Diplomat OpenPGP Community Edition is a free, automated file encryption software tool developed by Coviant Software. It is designed to help organizations handle automated PGP cryptography natively on their local networks without requiring manual scripting. Core Capabilities
Cryptographic Operations: Automates OpenPGP file encryption, decryption, signing, and signature verification.
Key Management: Built-in tools to create, import, and export OpenPGP keys, ensuring compatibility with standard third-party PGP utilities.
Local Automation: Supports turn-key scheduling options to automatically process files across local networks.
Secure Database: Utilizes a centralized, encrypted transaction database to safeguard stored credentials, passwords, and passphrases.
Backup & Recovery: Includes built-in mechanisms to backup and restore the transaction database for fast disaster recovery. Important Constraints
No Support: The product is provided strictly “as is” with no technical support from the vendor.
Network Limits: File automation is restricted to local network directories (it does not include the advanced cloud, SFTP, or remote agent capabilities found in their paid tiers).
Upgrade Path: It shares the same architecture as the commercial Coviant Diplomat MFT (Managed File Transfer) suite. If your requirements grow to include external secure transfers (like SFTP, FTPS, or HTTPS) or cloud storage integration (AWS, Azure, etc.), the configuration can seamlessly upgrade to the Basic, Standard, or Enterprise editions.
Are you looking to solve a specific compliance need (like HIPAA or PCI-DSS), or do you need help comparing this tool against alternative free PGP command-line utilities? Coviant Software Diplomat OpenPGP Community Edition User Guide
