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

  1. Provide text or data for this tool.
  2. Keep the key armor boundaries during copying. This applies to PGP Key Parser.
  3. 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.
