It uses the shared memory coprocess interface that gpg provides for its wrappers. It tries its best to map the interactive interface of the gpg to a more programmatic model. =head1 API OVERVIEW The API is accessed through methods on a GnuPG object which is a wrapper around the B<gpg> program. All methods take their argument using named parameters, and errors are returned by throwing an exception (using croak). If you want to catch errors you will have to use eval. When handed in a file handle for input or output parameters on many of the functions, the API attempts to tie that handle to STDIN and STDOUT. In certain persistent environments (particularly a web environment), this will not work. This problem can be avoided by passing in file names to all relevant parameters rather than a Perl file handle. There is also a tied file handle interface which you may find more convenient for encryption and decryption. See GnuPG::Tie(3) for details. =head1 CONSTRUCTOR =head2 new ( [params] ) You create a new GnuPG wrapper object by invoking its new method. (How original !). The module will try to finds the B<gpg> program in your path and will croak if it can't find it. Here are the parameters that it accepts : =over =item gnupg_path Path to the B<gpg> program. =item options Path to the options file for B<gpg>. If not specified, it will use the default one (usually F<~/.gnupg/options>). =item homedir Path to the B<gpg> home directory. This is the directory that contains the default F<options> file, the public and private key rings as well as the trust database. =item trace If this variable is set to true, B<gpg> debugging output will be sent to stderr. =back Example: my $gpg = new GnuPG(); =head1 METHODS =head2 gen_key( [params] ) This methods is used to create a new gpg key pair. The methods croaks if there is an error. It is a good idea to press random keys on the keyboard while running this methods because it consumes a lot of entropy from the computer. Here are the parameters it accepts : =over =item algo This is the algorithm use to create the key. Can be I<DSA_ELGAMAL>, I<DSA>, I<RSA_RSA> or I<RSA>. It defaults to I<DSA_ELGAMAL>. To import those constant in your name space, use the I<:algo> tag. =item size The size of the public key. Defaults to 1024. Cannot be less than 768 bits, and keys longer than 2048 are also discouraged. (You *DO* know that your monitor may be leaking sensitive information ;-). =item valid How long the key is valid. Defaults to 0 or never expire. =item name This is the only mandatory argument. This is the name that will used to construct the user id. =item email Optional email portion of the user id. =item comment Optional comment portion of the user id. =item passphrase The passphrase that will be used to encrypt the private key. Optional but strongly recommended. =back Example: $gpg->gen_key( algo => DSA_ELGAMAL, size => 1024, name => "My name" ); =head2 import_keys( [params] ) Import keys into the GnuPG private or public keyring. The method croaks if it encounters an error. It returns the number of keys imported. Parameters : =over =item keys Only parameter and mandatory. It can either be a filename or a reference to an array containing a list of files that will be imported. =back Example: $gpg->import_keys( keys => [ qw( key.pub key.sec ) ] ); =head2 export_keys( [params] ) Exports keys from the GnuPG keyrings. The method croaks if it encounters an error. Parameters : =over =item keys Optional argument that restricts the keys that will be exported. Can either be a user id or a reference to an array of userid that specifies the keys to be exported. If left unspecified, all keys will be exported. =item secret If this argument is to true, the secret keys rather than the public ones will be exported. =item all If this argument is set to true, all keys (even those that aren't OpenPGP compliant) will be exported. =item output This argument specifies where the keys will be exported. Can be either a file name or a reference to a file handle. If not specified, the keys will be exported to stdout. =item armor Set this parameter to true, if you want the exported keys to be ASCII armored. =back Example: $gpg->export_keys( armor => 1, output => "keyring.pub" ); =head2 encrypt( [params] ) This method is used to encrypt a message, either using assymetric or symmetric cryptography. The methods croaks if an error is encountered. Parameters: =over =item plaintext This argument specifies what to encrypt. It can be either a filename or a reference to a file handle. If left unspecified, STDIN will be encrypted. =item output This optional argument specifies where the ciphertext will be output. It can be either a file name or a reference to a file handle. If left unspecified, the ciphertext will be sent to STDOUT. =item armor If this parameter is set to true, the ciphertext will be ASCII armored. =item symmetric If this parameter is set to true, symmetric cryptography will be used to encrypt the message. You will need to provide a I<passphrase> parameter. =item