PGP Bericht Ondertekenen

Maak digitale handtekeningen voor tekstberichten met PGP.

PGP Sign Message lets you create a cryptographic digital signature for any text message using your PGP or GPG private key — outputting a standard ASCII-armored .asc signed message ready to share or publish. Because signing uses your private key and passphrase, privacy is critical: everything runs locally in the browser using the Web Cryptography API, so your key material is never transmitted to any server. The resulting signature lets anyone with your public key independently verify that the message came from you and has not been altered since you signed it.

  • Authenticate Written Communications — Developers, journalists, and legal professionals sign statements or declarations so recipients can verify authorship and detect any tampering.
  • Sign Release Announcements — Open-source maintainers sign changelog text or version announcements with their well-known GPG key so users can confirm legitimacy before acting on the release.
  • Prove Document Integrity — Contractors and freelancers sign plaintext contracts or invoices to create a tamper-evident record that both parties can later verify against the original.
  • Establish Identity on Forums — Users paste a signed challenge message to prove ownership of a PGP key listed in a public keyserver profile, without sharing the private key or passphrase with any third party.
  • Offline Signing Without GPG Installed — Anyone who needs a quick PGP-signed output on a machine without GPG or Kleopatra installed can use this tool directly in the browser with no software download.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a digital signature?

A digital signature proves that a message came from you and hasn't been tampered with. It's created with your private key and can be verified by anyone with your public key.

Why should I sign my messages?

Signing provides authenticity (proves you sent it) and integrity (proves it wasn't modified). It's especially important for legal documents, contracts, and sensitive communications.

Can others read my signed messages?

Yes, signing doesn't encrypt the message - it just adds a signature. Anyone can read the message and verify the signature using your public key.

What's the difference between signing and encrypting?

Signing proves authenticity and integrity but doesn't hide content. Encryption hides content but doesn't prove who sent it. You can do both for maximum security.

Is my private key safe during signing?

Yes, all signing happens locally in your browser. Your private key and passphrase are never transmitted to external servers.
