PGP Verify

Category: PGP

Status: Registered and callable in the CyberChef 11.3.0 compatibility inventory.

Input / output: string → string

Background: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy

What it does

Input: the ASCII-armoured encrypted PGP message you want to verify. Argument: the ASCII-armoured PGP public key of the signer This operation uses PGP to decrypt a clearsigned message. Pretty Good Privacy is an encryption standard (OpenPGP) used for encrypting, decrypting, and signing messages. This function uses the Keybase implementation of PGP.

Note

Status here means the operation name is implemented and callable. It does not by itself promise byte-for-byte parity for every upstream option. See Compatibility and current status for the verified scope and known boundaries.

Warning

This operation currently implements a documented compatibility subset.

Arguments and options

Arguments are positional. Keep their order when using bake() or Pipeline.then().

Index	Name	UI type	PyChef default	Accepted values / format
`0`	Public key of signer	`text`	`''`	`''`

Recipe template

Important

This is a call template built from the documented defaults. Replace placeholder values such as empty keys, paths, patterns, or lookup data before running it.

from pychef import bake

input_value = "example"
args = ['']
result = bake(input_value, [{"op": 'PGP Verify', "args": args}])
print(result)

Pipeline example

from pychef import Pipeline

args = ['']
transform = Pipeline().then('PGP Verify', *args)
result = transform("example")

Dedicated operation module

The registered entry point lives in pychef.operations.by_operation.pgp_verify. Direct calls receive the input value and a positional argument tuple:

from pychef.operations.by_operation.pgp_verify import run

result = run("example", tuple(['']))

pychef.operations.by_operation.pgp_verify.run(value, args)

Run this operation using its shared internal implementation.

Parameters:

value (str | bytes)
args (Sequence[Any])

Return type:

str | bytes
