Is it possible to implement OpenGPG support into LibreOffice? There is a user case: user may have an access to certain file and anybody else may not. It is comfortable to use OpenGPG right in LibreOffice, is not it?

There's been some work on signing and certificates lately. It's possible that this idea could build on top of what's been done there. Status -> NEW This is an enhancement, so Severity -> enhancement Missing version, so I'll guess Version -> 4.4.0.3
Support for signing using gpg keys has been added to LO 5.4 (Linux only so far). Encryption using gpg is planned for 6.0.
If you need anyone to test functionality on Mac, please send me a heads up. I run macos 10.12.6 with GPGtools 2017.1b3 (gpgtools.org) so baseline support is available, and I'm about to update my LO install to 5.4, UK language pack. Note that I'm not a developer but happy to contribute in the form of feedback, diagnostics, bad humour etc - I think PGP integration for doc signing as well as doc confidentiality is a good goal as it's a fully open and documented process, and ECDSA sign verification does not really work that well across national borders (that's a diplomatic problem, not a code issue :) ).

I understand, however, I think I was not specific enough. Testing the newly launched LO 6.0, it is possible to encrypt documents with previously created keys (and can be open with the password defined in the key), however, I was referring to the possibility of creating documents with symmetric encryption adding a password on demand. My use case is to be able to share documents with agnostic encryption, since third party applications have ODF support, but not their native encryption (eg softmaker office). I currently do this using "seahorse nautilus plugin", but it was a good opportunity to do it natively in LO.

Note also that encrypting documents by providing a password is possible in LibreOffice since many years.
Am running mac osx 10.13.3 with LO 6.0.1.1 and GPG Suite 2018.1 (gpgtools.org). No Digital signatures are listed in File/Digital Signatures/Digital Signatures even though I have a valid OpenPGP key (Usable in Mail.app). Clicking on Start Certificate manager, I get an error "Could not find any certificate manager". Are there any additional steps to be used after installing LO and the GPG suite?
@Kysh: I'd be glad to point you to documentation but it doesn't seem updated. I requested it. Shouldn't be here because it's not a general problem, I have it working in Windows. Please first try also with master https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/. And if repro again submit a new bug, at first marked as MacOS. Please CC @Fred there.
Cheers, although I have to remark that I'm as yet unable to do any v6 testing - I have also been bitten by the OpenCL bug (6 keeps crashing and then hanging on doc recovery) and I had to revert to the latest v5 to get any work done. I'll wait for a week (and get some work done :) ), then pull the latest public version and see what happens.
@Fred raised a new bug 116638 after following @Timur suggestions. Still no luck. Available to test any time.
