PocketConsole v1.3

Pocket GnuPG

Pocket GnuPG is the PocketConsole port of the well known Gnu Privacy Guard , an OpenPGP implementation for Unix.

Pocket GnuPG uses Poetry as random number generator.

WARNING: As Poetry is in alpha development state, this implies that Pocket GnuPG is also considered alpha. Using Pocket GnuPG for cryptographic purposes is at your own risk.
