Getting from the gpg keyring is easy.
private PgpPublicKey GetPublicKey(String userId)
{
if (userId == null)
throw new PgpException("No recipient was specified");
PgpPublicKeyRingBundle publicKeyRingBundle = new
PgpPublicKeyRingBundle(new
MemoryStream(File.ReadAllBytes(PublicKeyRingPath)));
foreach (PgpPublicKeyRing keyRing in
publicKeyRingBundle.GetKeyRings(userId))
{
foreach (PgpPublicKey key in keyRing.GetPublicKeys())
{
if (key.IsEncryptionKey)
return key;
}
}
return null;
}
Similar for a private key (but you need the password):
private PgpPrivateKey GetPrivateKey(String userId, char[] passphrase)
{
if (userId == null)
throw new PgpException("No User ID was specified");
PgpSecretKeyRingBundle privateKeyRingBundle =
new
PgpSecretKeyRingBundle(PgpUtilities.GetDecoderStream(new
MemoryStream(File.ReadAllBytes(PrivateKeyRingPath))));
PgpPrivateKey privateKey = null;
foreach (PgpSecretKeyRing keyRing in
privateKeyRingBundle.GetKeyRings(userId))
{
foreach (PgpSecretKey key in keyRing.GetSecretKeys())
{
privateKey = key.ExtractPrivateKey(passphrase);
if (privateKey != null)
return privateKey;
}
}
return null;
}
Have not yet worked out the 'adding' part, mostly for lack of time. At
present, I just dump the key to a file and farm out to the gpg command
line. The magic is probably somewhere in/around the KeyRingBundle classes,
however.
