isomorphic-pgp
A lightweight library for creating and verifying OpenPGP signatures
Motivation
PGP is the cryptographic standard used to sign git commits, and I wanted to provide isomorphic-git users a way
to tap into that power without sacrificing bundle size or worrying about LGPL restrictions.
So I wrote an entirely new JavaScript library with that narrow use case in mind.
IMPORTANT!!!
Please read and understand the limitations of the sign-and-verify module before using it.
Comparison with other libraries
This library does not implement encryption or decryption - only signing and verifying signatures.
