*Since Camel {since}*

The PGP Data Format integrates the Java
Cryptographic Extension into Camel, allowing simple and flexible
encryption and decryption of messages using Camel's familiar marshal
and unmarshal formatting mechanism. It assumes marshalling to mean
encryption to ciphertext and unmarshalling to mean decryption back to
the original plaintext. This data format implements only symmetric
(shared-key) encryption and decryption.

== Encrypting with PGPDataFormat

The following sample uses the popular PGP format for
encrypting/decrypting files using the
http://www.bouncycastle.org/java.html[Bouncy Castle Java libraries]:

The following sample performs signing + encryption, and then signature
verification + decryption. It uses the same keyring for both signing and
encryption, but you can obviously use different keys:

Or using Spring:

=== To work with the previous example you need the following

* A public keyring file which contains the public keys used to encrypt
the data
* A private keyring file which contains the keys used to decrypt the
data
* The keyring password

=== Managing your keyring

To manage the keyring, I use the command line tools, I find this to be
the simplest approach in managing the keys. There are also Java
libraries available from
http://www.bouncycastle.org/java.html[http://www.bouncycastle.org/java.html]
if you would prefer to do it that way.

Install the command line utilities on linux

[source,bash]
---------------------
apt-get install gnupg
---------------------
Create your keyring, entering a secure password

[source,bash]
-------------
gpg --gen-key
-------------
If you need to import someone elses public key so that you can encrypt a file for them.

[source,bash]
--------------------------
gpg --import <filename.key
--------------------------
The following files should now exist and can be used to run the example

[source,bash]
-----------------------------------------------
ls -l ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg
-----------------------------------------------

== PGP Decrypting/Verifying of Messages Encrypted/Signed by Different Private/Public Keys

A PGP Data Formater can decrypt/verify messages which have been
encrypted by different public keys or signed by different private keys.
Just, provide the corresponding private keys in the secret keyring, the
corresponding public keys in the public keyring, and the passphrases in
the passphrase accessor.

[source,java]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map<String, String> userId2Passphrase = new HashMap<String, String>(2);
// add passphrases of several private keys whose corresponding public keys have been used to encrypt the messages
userId2Passphrase.put("UserIdOfKey1","passphrase1"); // you must specify the exact User ID!
userId2Passphrase.put("UserIdOfKey2","passphrase2");
PGPPassphraseAccessor passphraseAccessor = new PGPPassphraseAccessorDefault(userId2Passphrase);

PGPDataFormat pgpVerifyAndDecrypt = new PGPDataFormat();
pgpVerifyAndDecrypt.setPassphraseAccessor(passphraseAccessor);
// the method getSecKeyRing() provides the secret keyring as byte array containing the private keys
pgpVerifyAndDecrypt.setEncryptionKeyRing(getSecKeyRing()); // alternatively you can use setKeyFileName(keyfileName)
// the method getPublicKeyRing() provides the public keyring as byte array containing the public keys
pgpVerifyAndDecrypt.setSignatureKeyRing((getPublicKeyRing());  // alternatively you can use setSignatureKeyFileName(signatgureKeyfileName)
// it is not necessary to specify the encryption or signer  User Id
 
from("direct:start")
         ...     
        .unmarshal(pgpVerifyAndDecrypt) // can decrypt/verify messages encrypted/signed by different private/public keys
        ...            
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* The functionality is especially useful to support the key exchange. If
you want to exchange the private key for decrypting you can accept for a
period of time messages which are either encrypted with the old or new
corresponding public key. Or if the sender wants to exchange his signer
private key, you can accept for a period of time, the old or new signer
key.
* Technical background: The PGP encrypted data contains a Key ID of the
public key which was used to encrypt the data. This Key ID can be used
to locate the private key in the secret keyring to decrypt the data. The
same mechanism is also used to locate the public key for verifying a
signature. Therefore you no longer must specify User IDs for the
unmarshaling.

== Restricting the Signer Identities during PGP Signature Verification

If you verify a signature you not only want to verify the correctness of
the signature but you also want check that the signature comes from a
certain identity or a specific set of identities. Therefore it is
possible to restrict the number of public keys from the public keyring
which can be used for the verification of a signature.  

