About:
Hopenpgp-tools provides a suite of command-line utilities for OpenPGP operations, built upon the Haskell hopenpgp library. It enables users to inspect, verify, and manipulate PGP keys and signatures programmatically. The tool is ideal for developers and security professionals needing scriptable and robust PGP functionality.
Key Features:
  • Command-line interface for OpenPGP operations
  • Built on the robust Haskell hopenpgp library
  • Supports key inspection and signature verification
  • Scriptable for automation workflows
Use Cases:
  • Verifying software package signatures in CI/CD pipelines
  • Automating key management and inspection tasks
  • Integrating PGP verification into custom security scripts
Alternatives:
  • GnuPG (gpg) – The standard, full-featured implementation; hopenpgp-tools offers a more lightweight, scriptable alternative focused on specific verification tasks.
  • RPGP (CLI tools) – A Rust-based implementation; hopenpgp-tools is the Haskell equivalent, often preferred in Haskell-centric environments.
