PGP Key Parser
Read PGP Key input and show its structured details. Enter the key material, choose the required format, then review the result.
This tool runs open-source code from CyberChef by GCHQ (Apache License 2.0). See open-source credits.
PGP Key Parser performs OpenPGP armored-key inspection for the supplied key or certificate data. It reports version, creation date, key ID, fingerprint, algorithm, and available key-size or curve details.
It reports version, creation date, key ID, fingerprint, algorithm, and available key-size or curve details. This result runs in the browser for this catalog category. Processing runs in the browser.
OpenPGP provides the selected encryption or signature operation; key trust, revocation, and storage remain external.
Instructions
- Provide text or data for this tool.
- Keep the key armor boundaries during copying. This applies to PGP Key Parser.
- Use the full fingerprint for comparison with a trusted record. This applies to PGP Key Parser.
Example
Input: Paste a complete disposable ASCII-armored public key rather than a signed message.
Settings: PGP Key Parser: The parser accepts armored key text and exposes no signing or decryption key field. There is no need to provide a production private-key passphrase.
Result: It reports version, creation date, key ID, fingerprint, algorithm, and available key-size or curve details.
Limits
- PGP Key Parser: Parsing metadata does not verify a message signature.
- PGP Key Parser: A displayed creation date and fingerprint do not prove current trust or revocation status.
