GnuPG - The GNU Privacy Guard suite of programs
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. gpgsm is the X.509/CMS (for S/MIME)
counterpart of gpg. gpg-agent is a passphrase and private key daemon
which may also emulate the ssh-agent.

The full documentation for this tool is maintained as a Texinfo
manual. If GnuPG and the info program are properly installed at your
site, the command
info gnupg
should give you access to the complete manual including a menu
structure and an index.
