Description :
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.
Because GnuPG does not use any patented algorithm it cannot be compatible with PGP2 versions. PGP 2.x uses only IDEA (which is patented worldwide) and RSA (which is patented in the United States until Sep 20, 2000).
