KBX files are keybox files for the GNU Privacy Guard program. The common KBX filename is pubring.kbx. It is stored in the .gnupg directory. KBX files contain public keys, certificates, and indices. You cannot directly open KBX files. Use GNU Privacy Guard’s kbxutil to view KBX file information. The KBX file extension associates with the OpenPGP standard. It allows encrypting, signing, and decrypting messages and data. Software compatible with KBX files installs on Windows. The GNU Privacy Guard program manages KBX files.
To check if a KBX file is infected, scan it with antivirus software. Then follow recommended actions like deleting infected files. Check your permissions to access KBX files as the operating system user too. The Windows Registry associates KBX file extensions with software. But you can use text editors for KBX files containing only text.
