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  gpg.   gpgv  is  a
       stripped  down  version  of  gpg  with  no  encryption  functionality, used only to verify
       signatures against a trusted keyring.  There is also  a  tool  called  gpgsplit  to  split
       OpenPGP  messages  or  keyrings  into  their component packets.  This is mainly useful for
       seeing how OpenPGP messages are put together.
