The Symantec PGP Software Development Kit (SDK), written in C, provides developers the functionality to add PGP cryptographic technology to their own C or C++ software applications. The SDK lets you easily develop, maintain, and use PGP cryptographic components in your application, providing yourself and your customers with the confidence that comes from using the trusted and peer-reviewed PGP technology in your products.
The SDK includes a wide range of field-tested and standards-based encryption, digital signature, and encoding algorithms as well as a variety of secure network protocol implementations. The SDK offers developers the same core crypto that is at the heart of other PGP encryption products. Core operations provided by the SDK include the functions to:
- Access, generate, and save keypairs that are located on local files, network files, SmartCards, tokens, or (in Windows applications) Microsoft CryptoAPI (CAPI)
- Obtain an intended recipient’s public key for a message (email)
- Generate a digital signature (sign a message) with the user’s key
- Verify a received digital signature with the sender’s key
- Encrypt a message for an intended recipient with the recipient’s public key
- Decrypt a received message with the recipient’s private key
- Generate and accumulate entropy
- Create an archived file or directory
- Use symmetric keys for encryption
- Add X.509 attributes to a key, creating a certificate signature request (CSR) for a key, importing a CSR response into a key, and revoking certificates
- Obtain the revocation status of X.509 digital certificates
- Create shares for key passphrase reconstruction.
