GnuPG Functions

Notes

This extension makes use of the keyring of the current user. This keyring is normally located in ~/.gnupg/. To specify a custom location, store the path to the keyring in the environment variable GNUPGHOME. See putenv for more information how to do this.

Some functions require the specification of a key. This specification can be anything that refers to a unique key (userid, key-id, fingerprint, ...). This documentation uses the fingerprint in all examples.

Note:
As alternative to the explicitly documented functions using resources, you can also use an object-oriented style using gnupg objects.

gnupg_adddecryptkey — Add a key for decryption
gnupg_addencryptkey — Add a key for encryption

gnupg_cleardecryptkeys — Removes all keys which were set for decryption before
gnupg_clearencryptkeys — Removes all keys which were set for encryption before
gnupg_clearsignkeys — Removes all keys which were set for signing before
gnupg_decrypt — Decrypts a given text
gnupg_decryptverify — Decrypts and verifies a given text
