Summary

GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard) is a GNU utility for encrypting data and

creating digital signatures. GnuPG has advanced key management

capabilities and is compliant with the proposed OpenPGP Internet

standard described in RFC2440. Since GnuPG doesn't use any patented

algorithm, it is not compatible with any version of PGP2 (PGP2.x uses

only IDEA for symmetric-key encryption, which is patented worldwide).
