Install

npm --save install react-native-pgp
react-native link react-native-openpgp

Note: Run npm install -g rnpm if you haven't installed RNPM (React-Native Package Manager) yet! Alternatively you can add the Android and iOS modules library by following the official guide.

Usage

import { NativeModules } from 'react-native';
const RNPGP = NativeModules.ReactNativePGP;

Example

Generating Key-Pair

const userName = 'myUsername';
const keyBits = 4096;
const keyPassword = 'mySuperSecretPassword';

const keyPair = await RNPGP.generateKeyPair(userName, keyBits, keyPassword);
// Returns an object with privateKey and publicKey in ASCII Armored Format
console.log(keyPair.privateKey);
console.log(keyPair.publicKey);

Signing data

const privateKey = `
-----BEGIN PGP PRIVATE KEY BLOCK-----
...
-----END PGP PRIVATE KEY BLOCK-----`;

const privateKeyPassword = 'mySuperSecretPassword';
const dataToSign = 'I signed this, no one else!';

const signed = await RNPGP.signData(privateKey, privateKeyPassword, dataToSign);
// Returns an object with asciiArmoredSignature, fingerPrint and hashingAlgo

console.log(signed.asciiArmoredSignature); // "-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- ... -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----"

Methods

• generateKeyPair(userName, keyBits, keyPassword) - Generates a public/private keyPair and encrypts the private key with specified password.
• signData(asciiArmoredPrivateKey, privateKeyPassword, dataToSign) - Signs the data using the private key
• setHashingAlgo(hashingAlgo) - Sets the hashing algorithm (check the Constants)
