Overview

About

Maintained by Jeroen OomsCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Bindings to GnuPG for working with OpenGPG (RFC4880) cryptographic methods. Includes utilities for public key encryption, creating and verifying digital signatures, and managing your local keyring. Some functionality depends on the version of GnuPG that is installed on the system. On Windows this package can be used together with 'GPG4Win' which provides a GUI for managing keys and entering passphrases.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/gpg/gpg_1.3.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "gpg_1.3.0.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (1.3.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("jeroen/gpg")

Development version from jeroen/gpg. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
