About the PGP Key Generator & Message Encrypter

What this tool does

The PGP Key Generator and Message Encrypter gives you a simple way to work with OpenPGP keys in your browser. It helps you create a key pair, encrypt messages for someone else using their public key, and decrypt messages that were encrypted for you.

Everything happens in the browser tab you are using. Keys and messages are handled in memory only. The page does not send your keys or messages to CyberLife Coach or to any other server as part of the cryptography process.

You can use this tool to

Create a fresh OpenPGP key pair for testing and training
Copy and share your public key so others can send you private messages
Encrypt a message using someone else’s public key
Paste an encrypted message and decrypt it with your private key and passphrase

This tool is best suited for

Personal education and self study
Cybersecurity training labs and classroom demos
Small experiments where you want to see PGP in action
Practice before you move to a dedicated PGP email client

Important focus. This is a lightweight, browser based toolkit. It is not intended to be your only long term key manager or the core of a high risk operational security setup.

How it works under the hood

The main PGP page loads the OpenPGP.js library directly into your browser. When you click the buttons to generate, encrypt, or decrypt, the library performs the cryptographic operations in the same tab that you see.

No account or login is required to use the page
No key escrow or cloud backup is built in
No server side storage of keys or messages is built in

If you close the tab without copying your keys, they are gone. You are responsible for copying, saving, backing up, and revoking keys that you create with this tool.

Quick start guide

Open the PGP tool and go to the “Generate PGP key pair” tab.
Enter a name, an email, and a strong passphrase, then generate a key pair.
Copy the public key and share it with someone you trust, for example in a secure chat.
Ask them to encrypt a message for you and send back the encrypted text.
Paste your private key, your passphrase, and the encrypted message in the “Decrypt” tab and decrypt it.

This simple loop gives you a hands on feel for how public key encryption works in practice without needing to reconfigure your email client.

At a glance

Local only operations Open source library Training friendly No server storage

What this tool is not

It is important to understand the limits. This browser page does not replace:

A full PGP email integration with your mail client
A hardened, long term key management solution
A full security program for sensitive sources or high risk journalism
A password manager or secure secret vault

You can think of it as a focused “workbench” for testing and learning PGP, not an all purpose secure storage platform.

Good use cases

Teaching students how public and private keys work
Demonstrating encrypted messaging in workshops
Checking that a public key someone sent you is usable
Experimenting with key sizes and passphrases in a lab

Security and privacy notes

Even though cryptography happens in your browser, your overall privacy still depends on your device, your operating system, your browser extensions, and what else is running on the machine.

Avoid generating or using keys on shared or untrusted computers
Keep your browser and operating system updated
Be careful when pasting keys into other sites or chat tools
Store key backups in a secure location under your control

Best practice checklist

Use a long, unique passphrase for each private key
Create and safely store a revocation certificate in a separate place
Document where you saved copies of your keys and who has access
Retire and revoke old keys when you no longer need them

Legal and security notice

This PGP explanation page and the underlying tool are provided for education, training, and personal experimentation. They do not provide legal, security, or compliance advice. To the best of our knowledge, cryptographic operations run in your browser and keys and messages are not transmitted to CyberLife Coach or to any external server as part of those operations. You are responsible for how you generate, export, store, and share any keys or ciphertext, including backups, revocation, and passphrase hygiene. No guarantees are made about cryptographic strength, implementation flaws, browser or device compromise, or compatibility with other OpenPGP tools. For high risk work or sensitive sources, use a dedicated, well reviewed PGP setup and seek expert guidance.
