Frequently Asked Questions

Is PGP Key Generator free?

Yes, PivaBox PGP Key Generator is completely free to use. There are no charges, subscriptions, or hidden fees.

Are my keys uploaded to a server?

No. All key generation happens entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API (SubtleCrypto). Your keys never leave your device.

What is the difference between RSA and ECC keys?

RSA keys have broad compatibility across systems and software, but are slower to generate (especially 4096-bit) and produce larger keys. ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) keys are modern, generate instantly, are much smaller, and provide equivalent security with better performance. P-256 provides ~128-bit security (comparable to RSA-3072), while P-384 provides ~192-bit security.
