gpg4usb

gpg4usb is a lightweight Windows application built specifically for helping you write text messages and protect the information by setting up passwords.

The advantages of being portable

Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry.
You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to encrypt your information with the aid of public keys on the breeze, without having to go through installation steps.

Intuitive interface

The tool sports a clean and simple layout that allows you to carry out most operations with minimum effort. Plus, when you run the program for the first time, you are offered step-by-step assistance throughout the entire configuration process.

Encryption capabilities

In order to use the program for decrypting and signing messages, you need a private key. The wizard mode enables you to generate or import a key in only a few steps.
gpg4usb gives you the possibility to create a new keypair that consists of a public and private key, write text messages directly into the primary panel, decrypt the information, as well as sign or verify the file.
A new key can be generated by providing details about the name, email address, comment, expiration date, key size, password, as well as password strength level.
The key file manager enables you to import keys from ASC, TXT, or GPG file format, copy the information from clipboard, and export the selected keys to ASC or TXT file format.
What's more, you can perform basic editing operations (copy, paste), remove linebreaks, use hotkeys for a better control over the entire process, remember passwords, import files which are dragged and dropped on the keylist without confirmation, as well as print the information.

Bottom line

All things considered, gpg4usb proves to be a reliable application that comes packed with a handy set of features for helping you create encrypted files.
