Version 1 of tclgpg

Updated 2008-09-20 13:07:48 by kostix

Description

This package provides a cross-platform Tcl wrapper around the gpg binary as implemented in the "Gnu Privacy Guard" [L1 ] providing for basic operations:

  • Digitally signing messages.
  • Verification of digital signatures.
  • Encryption/decryption of messages.

The project was started to fulfill the need of using PGP in tkabber while ditching the tclgpgme package which provides Tcl bindings to the GPGME library [L2 ] written in C.

Availability

The project is hosted at [L3 ].

Currently it's in an "alpha" stage so there's no release tarballs yet. On the other hand the code already works OK for tkabber.

Requirements

This package requires support for creation of standalone pipes in Tcl, so it requires Tcl >= 8.6 with its chan pipe command or any version of Tcl with either Tclx or tclpipe package available.
