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.
