iPGMail

PGP encryption made easy!

Published by: Wyllys Ingersoll

Description

iPGMail makes PGP encryption easy for iOS users. It offers an intuitive interface that enables users to easily send and receive private PGP encrypted messages via email. The app also allows you to encrypt and decrypt files both locally or cloud based.
It supports the OpenPGP standard (RFC 9580, RFC 6637) and allows the user to create and manage both public and private (RSA, DSA, ECDSA, EDDSA, ECDH) PGP keys and send and receive PGP encrypted messages.
PGP Keys and Messages can be passed to iPGMail several ways:
* From the iOS Mail.app - The iOS mail application will pass PGP attachments to iPGMail directly, eliminating the need to do an awkward copy-and-paste. NOTE: PGP messages that are part of the main body of an email will still have to be copy-and-pasted, only properly tagged attachments can be passed automatically.
* Directly from the system clipboard. Copy-and-paste the PGP message text from any file, webpage, or message, and it can be imported and decrypted by the app.
* Finder App - Connect your device to a Mac and open up the standard Finder app. Select the device on the left and then you can copy files to and from the app using standard Finder actions.
* AirDrop - Transfer key files from your Mac OS/X system (10.10 or later) to your iPhone/iPad (iOS 7+) using AirDrop feature.
* DropBox - You can link iPGMail to a dropbox account and transfer files to and from your dropbox file space. This means you can encrypt and protect your dropbox files or share files with others through your existing dropbox Public interface.
* Keybase.IO - You can import public keys from http://keybase.io by using the "+" button on the public key listing and then searching for users registered in keybase.io.
iPGMail now allows you to easily reply to encrypted text-based messages and includes the original text with "> " prefixed to the lines. This allows for more email like conversational exchanges, all with strong OpenPGP cryptographic protection.
iPGMail supports PGP key generation or import. The key database is secured using the highest level of iOS file protection and are only accessible when in use by the app. Using your own private PGP keys, you can encrypt and/or digitally sign any messages. Optionally, your public key can be attached to any message you send from the app so that the recipient can then import it into their own keychain, either on the phone or on any computer with PGP support.
iPGMail will import your private keys so you can reuse your existing PGP identity and keys on your iPhone or iPad. Both public and private keys can be imported through the interfaces listed above.
iPGMail allows the user to search public SKS PGP keyservers to find registered public keys for other people with whom the user can then send email that is digitally signed and/or encrypted encoded in OpenPGP ASCII Armor.
This app is ideal for securing your files or for sending secure email messages to specific parties without worrying about it being viewed by anyone other than the designated recipient.
The OpenPGP standard is described here:

Charged me twice for an app I’m not using

Shizuoka1 on

Canada

Keeps charging me for an app I’m not using / deleted with no way to stop it

Best Value by far

RaphaelNadeau on

Canada

I have not tested every app out there, but from the one app I have tested this is the best valued one by far

Comfortable and all I need.

matt.davidson1 on

Canada

Although the interface isn't friendly to newcomers, this has been my goto PGP mobile encryption app. I always recommend to friends.

Encryption for the masses!

ninja.pigeon on

Canada

Does what it says, similar to openPGP, but it also supports keybase.io!

Needs work

TALKCalgary.com on

Canada

Without a way to import private keys this app is next to useless. If and when however they sort that problem out it would be a 5 star app!

Public Keys

RadicalPumpkin on

Canada

I give it a 3. I would give it a five if it allowed pasting a public key into the keyring (as it once did).

L’envoi de messages à la fois cryptés et signés n’a pas fonctionné pour moi

1er_octobre on

Canada

Après plusieurs tentatives en utilisant les réglages iOS par défaut ainsi que divers serveurs SMTP, je n’ai pas réussi à transmettre un courriel crypté et signé. J’ai pu envoyer un courriel signé seulement. Je n’ai pas essayé d’envoyer un courriel crypté seulement. L’interface pour la rédaction des courriels est peu attrayante.

Secure mail

bligh on

This app works great to secure messages. Would love to see 1password support to make entering my passphrase easier, but hey, it works!!

Mail? Only sortof

EveryoneKnows on

Canada

This app does everything it says it does, but it is a fairly inelegant solution to email cryptography. It relies a lot on copy-pasting stuff between mail.app and it. Gets the job done for a cheap price, but it sets back the cause of email crypto by making it a way-too-many stepped process.

Doesn't work

CoolAccent on

Canada

Buggy. Can't get this to work.
