Power Automate: Desktop flows - Encrypt and decrypt data with PGP
Summary
This feature introduces PGP-specific encryption and decryption actions that use OpenPGP compatible public and private keys. You can encrypt files or data payloads using a recipient public key and decrypt incoming PGP-encrypted content using a corresponding private key and passphrase.

The feature is not enabled automatically. To use it, you add a PGP encryption or PGP decryption action to your workflow and configure the required keys and passphrase. Encryption or decryption can be disabled by removing the action or controlling execution through conditions, allowing you to precisely manage when PGP cryptography is applied.

You can automatically encrypt and decrypt data using PGP keys, reducing manual handling and human error. This helps you meet security and compliance requirements, speed up integrations with external systems, and…
