Description: GNU privacy guard - a free PGP replacement.
|
||||
GnuPG is the GNU encryption and signing tool. As you can see from the
|
||||
version number, the program may have some bugs and some features may not
|
||||
work at all.
|
||||
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.
|
||||
.
|
||||
Due to the fact that GnuPG does not use use any patented algorithm,
|
||||
it cannot be compatible to old PGP versions, because those use
|
||||
IDEA (which is worldwide patented) and RSA (which is patented in
|
||||
the United States until Sep 20, 2000).
|
||||
.
|
||||
GnuPG is in almost all aspects compatible with other OpenPGP
|
||||
implementations. The default algorithms are DSA and ELGamal.
|
||||
Symmetric algorithms are: Blowfish and CAST5, Digest algorithms are
|
||||
MD5, RIPEMD160, SHA1 and TIGER/192.
|
||||
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.
