A pure JavaScript single-page application designed to encrypt and decrypt PGP ASCII-armored messages directly within the browser.
Many PGP programs are tightly integrated with email clients, limiting users to specific mail clients for managing PGP messages. PGPWeb, however, is a standalone webpage solely focused on encrypting and decrypting PGP messages. It does not handle email functionalities. Users can easily copy and paste messages between their preferred mail client (or any other program) and PGPWeb.
Simply double click on pgpweb.html, copy and paste your PGP credentials (which are stored locally and never leave your device), then either encrypt a message using a recipient's public key or decrypt a message intended for you using your registered PGP private key.
PGPWeb exclusively accepts ASCII-armored PGP keys. Here's an example of a public key:
-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
PGPWeb exclusively handles ASCII-armored PGP messages, using the same format as the keys.
PGPWeb securely stores public and private PGP keys in the local storage area of the browser, ensuring keys never leave the device. The private key passphrase is not stored and must be entered manually when decrypting a PGP message.
