About:
Gpgmepp provides a modern C++ interface to the GPGME (GnuPG Made Easy) library, simplifying cryptographic operations like encryption, decryption, and signing. It abstracts the complexities of the underlying C API, offering a safer and more intuitive object-oriented approach. This allows developers to integrate GnuPG functionality into C++ applications with greater ease and reliability.
Key Features:
  • Object-oriented C++ wrapper for GPGME
  • RAII (Resource Acquisition Is Initialization) for automatic memory management
  • Exception-based error handling
  • Seamless integration with the GnuPG backend
Use Cases:
  • Building secure messaging clients with end-to-end encryption
  • Developing C++ applications requiring digital signature verification
  • Automating file encryption workflows in enterprise environments
Alternatives:
  • OpenSSL – OpenSSL is a general-purpose cryptography library, whereas Gpgmepp specifically interfaces with GnuPG for PGP/GPG standards compliance and keyring management.
  • libgcrypt – libgcrypt provides low-level cryptographic primitives, while Gpgmepp offers high-level protocol management for GPG operations.
