PGP KeyRing conducts strict tests on the contents of the key rings you import. All assertions - user ids and email addresses, subkeys, certifications, and revocations - are thoroughly verified. Are the digital signatures backing these claims valid? If the answer is "no" for any portion of a key ring you attempt to import, it is rejected in its entirety. You can therefore be sure that any key ring accepted into PGP KeyRing was not tampered with en route to you and is perfectly genuine.
For this reason, third party certifications (for example, by your friends) will only be recognized if the certifier's public certificate has also been imported. Access to the certifier's public key the only way PGP KeyRing can be sure the certification is actually genuine.
PGP KeyRing can be used seamlessly by Squeaky Mail to send and receive PGP-encrypted messages. Squeaky Mail is based entirely on the popular, open source email client K-9 Mail.
Connections to OpenPGP Smartcards, such as the YubiKey Neo, are established on the Secret Keys Pane. You can navigate away once the connection has been made. The YubiKey Neo will be recognized even if PGP KeyRing is not open, but for any other smartcard, you must first open the Secret Keys Pane and then bring the smartcard in range of your device's NFC reader.
PRIVACY: PGP KeyRing stores your private keys - encrypted using a block cipher algorithm and protected by your password - locally on the phone. They are only ever used to perform the encryption operations YOU have specified. They are NEVER transferred off the phone. (The Internet permission is used to access Key Servers and the help page.) In fact, if you try and export your private keys by Mail or Bluetooth, PGP KeyRing will only transfer your public keys. Secret keys can only be exported to FILE locally on the phone. You decide what happens from there. Similarly, PGP KeyRing does not collect metrics on how you use the app, nor does it transmit any information related to your identity.
PGPKeyRing uses the CAST5 algorithm to store secret key rings. As of version 2.2, it uses the SHA-512 algorithm for key bindings and certifications. Also, a key holder's expressed algorithm preferences are ignored. You as the sender can decide which signature and encryption algorithms to use.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
5 ★Solves the pgp/mime issues that AGP doesn't support.
4 ★For general encryption this is great. The developer is really friendly and answers emails quickly. More competition now with AGP being updated and Samsung Android comes with this sort of thing by default in their email application.
3 ★Trying to import keys as.asc files or .pkr files gets the error message "I cannot handle that type of content."
3 ★I've used APG for years and its user interface, while not perfect, is now actually quite usable. I bought KeyRing because I've grown tired of having to wait until I'm at my computer to read (or send) PGP/MIME messages. My beloved K9+APG combination only supports inline PGP. The combination Squeaky Mail + KeyRing does the trick. However, key management in KeyRing is very, very basic and the user interface is too. AFAIK you can't even change your keyring passphrase. Use your desktop, or APG, to set up your keyrings first, then import them into KeyRing. If all you need on your phone is a cryptography service provider that supports PGP/MIME, KeyRing is currently the only way to go.
4 ★I have had a very positive dialogue with the developer. I think that this app has a lot of potential and wish him much success with his work.
5 ★Still number one.
4 ★One complaint is its easy to hit the wrong name when looking up someone on the keyserver list on a phone. Works great with Squeaky Mail, which is a yet another program I highly recommend.
3 ★Anyone know how to trust an imported public key?
5 ★Does what I need it to, and very user friendly!
5 ★Excellent application and a great developer who takes time to help the end-user. Recommended.
2 ★Unable to import more than 1 key from files makes this app useless. I went with AGP. I recommend 110%.
1 ★Trash want refund
