PGP Key Manager Terminal User Interface 🔑

PGPManager

PGPmanager is a Terminal User Interface (TUI) designed to facilitate and manage the process of PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) key management.

The primary purpose of PGPmanager is to provide an intuitive and interactive interface for users to perform various PGP key operations, such as:

• generating key pairs
• exporting and importing certificates
• editing passwords and expiration times
• revoking keys
• and more

The application serves as a bridge between the user and the underlying functionality provided by the Sequoia-OpenPGP crate, a powerful library for PGP key management in Rust.

Releases

PGPManager is currently in its Alpha stage.

Release Notes

This tool was developed as part of a bachelor thesis and my first project written in Rust, leveraging PGP. As such, it may have security flaws, bugs or contain boilerplate code. Reviews, critiques, and contributions are highly appreciated.

I plan to release stable versions on popular package managers like Cargo, Homebrew, and others in the near future. Stay tuned for updates!
