NAME¶
GnuPG - The GNU Privacy Guard suite of programs
DESCRIPTION¶
GnuPG is a set of programs for public key encryption and digital signatures. The
program most users will want to use is the OpenPGP command line tool, named
gpg.
gpgv is a stripped down version of
gpg with no
encryption functionality, used only to verify signatures against a trusted
keyring. There is also a tool called
gpgsplit to split OpenPGP messages
or keyrings into their component packets. This is mainly useful for seeing how
OpenPGP messages are put together.
