how to generate an openpgp key?

[zcaudate]

There are examples on how to read a key that is exported. I'm looking for a way to generate a key directly using the library. Are there examples on how to do this?

[codesandnotes]

There is an issue opened for key generation (Issue #20). As far as I know this feature is not yet implemented in BouncyGPG... In the meantime, maybe this will help: https://www.codesandnotes.be/2018/07/17/openpgp-java-keys-generation/

@codesandnotes is right -- if key generation is needed, I can add that (though this will take a week or two)

[zcaudate]

@neuhalje that would be great.

FYI -- I am currently working on it

[zcaudate]

thanks so much for this. looking forward to it.

@zcaudate The implementation looks quite good (if you want, I'd welcome feedback on the API design behind BouncyGPG::createSimpleKeyring and BouncyGPG::createKeyring)

[neuhalje]

FYI -- besides some API changes the main blocker now is #30

Quick update: I ran into some blockers with ECC key generation (failing integration tests, see #30 )

v2.2.0 released with RSA key generation
