## OpenPGP.js Overview
OpenPGP.js is an implementation of [RFC 4880](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4880).
OpenPGP.js is a JavaScript implementation of the OpenPGP protocol. It implements
[RFC 4880](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4880) and most of the [crypto refresh](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-openpgp-crypto-refresh)
.
And consists of these main building blocks:

## Crypto Refresh Features
A new revision of the OpenPGP spec is currently under development but has not yet been stabilized, its working name is [draft-ietf-openpgp-crypto-refresh](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-openpgp-crypto-refresh)
and its main purpose is to update the algorithms used in OpenPGP to include advances in cryptography since RFC 4880 was published.
A new version of the OpenPGP spec called [crypto-refresh](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-openpgp-crypto-refresh), will be published as an RFC soon.
Its main purpose is to update the algorithms used in OpenPGP to include advances in cryptography since RFC 4880 was published.
With v6 of OpenPGP.js all crypto refresh features will be available:
With v6 of OpenPGP.js most of crypto refresh features will be available:
- support for v6 keys, signatures, and encrypted-session keys & more (behind feature flag openpgp.config.v6Keys)
- support for AEAD-protected encrypted messages (new format, behind feature flag openpgp.config.aeadProtect) - support for Argon2
