This software is not maintained by a professional coder. I mostly write bash scripts, batch files, HTML and a little phyton now and then. The Linux part is up to date and working as far as i can tell. Windows is not Up to date and breaks the DB after launching.
gpg4usb is an easy to use, small portable editor with the possibility to encrypt and decrypt any text-message or -file you want. For encryption it acts as a gpg-frontend (http://gnupg.org/). Its intend is to be used from an usb-stick, running on Windows(TM) and Linux. Providing a mac-binary is on our TODO-list.
Our aim is, to give anyone the possibility to send and receive secure encrypted messages anywhere - on any computer out there, no matter if Microsoft Windows(TM) or Linux is running on it. Therefore it's usage should be self-describing, and the user-interface is kept as simple as possible.
Of course gpg4usb is open source, as are included libs and binaries.
You can get prepacked zip-files from http://gpg4usb.cpunk.de/download.html . For retrieving the source checkout http://cpunk.de/svn/src/ .
- Unzip gpg4usb.zip on your usb-stick.
- start programm with start_windows.exe or start_linux (depending on your os)
- import your private key and some public keys
- enjoy portable encryption ;-)
