I need to apply the pgp encryption to my project,so far i have only found freeware that I can't use in my project because is a user only not developers applications. Does somebody can help me out?

Thank you
 
Thank you much, but I'm looking to encryp files not just words, do you know some link for that, I really appreciate that you reply

thank you
 
I have already download the first one and it's perfect (pgpi.org) but here is the BUT

- it installs the pgpTools.exe or pgpMail (depends on the version), amog others, but in this one has the encrypt,decrypt, make keys and that stuff. The thing is that this Tools or Mail menu the user has to interact.

- what I'm looking for is to use it automatically in my application, no user interaction

- I notice that it also instals a small menu on the right-click windows start menu, to encryp,decrypt,etc files, this part will be perfect to use, but I cannot find where is it calling from so I can call this menu from my project.

I hope I did not mess you up

thanks for answering
 
PGP Corporation (the desktop PGP people, not the enterprise PGP people) sells an interface DLL that you can call from your program to do encryption/decryption. But since it's a C/C++ DLL, you will need to write your own wrapper layer to call it from VB.

Ahh, he's updated it.

I wasn't able to use his code back when I wrote mine, as the source wasn't available, and the company had liability issues with using security freeware that the company depended on for their business.

Thanks for the link.

nkyeshi01, this is your (and mine) lucky day! I was also on the search for a PGP control for VB ... and found one ... FREE too.
One has to have a PGP already installed (so necessary DLLs will be in place) but everything else could be called right from VB (I've tried it, works like a charm). here is the link:
