Remote PGP Services? (Similar to iGolder?)

Is there a very simple PGP encryption / decryption / key generation tool that lives on a website, similarto iGolder?

I'm trying to re-install GPG Suite, but am having issues with the installation on my Mac (it thinks a previous attempt to install that became stuck in the process is still trying to install, preventing me from using this program.) I've already been to the Genius Bar trying to fix and it's gonna be more work than I'll be able to devote this weekend,but I need to get a message out today.

My issue with iGolder is that it decrypts from other keys just fine, but decrypting messages with a key generated from iGolder appears to be broken - but I have to imagine someone else offers this services, or there's a similarly easy way to perform these actions without installing anything new onto my computer?

Trusting anonymous internet strangers with your private key is a great idea. It must be safe, otherwise the website committee would have never let them put this on the internet

Stop being a lazy twat and use a Tails live USB or something

Below is a Mac tutorial for GPGTools that was written by a former community member, Nightcrawler. It may come in handy for you. You could always download a fresh copy of GPGTools, install it on your Mac and then follow the tutorial on how to generate a new key pair to use. That would also solve your immediaate problem.

GPGTools Tutorial

GPGTools is version dependent -- depending on which version of OS X you have, it may or may not work as expected. If you have Leopard (10.5) then you're pretty much out of luck. Your only option then will be using the command-line. See the Mac GPG Command LIne tutorial for instructions.

If you have Snow Leopard (10.6), Lion (10.7), Mountain Lion (10.8 ), Mavericks (10.9) or Yosemite (10.10) the following instructions should be sufficient to allow you to get up and running.

Download and install GPGTools: https://releases.gpgtools.org/GPG_Suite-2015.03-b6.dmg

Once you have installed GPGTools, what you want to do is to go into System Preferences --> Keyboard --> Services.

Scroll down until you find the following entries. Be sure to put a check mark in the boxes to activate each keyboard shortcut.

Keyboard shortcuts:

OpenPGP: Decrypt Selection: Shift-Command-D

OpenPGP: Encrypt Selection: Shift-Command-E

OpenPGP: Import Key from Selection: Shift-Command-I

OpenPGP: Insert My Fingerprint: Shift-Command-F

OpenPGP: Insert My Key: Shift-Command-K

OpenPGP: Sign Selection: Shift-Command-R

OpenPGP: Verify Signature of Selection: Shift-Control-V

Remember, these shortcuts only operate on highlighted or selected text.

N.B.: To properly be able to import PGP keys into GPGChain (via TextEdit) you need to change the default on TextEdit from .rtf to plain text. You can do that through the Format menu, or you can go through the main configuration menu, accessible by using Command-comma. Ensure the plain text radio button is selected.

Also ensure that the following are UNCHECKED in TextEdit preferences: smart quotes, smart dashes, smart links.

To select text within TextEdit, use Command-A to highlight the entire document, or use your mouse to selection the section that you want to verify/sign/encrypt/decrypt. It is highly recommended that you use only plain-text, as opposed to Rich Text (.rtf) format. Use Command-comma to bring up Preferences and ensure that the plain text radio button is checked.

Once your text is highlighted in TextEdit, (by pressing Comand-A) you then encrypt using Shift-Command-E. You will then be presented with a list of keys to encrypt to, that you have added to your PGP keyring:

Other Commands You May Need:

OpenPGP: Decrypt File: Control-Command-D

OpenPGP: Encrypt File: Control-Command-E

OpenPGP: Sign File: Control-Command-S

OpenPGP: Verify Signature of File: Control-Command-V

Once you have setup these shortcuts, you can begin using GPG.

To encrypt a message to someone using GPG, you first need a copy of the recipient's PGP public key.

Once you have located someone's PGP public key, you should copy and paste it into TextEdit. Save the PGP key to a file; you can call the file, import.asc (or import.txt), for example. This saved file will usually be found in the Documents folder.

Launch GPG Keychain Access from the Applications folder. click on the Import icon in the upper left hand corner. GPG Keychain Access will then prompt you for the name of the file which contains the key to import. It will usually show you a list of files in the Documents folder. Click on the file named import.asc (or import.txt), and click ok. The PGP public key will then be imported into your PGP keyring.

To encrypt a message to a person, the message must be contained in a TextEdit document. Use Command-A to hightlight the entire document. Then use Shift-Command-E to encrypt. GPG will pop-up a list of public keys in your PGP keyring. Each key will have a little checkbox beside it which you can check, to select that particular key. If you were encrypting a message to me, you would put a check in the box beside my PGP key.

When you click on OK, the plaintext (unencrypted) message in TextEdit will be replaced with the encrypted message. You can then copy and paste the encrypted message to enter it into a form on Silk Road, or anywhere else that it needs to go.

To decrypt a message sent to you by other people, you need to copy that message to the clipboard, and paste it into a TextEdit document. Again use Command-A to highlight all the encrypted message. Then use Shift-Command-D to decrypt the message. If the message is encrypted to your PGP public key, you will be prompted to enter your passphrase. Once the correct passphrase has been entered, and you click OK, then the message will be decrypted, and the decrypted text will be placed in the TextEdit document, replacing the encrypted message that was there previously.

Sounds like you might need a registry editor to clean your registry after removing your previously installed version of GPG Suite or have some malicious software you'll need to identify and remove. If your using the executable that came with the latest version of GPGTools that you recently downloaded then I think you have another problem other than the new software trying to use the installer from the current version you have installed on your Mac. Download and run CCleaner for Mac (the free version) from here -

https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download?mac

which will clean your Mac of things such as your cache memory, cookies, browser history, etc in Safari and permanently wipe your trash files, system logs, user downloads, etc, clogging up your Mac and slowing down it's performance. It also has an option to make changes to certain system applications such as shutting down any processes still running in the background.

Download and install a malware removal program which will identify and remove all malware, spyware, adware, trojans, worms, tracking cookies, browser hijackers, viruses, etc from your Mac. Your anti-virus software may not detect some of these malicious software programs designed to either cause havoc to the poor user or extract sensitive information from the end user without their knowledge.

Sorry mate but I started typing this and thought to myself "fuck it's way too long". Then I thought I had virtually finished it anyway so I just posted it.
