Description

iPGMail is an app that implements 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.

It works

kosakian on

United Kingdom

Tried Canary mail, which got pleasant UI, but was useless for PGP. This one is strictly business. I like it.

Very good

COSM1C on

But one problem iv in countered is In body copy then import in app!! Import pgp on clipboard !! Yep! Then, ALERT!! DECRYPTING KEY NOT FOUND ???? PGP MESSAGE IN EMAIL BODY Copy the entire PGP message, from the “—– BEGIN” through the “END —–” lines to the clipboard. To do this, hold your finger on the message until the “copy” button appears, then adjust the beginning and end of the highlighted section to cover the entire message, then press the “Copy” button. Switch to iPGMail Select the “Decode” tab Press the “Import” button (upper left) to import content from the system clipboard. This should then attempt to decrypt and display your message. THE ENTIRE PGP MESSAGE, FROM THE “—– BEGIN” THROUGH THE “END —–” LINES TO THE CLIPBOARD. TO DO THIS, HOLD YOUR FINGER ON THE MESSAGE UNTIL THE “COPY” BUTTON APPEARS, THEN ADJUST THE BEGINNING AND END OF THE HIGHLIGHTED SECTION TO COVER THE ENTIRE MESSAGE, THEN PRESS THE “COPY” BUTTON. Switch to iPGMail Select the “Decode” tab Press the “Import” button (upper left) to import content from the system clipboard. This should then attempt to decrypt and display your message. SORTED, IT ABSOLUTELY BANGING APPRESPECT

Won’t open

Crashes every time I try and open the app. Worked fine for 10 mins and now won’t open. Tried to re-install, same thing.

Pretty damn good

Does everything, works fine

Good but...

DISTKAUW on

United Kingdom

Good but... 1. Awkward to import a key from ‘Files’ section - forced to share it to another app, copy it, then paste it into ‘Keys’ 2. No option in settings to prevent it always saving unencrypted files locally, after decryption

Very good - had a problem with key server lookup

Mhmedia on

It's been a while since I used iPGmail on an older ipad and it worked fine on my new ipad 2018. I was really pleased that it handled 4K keys without a problem. Key creation is quick and problem-free. The only thing stopping me giving it 5 stars is the menu to add key servers: it insists on making everything HTTPS, whereas there are still some servers out there that aren't. If it could accept server URLs as typed then that would be great!

Indispensable

Namosa2 on

Love this app, and use it everyday to decrypt my files. Please keep it up!

Love it! :D. GET IT!!!

Mr Mole on

This is a cool app that interfaces brilliantly with the default email client to send/read encrypted PGP messages. Note: You can save your key for seven days, so just need to log in by code. Tweak settings. - Great!!! You can send your message as a file, then you just hold on it and Copy to iPGMail. Tweak settings... I think the latest version has fixed two minor issues caused by iOS... :)

Random Reset

TommoRobbo on

United Kingdom

Started using this today, created a new key pair and subsequently used it as a form of two factor authentication for a BTC trading site. The site encodes a phrase with your public key and then you decrypt it with your private key to retrieve the phrase and input that on the site to gain access. This was working for a couple of hours with no issues. In fact very well, automatically decrypting the PGP message in my clipboard. That was however until 5 minutes ago when I opened the app and found that my key pair has gone. Restarted the app, no change. Hard reset the phone, no change. I'm now locked out of my account on the trading site wth hundreds of £s of BTC. They won't reset the account for security reasons. In hindsight I should have backed up the key but in reality it shouldn't be so unreliable. Very unhappy.

Key updates

Nice app, but could do with functionality to update public keys without having to remove them and re-add.
