hello someone knows if delta chat supports PGP or GPG keys thanks

r10s commented 6 years ago

Both. In rough words:

PGP or OpenPGP is the file format that Delta Chat supports in general.
GPG is just another PGP/OpenPGP-implementation. Other PGP implementations are eg. OpenPGP.js, Sequoia-PGP. In general, all these implementation should be compatible to Delta Chat - or any other PGP/OpenPGP implementation

It would be great implementation to be able to import PGP keys in the app

r10s commented 6 years ago

In general, you can import PGP keys:

Please not that it is not possible to import password-protected keys and that there may be key formats that are not supported.

Ok I understand I can make a PGP key without password import it and try to see if it works. Do you know what keys it supports?

r10s commented 6 years ago

RSA keys with common sizes are known to work.
