[Feature request] GPG support?

[vatterspun]

I don't know if this is high priority or out of scope but I generally save my encrypted notepad material using GPG so I can save and open encrypted text on multiple devices, since that format has fairly broad support.

Yes, nice idea, I'll see what i can do.

:) Great, thanks

One additional note: if adding GPG functionality is too complex (the key system can get a little tedious), it might be simpler to implement a 7zip file save scheme. That program has open command-line tools that could run for both compression and encryption. The files created would also be widely accessible (and it's more popular than GPG).

@vatterspun
Can you give me some files for tests? Encrypted with GPG with password to decrypt.

Also how you see GPG/7zip file save scheme implementation in this app? App already have own format with AES encryption, you want add new format?

GPG: it has an existing schema, generating text files like the one below with the file extension .GPG. Here's a bit talking about GPG that might be a starting point.

If you go with 7zip, I would suggest replacing your current format. The reason only reason to go with this as a file save mechanism is for compatibility and compression. It doesn't have superior security.

I can but it's actually a public key-based system; like web traffic encryption, there's a key exchange that creates a secure connection.

So for example, here's my public key and a quick message:

Finally, a clear project ideology was formed. And, unfortunately, the proposed improvements are not included in this ideology. So, this issue is closed.
