OpenPGPBlackbox (ActiveX) 6.1

OpenPGPBlackbox (ActiveX) 6.1 is the tool you should not leave behind. It is usually used to sign, encrypt and compress files and text. Also PGP can be used to sign and encrypt internet mail. PGP has its own key management structure and recent implementations also can use X.509 certificates to hold the keys. PGP evolved into an open standard (OpenPGP).

OpenPGPBlackbox (ActiveX edition, part of SecureBlackbox software product) is a collection of ActiveX controls for OpenPGP support in your C++, Visual Basic, VBScript and VBA applications.

OpenPGPBlackbox conforms to OpenPGP Message Format (RFC 2440 and its successor, RFC 4880) and supports all popular PGP-based applications and libraries which are currently available on the market.

Using OpenPGPBlackbox the SSL/TLS components of SecureBlackbox can perform OpenPGP-based server-side and client-side authentication of the SSL/TLS handshake. OpenPGPBlackbox also provides OpenPGP/MIME extension for support of PGP-encrypted mail. This extension can be used with MIMEBlackbox.

OpenPGPBlackbox does not use CryptoAPI, OpenPGP or other third-party encryption library. To perform cryptographic functions and for PKI operations OpenPGPBlackbox uses PKIBlackbox, base functions of which are included with OpenPGPBlackbox package.

OpenPGPBlackbox is offered as an individual package and as a part of Professional, Standard and Data Security packages. 

Key management lets you:

• Generate OpenPGP keys ;
• Save, load and manage OpenPGP keyrings ;
• Validate the keys and signatures ;
• Use X.509 certificates instead of OpenPGP keys ;
• Support Cryptocards and USB Crypto Tokens

DLL/ActiveX edition can be used with

• MS Visual Basic 6 (ActiveX only)
• MS Visual C++ 6.0 (ActiveX and DLL)
• JScript and VBScript (ActiveX, not all controls)
• MS Visual Studio .NET and MS Visual Studio .NET 2003 via COM interop. Not recommended, use .NET edition instead
• Development tools, which support DLLs (DLL version of OpenPGPBlackbox only)
