Add PGP-compatible OpenPGP functions to your Windows or Linux application
PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is usually used to sign, encrypt and compress files and text. Also PGP can be used to sign and encrypt internet mail. PGP has its own key management structure and recent implementations also can use X.509 certificates to hold the keys. PGP evolved into an open standard (OpenPGP).
OpenPGPBlackbox (VCL edition, part of SecureBlackbox software product) is a collection of native Delphi components for OpenPGP support in your Delphi / C++Builder / Kylix applications.
Main features
- compatibility with all popular PGP-based applications and libraries which are currently available on the market
;
- support for Public Key Infrastructure (PKI, X.509 certificates, certificate requests and CRLs) including use of X.509 certificates
;
- no dependencies on third-party libraries
;
- synchronous and asynchronous operation modes
;
- support for Cryptocards and USB Crypto Tokens
;
- royalty-free license
;
- free individual technical support
OpenPGPBlackbox can be used separately or in one cost-saving SecureBlackbox package. You can use SecureBlackbox with Delphi 4 to Delphi 2005 or Borland Developer Studio 2006 (Delphi and C++Builder personalities) or Delphi 2007, C++Builder 2007, CodeGear RAD Studio 2007 (Delphi and C++Builder personalities), Kylix 3 or FreePascal for Win32 and for Linux / x86.

Compression gives an additional level of security and lets you increase transfer speed significantly and reduce the network load and storage space requirements. Synchronous operation mode gives you a linear programming approach without complicated callback functions. This approach saves your development time and reduces the number of errors.Asynchronous operation mode, on the other hand, gives you flexibility and complete control over your application communications.
Synchronous operation mode gives you a linear programming approach without complicated callback functions. This approach saves your development time and reduces the number of errors. Simple SecureBlackbox components can be used for reliable data transfer no matter what type of proxy or firewall is used to protect the network. You can process huge files and not be bound by restrictions of 32-bit environments. This feature works on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems without any limitations. Cryptographic hardware gains more and more popularity every day. If your software deals with X.509 certificates or PKI in general (RSA keys etc.), it is time to support cryptocards and USB tokens. SecureBlackbox was written from the ground up by EldoS Corporation developers. It doesn't use third-party code to implement its cryptographic functions. This means that you are not bound by CryptoAPI or OpenSSL version when you need to use certain algorithm.At the same time it's possible to plug third-party security libraries and hardware modules by utilizing the pluggable architecture of SecureBlackbox. No royalties means the licensing procedure which is clear and easy to understand and manage. Pay for the license once and use it for development and deployment with no other payments. We provide free technical support via web-based Forum and HelpDesk. Support is available for everyone, and the requests from clients who purchased a license are given priority. Also you can use our extensive knowledgebase. With OpenPGPBlackbox you can be sure that you can exchange data with any OpenPGP-compatible implementation that the other party uses. PGP 9 introduced the feature of placing multiple files into one encrypted or signed PGP file. This is done by placing all files to TAR archive and then encrypting or signing this TAR archive.
OpenPGPBlackbox can create such files itself and it is also capable of processing the PGP files with multiple files inside.
Stream-based processing lets you process really huge files and not be bound by restrictions of 32-bit environments. This feature works on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems without any limitations. OpenPGPBlackbox goes several steps beyond the current standard. We support the features, offered by the latest drafts of OpenPGP specification. OpenPGPBlackbox supports the keys of any length, used in modern computing. If you need more strength, you can generate and use 4096-bit keys without problems. With the wide choice of encryption, authentication and digital signature algorithms supported by OpenPGGPBlackbox, you will be able to meet the security requirements and get compatibility with the wide choice of differently configured software. Originally PGP infrastructure was built as a distributed alternative to PKI. OpenPGPBlackbox takes the best of two worlds and offers you the ways to use both PGP and PKI depending on your needs. You can even combine them together by using X.509 certificates for OpenPGP ioerations. With SecureBlackbox you can create, manage and convert OpenPGP keys without the need for external key management software. OpenPGPBlackbox package includes functions that let you generate and manage OpenPGP keys and keyrings. Using these functions you can build your own PGP key management applications.
