SecuMail is a partial implementation of the OpenPGP standard (RFC2440,RFC4880) that leverages your current cryptography infrastructure and allows your iOS devices to interoperate with it.
SecuMail currently implements a subset of the standard that allows you to encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify OpenPGP messages. It also gives you many options for easily importing and exporting your keys and encrypted messages.

- Option to remember Key pass phrases (with time-out).
- Server passwords and Key pass phrases are stored in the device key chain, for maximum security.
- Handles gpg, pgp and asc attachments from Mail (for messages and keys)
- Import keys from LDAP, LDAPS, HKP and HTTPS key servers.
- Import keys by Copy/Paste from Safari, Mail or any other program.

Pros and cons of SecuMail app for iPhone and iPad
SecuMail app good for
At first sight i decided that i got an enigmatic application with fantastic declared functionality but none of them works. But after closer look and few explanations from support i understood all mistakes i made in configuration and key production. For now i beleive that SecuMail only application on iTunes that have an ability to encrypt and sign text. Support for this application works very good. All my questions and problems with SecuMail was solved fast and complete. Looking forward for new functionality of application
I can now sign ALL my email again. Its been very inconvenient to turn on my computer just to sign my email.
Updating review: This software is still rock solid despite the lack of updates. I havent tried or trusted any other PGP apps beside this one.
It could use some updating to add modern integration with share sheets or even an integrated keyboard app in iMessage. But for now I copy and paste what I need.
Thanks for the app! Dont give it network access.
Some bad moments
the app should offer a lot of features that others dont, but its just the other way around. For 10 times the price of oPenGP it is not possible to get private and public key into the app via iTunes. It only works with Dropbox. Are you kidding me?! A private key on a cloud service?! oPenGP has that feature and works as good as this bummer app.
Is this a great tool? Yes it is however it opens your secret key up to theft by anyone who gets there hands on your iPhone. This program MUST be changed to include an initial passcode lock using AES encryption. As this app is very very expensive I expect more... Hence why I gave it 1 star. Change this and Ill change my rating.
A real crypto app for those of us who are concerned about communicating privately on the iPhone. Ability to import keys, AES-256 support, and good mail integration.
Yea its 50 bucks. But to truly appreciate it, you should download some of the others first. Most have bad English in the UI or only support 8 character pre-shared keys. Id charge the same if I wrote it. Theres just no competition at this level.
The only thing Id like to see is auto blanking of the encrypt tab anytime the app is closed and reopened.
Excellent program. My only wish is the ability to generate keys on it.
Please impalement support for non US encodings, such as koi8-r and UTF8.
This is an app that I was waiting for, for a long time. It handles attachments which is critical. Great product and support is excellent, very responsive. Actually by far the best tech support I ever had to deal with! Good job guys.
Just keep the "encoding" support updated
