ABKey

The GPG Plugin for Address Book

Status: Beta

License: Artistic

 

Overview

Although Apple's Address Book provides central management of your contacts' details, it was previously necessary to use different applications to manage their GPG keys. The ABKey plugin enhances Address Book by allowing you to see which of your contacts have current, revoked and expired keys as well as providing more detailed information on request.

Furthermore, the plugin works together with newer versions of GPGMail to provide per-contact control over signing and encryption preferences. You can state for a particular contact, for instance, to always encrypt or never sign emails you send to them.

Please note that this plugin is still in early development and signification additions and changes are planned, including vCard key support and key editing. Bug reports, comments and feature requests are always welcome.

Requirements

Requirements

• Mac OSX 10.3.x (Earlier versions of Address book do not support plugins)
• gpg 1.4.x or later

See the included documentation for installation, usage instructions and Tiger issues
