Open PGP @ Android
• 153 words • 1 min • updated
Recently I’ve discovered a very good free and open source e-mail application for Android: K-9 mail; it is available both on Google Play and F-Droid.
Additionally, and the main reason that led me to install it at first, was its native integration with APG (Google Play and F-Droid), a PGP implementation for Android. As a mini review, I got really surprised with these apps. They are both easy to use and full of features. I’m really satisfied with them, and this post is a quick recommendation.
I believe it is no surprise that I really support the practice of mail signing with Open PGP; and you probably should do it too. By the way, if you intend to use APG, DO NOT copy your secret key (from, say, your computer) by using (for example) Google Keep, or any other on-line service. You should do it off-line, securely. I’ve used Syncthing to do this.
