Description: GNU privacy guard - a free PGP replacement.
|

|
|
GnuPG is GNU's tool for secure communication and data storage.
|
|
|
|
|
It can be used to encrypt data and to create digital signatures.
|
|
|
|
|
It includes an advanced key management facility and is compliant
|
|
|
|
|
with the proposed OpenPGP Internet standard as described in RFC2440.

GnuPG does not use use any patented algorithms so it cannot be
|
|
|
|
|
compatible with PGP2 because it uses IDEA (which is patented
|
|
|
|
|
worldwide) and RSA. RSA's patent expired on the 20th September 2000,
|
|
|
|
|
and it is now included in GnuPG.
