NEXTGEN WIDGET ENCRYPT (NGWE) is a premier GUI for OpenPGP cryptography encryption tool designed to secure your communications and prevent unauthorized access to digital information, protecting data on computers and over the Internet using Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to encrypt, decrypt, revoke and manage digital encryption keys.
With NGWE you can generate encryption RSA, ElGamal and Elliptic Curve keys in a secure environment. NGWE allows you to import, export keys, encrypt files, folders and digitally sign encrypted files as well as work with X.509 certificates.
The program interface is very easy to understand and use. Comes with easy to understand help file.
Features:
- OpenPGP key generation many options and HASH algorithms.
- RSA key sizes 1024, 2048, 3072 and 4096.

- NextGen Widget Encrypt combines cutting-edge cryptography with a modern, responsive design—making secure communication both powerful and effortless.
The US Department of Defense (DoD) uses RSA-2048 and SHA-256, but will stop using it December 31st, 2027 and will transition to using at least RSA-3072 (4096 is preferred) and SHA-384 cryptographic algorithms. However, the DoD will maintain backward compatibility with DoD's current RSA-2048/SHA-256 PKI credentials. NGWE is ahead of the curve.
