg on their machines in order to use the software). The idea is to implement all the needed OpenPGP functionality in a JavaScript library and to reuse it in other projects. It should allow you to sign, encrypt, decrypt, and verify any kind of text - in particular e-mails - as well as managing keys.
