#PGPainless is the core library of the ecosystem, additionally providing a CLI tool (pgpainless-cli).
The 2.0.0 release brought OpenPGP v6 support and integrates #bouncycastle 1.82.
#PGPainless Ecosystem Release Marathon
✅ PGPainless 2.0.0
✅ SOP-Java 14.0.1
✅ Cert-D-Java 0.2.3
✅ Cert-D-PGPainless 0.2.3
✅ WKD-Java 0.1.3
✅ VKS-Java 0.1.4
I just released #PGPainless 2.0!
The new release comes with support for #OpenPGP v6 (#rfc9580) leveraging #BouncyCastle|s new high-level OpenPGP API internally.
The API saw substantial changes compared to the 1.7 release line. Among others, it migrated away from the singleton pattern towards configurable API instances.
You can download the (Linux_x86_64) native CLI binary binary here: https://github.com/pgpainless/pgpainless/releases/tag/2.0.0
I just noticed, that on its website @debian lists #pgpainless as an alternative to GnuPG for verifying integrity of its release ISOs :)
Towards OpenPGP v6 in PGPainless
I’m very excited to announce the results of what I have been working on for the past 1,5 years. *drumrolls*
I added support for OpenPGP v6 (rfc9580) in both Bouncy Castle and PGPainless! In this blog post, I want to go over the work in more details.

A free, light and easy to use PGP tool. Helps you to generate PGP key pairs with custom params, encrypt and decrypt messages. This user-friendly tool is based on OpenPGP.js, a project which aims to provide an Open Source OpenPGP library in JavaScript.

PGPainless meets the Web-of-Trust
We are very proud to announce the release of PGPainless-WOT, an implementation of the OpenPGP Web of Trust specification using PGPainless.
Big thanks to Heiko for his valuable contributions and the great boost in motivation working together gave me 🙂
Also big thanks to NLnet for sponsoring this project in such a flexible way.
Lastly, thanks to Wiktor for his talent to connect people 😀

Creating an OpenPGP Web-of-Trust Implementation – Knitting a Net
I imagine the Web-of-Trust as an old, half-rotten fishing net (bear with me); There are knobbly knots, which may or may not be connected to neighboring knots through yarn of different thickness. Some knots are well-connected with others, as ye olde fisherman did some repair work on the net, while other knots or even whole sections of the net have no intact connections left to the rest. Many connections rotted away as the yarn past its expiration date.

Use Any SOP Binary With SOP-Java and External-SOP
I just released another library named external-sop, which implements sop-java and allows the user to use any SOP CLI application of their choice from within their Java / Kotlin application!
