GNU Privacy Guard

The GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG or GPG) is a free software replacement for the PGP suite of cryptographic software, released under the GNU General Public License. It is a part of the Free Software Foundation's GNU software project. GPG is completely compliant with the IETF standard for OpenPGP, and is supported by the German government. Current versions of PGP (and Veridis' Filecrypt) are interoperable with GPG and other OpenPGP-compliant systems. Although some older versions of PGP are also interoperable, not all features of newer software are supported by the older software. It is necessary for users to understand those incompatibilities and work around them.
