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  gpg2.   gpgvis  a
       stripped  down  version  of  gpg2  with  no  encryption functionality, used only to verify
       signatures against a trusted keyring.  gpgsm is the X.509/CMS (for S/MIME) counterpart  of
       gpg2.  gpg-agent  is  a  passphrase and private key daemon which may also emulate the ssh-
       agent.
