PGP (Gnupg) for PHP
===================

[](#pgp-gnupg-for-php)

This package replaces PECL php-gnupg package by providing the same funcionality and extending support for GPG 2.

Some methods are still under development, more specifically the ones related to key/message signing and verification.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Installation should be done via composer.

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

If you'd like to test your instance, use composer to install the require-dev packages and run:

```
composer test

```

It can also be linked to a static installation of gnupg, in case your OS is using an outdated version without support for new features, like Elliptic curves. For these tests you can load a default configuration by copying the file `test-configuration-pgp.json-example` to `test-configuration-pgp.json` and adjusting your configuration parameters.
