About OpenKeychain: Easy PGP

OpenKeychain helps you communicate more privately and securely. It uses encryption to ensure that your messages can be read only by the people you send them to, others can send you messages that only you can read, and these messages can be digitally signed so the people getting them are sure who sent them. OpenKeychain is based on the well established OpenPGP standard making encryption compatible across your devices and systems. For a list of compatible software for Windows, Mac OS, and other operating systems consult http://openpgp.org/software/.

Modern encryption is based on digital “keys”. OpenKeychain stores and manages your keys, and those of the people you communicate with, on your Android smartphone. It also helps you find others’ keys online, and exchange keys. But its most frequent use is in using those keys to encrypt and decrypt messages.

★ Integration with other Apps:
• K-9 Mail
• Conversations
• and many more…

★ Open Source: OpenKeychain is designed to be trustworthy. It’s Free Software with no secrets; anyone can examine and validate every bit of it (Source code available at https://github.com/open-keychain/open-keychain)

★ Independent Security Audit: The auditing company Cure53 performed an intensive security audit of OpenKeychain. The security experts summarize their final result with "[...] none of the spotted issues were considered to be of a critical severity in terms of security implications. The latter is a significant and impressive result for an app of this complexity and relevance."

★ Permissions: Because OpenKeychain is Free Software, anyone can validate that the permissions are indeed only required for the listed features.

• Identity: Pre-fill name and email addresses

R70%
by R####:

I like the layout a lot and really wanted it to work but it just won't recognize clipboard copied keys (I tried everything, including other apps... which were successful where this one wasn't) No clipboard decryption, no installation.

H70%
by H####:

Would not decrypt said no valid pgp etc. found, yet it was copied to the clipboard correctly and the encrypted message was with key provided. So far ithe app is useless and frustrating.

V70%
by V####:

Fantastic App! Worked with my YubiKey 4/NEO and K9 Mail on Nexus 5x with no issues. Nice UI considering how horrible most PGP Apps are. Keybase.io integration makes it much more useful. Very happy!

by R####:

With the last update this app is doing it's job!

Y70%
by Y####:

*UPDATE 6/10/17 Installed latest version after developer response. First pgp I imported from clipboard worked perfectly! Now this app is worth using. Excellent. Big thanks and kudos for recognising and rectifying the error.

Z70%
by Z####:

Application was accidentally started due to awkwardness of Android's touch-screen interface. Application thereafter would not stop demanding permission, and would not be halted even when device was rebooted!

E70%

This app is great. I haven't found any other application that makes working with PGP as easy as this one does.

The UI is amazing and it supports smartcards!

U70%
by U####:

The import from clipboard option seems to be completely broken meaning you absolutely needs a desktop to import keys. Useless. I could just work off my desktop for that matter

R70%
by R####:

Useless. It's impossible to do anything with a public key block. Because you can't input the key block anywhere, you can't actually send your friends a message. At best, you can send them to yourself, for practice.

T70%
by T####:

It looks nice, but the import from clipboard feature doesn't work. So that makes this product pretty much useless.

Thanks for awesome app devs Really good application for people gpg encryption requirements

Clipboard doesn't work rendering this useless

Cant copy public key to clipboard.. useless if I can't give out my public key....

work well with yubikey

Great application, great security. Cant think of a way to improve. Well done, devs. For others saying it cant export in a way to be universal with desktop, linux, mac then answer it it can do so. Its exported as .pgp, just decrypt on pc (with password openpgp generates for you) and import certificate. Ive done it myself & works great! Update: Please allow encrypting multiple files at once and that will be a major improvement. Thank you :)

Looks like it stopped repeatedly asking access to your contacts. Reinstalled it..and updated the review.

R70%
by R####:

This App is fantastic. You can use a standard keyserver or use nothing and share via clipboard/texting or whatever you want. I read some reviews saying they couldn't export their keys. I don't know if it was an old version or something but I had no problem with it. This app is really simple and very good at what it does. Easy 5 stars :)

O70%
by O####:

I absolutely LOVE this app. I'm very pleased with the layer of security that this app adds. It allows me to encrypt/decrypt text to manually send in a messenger or a file. But, it also allows certain apps to connect to it and uses your OpenPGP key. I can't say enough good things about this app. 6/5 stars.

R70%
by R####:

It's a very well recommended app but I'm struggling with a known Android bug in Contacts Provider. If I try to run OKC, acore crash. If I frozen Contacts Provider (root), OKC crash, so I can't keep it installed

R70%
by R####:

To the people that can't export, you can copy your key to clipboard in the keys advanced options.

Backup files from OpenKeychain are encrypted, you can decrypt them using GPG4win and then import the keychain into Kleopatra or other program. Works brilliantly.

R70%
by R####:

Some keys it just doesn't read. Comes up with an error message and I can't figure out why...

A70%
by A####:

It works sometimes! I try to decrypt for sign in purposes with 2fa and the copy to clipboard function works rarely! Very frustrating at times!

R70%
by R####:

Ita great. Would be even better if could work along email app.

V70%
by V####:

Always worked for me

R70%

Solid replacement for APG. Integrates well with OS.

Great Android equivalent to Kleopatra. Good work.

Z70%

Encryption made easy

I70%
by I####:

Awesome

M70%
by M####:

If your looking for an easy app to encrypt and decrypt this is perfect. but as far as exporting private keys/public keys there is no way lol but you can still import your old key from ur pc and use it only as an encriptor/decryptor which is good ...

D70%
by D####:

The developer helps to keep you fit. The Export function wants you to write down 24 ciffers and letters and to type it in again. I tried to do that five times always checking that it is correct. It is simply not working . Together with k-9 mail it is not working either.

R70%
by R####:

This application does not let you export your secret key in a standardized way to import it on other devices, e. g. a desktop PC running Linux. Therefore I can't recommend using it for creating new keys, since it creates a vendor lock-in to this application and the Android OS.

R70%
by R####:

Very little of it works. Move to Yubikey, crash. Add subkey, crash. Can't turn off internet synchronization. The only thing it can do without force closing is generate master keys, but they're stuck there forever. It feels like it's close to working sometimes, but for now the wait for functional pgp on Android continues. That this is the current reference quality pgp app on Android is super disheartening.

R70%
by R####:

Cannot for the life of me figure out how to get a copy of my public key. Extremely frustrating unless I'm missing something...

R70%
by R####:

Finally, good pgp key management with an accessible API for other apps. Combined with K9, this is really great. I can finally, seamlessly, encrypt and decrypt emails across from both my laptop and smartphone.

R70%
by R####:

Would be great if it would decrypt certain messages. Not sure what the problem is but some messages I receive do decrypt and lay error message along the lines of "No secret key found within the stream"
