%%name: GnuPG

%%short-description: Complete implementation of the OpenPGP Internet standard.

%%full-description: A complete and free replacement for PGP. The program does not use any patented algorithms, and can be used as a filter program. Can handle all OpenPGP messages and messages generated by PGP 5.0 and newer unless they use the IDEA algorithm.

Supports ElGamal (signature and encrytion), DSA, AES, 3DES, Blowfish, Twofish, CAST5, MD5, SHA-1, RIPE-MD-160 and TIGER, and has language support for sixteen different languages.

It is believed to be fully OpenPGP (as defined in RFC2440) conform, and has integrated support for HKP keyservers. There are a lot of useful extra features like anonymous message recipients.
