-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 APG functions on android remarkably well, with key servers and key generation features. The only thing missing that comes to mind is the WOT side. As long as this is between friends, that becomes relatively unnecessary. Also possible is to just import pre existing keys. Also of interest would be whether sufficient entropy exists on the device to actually generate a secure key, so caveat emptor, so to speak. Both elgamal and rsa keys of up to unspecified sizes can be generated, but the instructions within the app suggest 8192 at least; more than sufficient. As noted in another reply, PGP/mime is not supported. That functionality may be an issue, but given all three of the replies that I've seen to your query (including mine) are inline, that shouldn't be a problem with day to day operations.
Attachments do not have sigs produced for them when emailed, but you can manually encrypt them using the APG app before attaching them to an email. K-9 works well with that app. File compression and message compression are both supported, most if not all of the encryption and hashing algorithms commonly found in gnupg are incorporated, and the app even supports ASCII armoured docs. All in all, an excellent tool. Someone recently forked the APG app, around the same time I was looking at doing the same, since the project has been inactive for nearly two years. His name escapes me, but he also manages the ad-away app. Also, The Guardian Project is porting gnupg. All in all an excellent project, highly recommended. //landon - -------- Original Message -------- From: mercuryris...@hush.ai Sent: Tue Aug 28 19:49:57 EDT 2012 To: Mika Suomalainen <mka...@users.sourceforge.net>, gnupg-users@gnupg.org Subject: Re: Can IPAD or Android Tablets create Keys and use gnupg Thank you both for replying to my question about IPODs and Androids. It sounds like neither will work to be fully functional with gnupg or PGP then. Perhaps I should get a small laptop computer. I wonder if one of those small driveless computers and a USB storage device would work. I need an inexpensive solution for a friend.in Europe. Since Poland and the Ukraine are in the European Union there shouldn't be any problem using PGP for private communication among friends right? I have been using PGP since the 90's as a hobby and believe if privacy is not use it will be lost. I used to chat with Julf at Anon penit fi back then to but not with PGP.
