  • 1.  Can I decrypt PGP from the command line using PPG desktop

    Posted Apr 12, 2013 04:47 PM

    I'd like to be able to decrypt a PGP file into a text file using the command line. I realize there's the PGP Command line utility which is probably the best solution, but is there anyway to achieve this with pgp desktop? Possibly using ppgwde?

    I read through it but i only see options to decrypt entire partitions. I want t decrypt a single file someone sent me, using a private key and passphrase i was provided with. I'd like to have it output to a file.

    No, PGP Desktop does not include a command line tool that can decrypt PGP files.

    Does the Symantec (PGP) Encryption Desktop 10.3 version come with a .dll  I can reference in C# code for a custom service that will encrypt/decrypt individual files?

     

    thanks.

    Symantec PGP products use the PGP SDK for encryption.  Depending on your use case, you may be permitted to utilize the PGP SDK:

    https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/downloads/symantec-pgp-software-development-kit-sdk

    If your use case falls outside what is permitted, you will need to get a different license from Symantec.  In that case, I can put you in contact with the Product Manager for the PGP SDK.

    There is no C# interface to the PGP SDK.
