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.
