Welcome to the gpg4usb-Project!
gpg4usb is a very easy to use and small portable editor to encrypt and decrypt any text-message or -file
you want.
Our aim is, to give anyone the possibility to send and receive secure encrypted messages anywhere -
on any computer out there, no matter if Microsoft Windows(TM) or Linux is running on it.
Therefore it's usage is self-describing, and the user-interface as simple as possible.
gpg4usb is free software, and it is licensed under the
GNU General Public License (GPL).
If you want to give it a try, please visit our download-section, get the files and
unzip it onto your usb-pendrive... et voilà: you're done and ready to go!
News
03/02/2010: Encodings, charsets and Шифрование: We rounded up a new release,
repaired bugs dealing with non ascii encodings and also bring you a new translation. Thanks to Kirill
you are now able to use gpg4usb with a russian interface. Furthermore you are now able to view key-properties and export private keys.
Added features in version 0.2.2:
- Added key-property-dialog in key management
- Added export of private key
- Added russian translation
- Added warn message for key deletion
Additionally the following bugs were fixed in version 0.2.2:
- Fixed the keydb not found error, when umlauts, cyrillic and other special characters are in the pathname.
- Set minimum keysize to 768 Bit (required by gnupg for el-gamal subkey)
- Keysize-Bug fixed. Now when generating a key, the key has correct size
NOTE: When you created a key with an earlier version of gpg4usb, you should be aware, that it may only has a keysize of 1024 Bit. You can check this with the key-property dialog.
Many thanks to the bugreporters. Special thanks go to Kirill for russian translation and lots of testing on russian Windows.
14/01/2010: Another bugfix-release. Changed in version 0.2.1:
- UTF-8 en-/decryption works (solving text encoding problems e.g. in cyrillic)
- Bug in file encryption on Windows resolved
Many thanks to the bugreporters. Special thanks go to Fabian for fixing the fileencryption bug.
08/10/2009: gpg4usb, your portable application for gpg encryption is still alive! Version 0.2 is out, featuring:
- Keymanagement
- Key-Generation
- File encryption/decryption
and lots of bug fixes and smaller improvements. Download now!
17/12/2008: We realized that as a side effect of building linux version with glibc < 2.4, gpg4usb also runs on 2.4 kernels, as used in small linux-distris, like damn-small-linux. We only had to include a new built gpg-binary for linux. Get the new version from the download section. Windows executable inlcuded as always.
15/12/2008: A new release! gpg4usb v.0.1.1 is out, a release with minor modifications from our stable branch. Get it from our download section. New in this version:
- keylist is a table now, so being sortable by email or name
- prevent "No Data" error, that occured on decryption in some cases
- linux build now done on debian release from 2005 (sarge), so any newer linux distribution should be supported (glibc >= 2.3.2)
23/08/2008: After a hint from Yucca from the portablefreeware forum we also provide a upx-packed build, which brings the size of the unzipped program down to 9mb. Its available from our download section.
12/08/2008: Updated zipfile, 2 more libs added in linux-version, that may be missing on some systems - Download
10/08/2008: Initial Release v0.1
