OpenPGP for application developers

[Posted December 13, 2023 by corbet]

A new book called OpenPGP for application developers has been released under the Creative Commons BY-SA license.

This document is not intended for end-users or implementers of OpenPGP libraries (or other software that directly handles internal OpenPGP data structures).

Instead, this document is focused on the second group, application developers, who use OpenPGP functionality in their software projects. It describes the properties of the OpenPGP system and its uses. It presupposes solid knowledge of software development concepts and of general cryptographic concepts. Thus, this text describes OpenPGP at the “library-level,” teaching concepts that will help software developers get started as a user of any implementation (e.g., OpenPGP.js, Sequoia-PGP).
