org.bouncycastle.openpgp.api.OpenPGPMessageGenerator

public class OpenPGPMessageGenerator
extends AbstractOpenPGPDocumentSignatureGenerator<OpenPGPMessageGenerator>

Generator for OpenPGP messages. This class can generate armored/unarmored, encrypted and/or signed OpenPGP message artifacts. By default, the generator will merely pack plaintext into an armored LiteralDataPacket. If however, the user provides one or more recipient certificates/keys (addEncryptionCertificate(OpenPGPCertificate) / addEncryptionCertificate(OpenPGPCertificate.OpenPGPComponentKey)) or message passphrases addEncryptionPassphrase(char[]), the message will be encrypted. The encryption mechanism is automatically decided, based on the provided recipient certificates, aiming to maximize interoperability. If the user provides one or more signing keys by calling AbstractOpenPGPDocumentSignatureGenerator.addSigningKey(OpenPGPKey) or AbstractOpenPGPDocumentSignatureGenerator.addSigningKey(OpenPGPKey.OpenPGPSecretKey, KeyPassphraseProvider, SignatureParameters.Callback), the message will be signed.

Method Details

addEncryptionCertificate

public OpenPGPMessageGenerator addEncryptionCertificate(OpenPGPCertificate recipientCertificate)
                                                 throws InvalidEncryptionKeyException

Add a recipients certificate to the set of encryption keys. Subkeys will be selected using the default SubkeySelector, which can be replaced by calling setEncryptionKeySelector(SubkeySelector). The recipient will be able to decrypt the message using their corresponding secret key.

Parameters:

recipientCertificate - recipient certificate (public key)

Returns:

this

Throws:

InvalidEncryptionKeyException

addEncryptionCertificate

public OpenPGPMessageGenerator addEncryptionCertificate(OpenPGPCertificate recipientCertificate,
 SubkeySelector subkeySelector)
                                                 throws InvalidEncryptionKeyException

Add a recipients certificate to the set of encryption keys. Subkeys will be selected using the provided SubkeySelector. The recipient will be able to decrypt the message using their corresponding secret key.

Parameters:

recipientCertificate - recipient certificate (public key)

subkeySelector - selector for encryption subkeys

Returns:

this

Throws:

InvalidEncryptionKeyException - if the certificate is not capable of encryption

addEncryptionCertificate

public OpenPGPMessageGenerator addEncryptionCertificate(OpenPGPCertificate.OpenPGPComponentKey encryptionKey)
                                                 throws InvalidEncryptionKeyException

Add a (sub-)key to the set of recipient encryption keys. The recipient will be able to decrypt the message using their corresponding secret key.

Parameters:

encryptionKey - encryption capable subkey

Returns:

this

Throws:

InvalidEncryptionKeyException - if the key is not capable of encryption

addEncryptionPassphrase

public OpenPGPMessageGenerator addEncryptionPassphrase(char[] passphrase)

Add a message passphrase. In addition to optional public key encryption, the message will be decryptable using the given passphrase.

Parameters:

passphrase - passphrase

Returns:

this

setArmored

public OpenPGPMessageGenerator setArmored(boolean armored)

Specify, whether the output OpenPGP message will be ASCII armored or not.

Parameters:

armored - boolean

Returns:

this

setSessionKeyExtractionCallback

public OpenPGPMessageGenerator setSessionKeyExtractionCallback(PGPEncryptedDataGenerator.SessionKeyExtractionCallback callback)