*Signature User IDs*

[source,java]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// specify the User IDs of the expected signer identities
 List<String> expectedSigUserIds = new ArrayList<String>();
 expectedSigUserIds.add("Trusted company1");
 expectedSigUserIds.add("Trusted company2");
 
 PGPDataFormat pgpVerifyWithSpecificKeysAndDecrypt = new PGPDataFormat();
 pgpVerifyWithSpecificKeysAndDecrypt.setPassword("my password"); // for decrypting with private key
 pgpVerifyWithSpecificKeysAndDecrypt.setKeyFileName(keyfileName);
 pgpVerifyWithSpecificKeysAndDecrypt.setSignatureKeyFileName(signatgureKeyfileName);
 pgpVerifyWithSpecificKeysAndDecrypt.setSignatureKeyUserids(expectedSigUserIds); // if you have only one signer identity then you can also use setSignatureKeyUserid("expected Signer")
 
from("direct:start")
         ...     
        .unmarshal(pgpVerifyWithSpecificKeysAndDecrypt)
        ...      
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* If the PGP content has several signatures the verification is
successful as soon as one signature can be verified.
* If you do not want to restrict the signer identities for verification
then do not specify the signature key User IDs. In this case all public
keys in the public keyring are taken into account.

== Several Signatures in One PGP Data Format

The PGP specification allows that one PGP data format can contain
several signatures from different keys. Since Camel 2.13.3 it is
possible to create such kind of PGP content via specifying signature
User IDs which relate to several private keys in the secret keyring.

*Several Signatures*

[source,java]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 PGPDataFormat pgpSignAndEncryptSeveralSignerKeys = new PGPDataFormat();
 pgpSignAndEncryptSeveralSignerKeys.setKeyUserid(keyUserid); // for encrypting, you can also use setKeyUserids if you want to encrypt with several keys
 pgpSignAndEncryptSeveralSignerKeys.setKeyFileName(keyfileName);
 pgpSignAndEncryptSeveralSignerKeys.setSignatureKeyFileName(signatgureKeyfileName);
 pgpSignAndEncryptSeveralSignerKeys.setSignaturePassword("sdude"); // here we assume that all private keys have the same password, if this is not the case then you can use setPassphraseAccessor

 List<String> signerUserIds = new ArrayList<String>();
 signerUserIds.add("company old key");
 signerUserIds.add("company new key");
 pgpSignAndEncryptSeveralSignerKeys.setSignatureKeyUserids(signerUserIds);
 
from("direct:start")
         ...     
        .marshal(pgpSignAndEncryptSeveralSignerKeys)
        ...      
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

== Support of Sub-Keys and Key Flags in PGP Data Format Marshaler

An https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4880#section-12.1[OpenPGP V4 key] can
have a primary key and sub-keys. The usage of the keys is indicated by
the so called https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4880#section-5.2.3.21[Key
Flags]. For example, you can have a primary key with two sub-keys; the
primary key shall only be used for certifying other keys (Key Flag
0x01), the first sub-key  shall only be used for signing (Key Flag
0x02), and the second sub-key shall only be used for encryption (Key
Flag 0x04 or 0x08). The PGP Data Format marshaler takes into account
these Key Flags of the primary key and sub-keys in order to determine
the right key for signing and encryption. This is necessary because the
primary key and its sub-keys have the same User IDs.

== Support of Custom Key Accessors

You can implement custom key accessors for encryption/signing. The
above PGPDataFormat class selects in a certain predefined way the keys
which should be used for signing/encryption or verifying/decryption. If
you have special requirements how your keys should be selected you
should use the
https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/main/components/camel-crypto/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/converter/crypto/PGPKeyAccessDataFormat.java[PGPKeyAccessDataFormat]
class instead and implement the interfaces
https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/main/components/camel-crypto/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/converter/crypto/PGPPublicKeyAccessor.java[PGPPublicKeyAccessor]
and
https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/main/components/camel-crypto/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/converter/crypto/PGPSecretKeyAccessor.java[PGPSecretKeyAccessor]
as beans. There are default implementations
https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/main/components/camel-crypto/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/converter/crypto/DefaultPGPPublicKeyAccessor.java[DefaultPGPPublicKeyAccessor]
and
https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/main/components/camel-crypto/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/converter/crypto/DefaultPGPSecretKeyAccessor.java[DefaultPGPSecretKeyAccessor]
which cache the keys, so that not every time the keyring is parsed when
the processor is called.

PGPKeyAccessDataFormat has the same options as PGPDataFormat except
password, keyFileName, encryptionKeyRing, signaturePassword,
signatureKeyFileName, and signatureKeyRing.

== Dependencies

To use the PGP dataformat in your camel routes you
need to add the following dependency to your pom.

[source,xml]
----------------------------------------------------------
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-crypto</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
