Hi Kevin,

I suspect this may be resolved by re-exporting your key files from Kleopatra again. The VBO needs two different files exported from Kleopatra to encrypt/decrypt correctly. It is not exactly intuitive that this needs to be done, and the VBO user guide (https://digitalexchange.blueprism.com/dx/entry/9648/solution/bouncy-castle---pgp-utility) was missing this information (I have just updated it with the same steps as below):

Public Key file for Encrypting:
Right-click your key pair and select Export to generate the public key file. Use this file path as the value for [Encryption Key Filepath] input for the Encrypt File action.

Private Key file for Decrypting:
Right-click your key pair again and select Backup Secret Keys to generate the private key file. Use this file path as the value for [Private Key Filepath] input for the Decrypt File action.

I hope this solves the issue - let me know how it turns out.
Cheers
