GpgFrontend is an Easy-to-Use, Compact, Cross-Platform, and Installation-Free [OpenPGP](https://www.openpgp.org/)
|
||
Frontend Tool.
|
||
|
||
By using GpgFrontend, you can quickly **encrypt and decrypt text or files**. Or at the same time as the above
|
||
operations, you can add **your own signature** to let others know that this document or this paragraph of text was
|
||
issued by you. It aims to allow ordinary users to quickly use gpg and make professional users more convenient.
|
||
GpgFrontend supports new features of OpenPGP.
|
||
|
||
**Notice:** GpgFrontend does not provide an embedded [gnupg](https://gnupg.org/) binary library and needs to be
|
||
installed by the user. **This is to ensure safety and avoid code or binary files being implanted in the backdoor during
|
||
the delivery process.**

|
||
|
||
## Purpose
|
||
|
||
The GpgFrontend project inherit from a relatively mature but not maintained [gpg4usb](https://www.gpg4usb.org/) project.
|
||
It inherits the stable, easy-to-use, compact, and installation-free features of gpg4usb, and plans to support some new
|
||
features of OpenPGP based on it and continue to improve it.
|
||
|
||
GpgFrontend will add more functions in the future to improve the ease of use of GPG in end-to-end transmission. At the
|
||
same time, the addition of new functions does not affect the old basic functions. My personal strength is always
|
||
limited. GpgFrontend welcomes volunteers to join. You can use the GitHub platform to file an issue, or submit a pull
|
||
request.
|
||
|
||
The GpgFrontend project is as open source, and it also insists on using open source codes and libraries.
|
||
|
||
## Build

||
|
||
The tutorial for building the software will be released shortly.
