GNU Privacy Guard Plug-in for Becky! 2

Japanese | English

BkGnuPG is the plug-in software to be used with Becky! Internet Mail Ver. 2 (B2). By using GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) you can sign or encrypt your e-mail message. Also it can verify or decrypt incoming e-mail that was encrypted or signed by Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) or GnuPG.

There is a Becky PGP plug-in (BkPGP) that comes with B2, but almost everything you can do through PGP can be done by GnuPG, and GnuPG supports functions not yet supported by PGP.

BkGnuPG is free software. For further information about the copyright of BkGnuPG, please refer to BkGnuPG\readme_en.txt that comes in the BkGnuPG zip file.

First of all, please download the latest version from the following link.

(previous version)

BkGnuPGxxx.sig is a signature file. Please verify with GnuPG only. (When you verify with PGP it fails)

My public-key for digital sign is renewal. Please get the new pulic-key from the following link.

pub 2048R/76F72BE7 2003-01-04 Yasuhiro ARAKAWA (sig only) <spiegel@alles.or.jp> Key fingerprint = 3DBE 60E2 5C36 805F 1C26 A6A1 1B1B 373B 76F7 2BE7

CAUTION!

• If you use BkGnuPG latest version 1.0.4 or more GnuPG is indispensable.
• Latest version is doing encryption with '--batch' option. GnuPG cannot encrypt, using the public key without your signature. (when '--batch' option is enable) Please check the signature of the public key.
