About:
SequoiaChameleonGnupg provides drop-in replacements for the standard gpg and gpgv command-line tools. It leverages the modern Sequoia-PGP library to offer a secure, auditable, and forward-looking implementation of the OpenPGP standard. This ensures compatibility with existing workflows while utilizing a more robust and maintainable cryptographic backend.
Key Features:
  • Drop-in replacement for gpg and gpgv commands
  • Built on the modern and secure Sequoia-PGP library
  • Maintains compatibility with existing OpenPGP workflows
  • Improved security posture and code auditability
Use Cases:
  • Securing software supply chains by replacing legacy GnuPG
  • Automating package signing and verification in CI/CD pipelines
  • Performing general-purpose file encryption and decryption
Alternatives:
  • gnupg – The standard, widely-used implementation; Sequoia aims to be a more modern and secure alternative.
  • rpgp – Another Rust-based OpenPGP implementation; Sequoia is a distinct project with its own design goals and ecosystem.