recipient If not using symmetric cryptography, you will have to provide this parameter. It should contains the userid of the intended recipient of the message. It will be used to look up the key to use to encrypt the message. The parameter can also take an array ref, if you want to encrypt the message for a group of recipients. =item sign If this parameter is set to true, the message will also be signed. You will probably have to use the I<passphrase> parameter to unlock the private key used to sign message. This option is incompatible with the I<symmetric> one. =item local-user This parameter is used to specified the private key that will be used to sign the message. If left unspecified, the default user will be used. This option only makes sense when using the I<sign> option. =item passphrase This parameter contains either the secret passphrase for the symmetric algorithm or the passphrase that should be used to decrypt the private key. =back Example: $gpg->encrypt( plaintext => file.txt, output => "file.gpg", sign => 1, passphrase => $secret ); =head2 sign( [params] ) This method is used create a signature for a file or stream of data. This method croaks on errors. Parameters : =over =item plaintext This argument specifies what to sign. It can be either a filename or a reference to a file handle. If left unspecified, the data read on STDIN will be signed. =item output This optional argument specifies where the signature will be output. It can be either a file name or a reference to a file handle. If left unspecified, the signature will be sent to STDOUT. =item armor If this parameter is set to true, the signature will be ASCII armored. =item passphrase This parameter contains the secret that should be used to decrypt the private key. =item local-user This parameter is used to specified the private key that will be used to make the signature . If left unspecified, the default user will be used. =item detach-sign If set to true, a digest of the data will be signed rather than the whole file. =back Example: $gpg->sign( plaintext => "file.txt", output => "file.txt.asc", armor => 1, ); =head2 clearsign( [params] ) This methods clearsign a message. The output will contains the original message with a signature appended. It takes the same parameters as the B<sign> method. =head2 verify( [params] ) This method verifies a signature against the signed message. The methods croaks if the signature is invalid or an error is encountered. If the signature is valid, it returns an hash with the signature parameters. Here are the method's parameters : =over =item signature If the message and the signature are in the same file (i.e. a clearsigned message), this parameter can be either a file name or a reference to a file handle. If the signature doesn't follows the message, than it must be the name of the file that contains the signature. =item file This is a file name or a reference to an array of file names that contains the signed data. =back When the signature is valid, here are the elements of the hash that is returned by the method : =over =item sigid The signature id. This can be used to protect against replay attack. =item date The data at which the signature has been made. =item timestamp The epoch timestamp of the signature. =item keyid The key id used to make the signature. =item user The userid of the signer. =item fingerprint The fingerprint of the signature. =item trust The trust value of the public key of the signer. Those are values that can be imported in your namespace with the :trust tag. They are (TRUST_UNDEFINED, TRUST_NEVER, TRUST_MARGINAL, TRUST_FULLY, TRUST_ULTIMATE). =back Example : my $sig = $gpg->verify( signature => "file.txt.asc", file => "file.txt" ); =head2 decrypt( [params] ) This method decrypts an encrypted message. It croaks, if there is an error while decrypting the message. If the message was signed, this method also verifies the signature. If decryption is sucessful, the method either returns the valid signature parameters if present, or true. Method parameters : =over =item ciphertext This optional parameter contains either the name of the file containing the ciphertext or a reference to a file handle containing the ciphertext. If not present, STDIN will be decrypted. =item output This optional parameter determines where the plaintext will be stored. It can be either a file name or a reference to a file handle. If left unspecified, the plaintext will be sent to STDOUT. =item symmetric This should be set to true, if the message is encrypted using symmetric cryptography. =item passphrase The passphrase that should be used to decrypt the message (in the case of a message encrypted using a symmetric cipher) or the secret that will unlock the private key that should be used to decrypt the message. =back Example: $gpg->decrypt( ciphertext => "file.gpg", output => "file.txt" passphrase => $secret ); =head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS This module doesn't work (yet) with the v2 branch of GnuPG. =head1 AUTHOR Francis J.
