Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) is a data encryption and decryption computer program that provides cryptographic privacy and authentication for data communication. PGP is often used for signing, encrypting, and decrypting texts, e-mails, files, directories, and whole disk partitions and to increase the security of e-mail communications. It was created by Phil Zimmermann in 1991. PGP and similar software follow the OpenPGP standard (RFC 4880) for encrypting and decrypting data. Source: Wikipedia
This site only provides a simple and easy-to-use tool for people to generate PGP keys with. Today, the common methods for generating keys still involve going to a command prompt of a Linux/Unix machine and using the GPG utility, or installing a PGP compatible application on your desktop. I wanted to provide an easier way to generate keys. None of this would be possible without the awesome Open Source software I'm utilizing. I'm using KeyBase's awesome JavaScript implementation of PGP (kbpgp). For file saving capabilities I am utilizing Eli Grey's wonderful FileSaver.js interface.
