Package description for 'gnupg'

The GNU Privacy Guard

 GnuPG is GNU's tool for secure communication and data storage.
 It can be used to encrypt data and to create digital signatures.
 It includes an advanced key management facility and is compliant
 with the proposed OpenPGP Internet standard as described in RFC2440.

 Because GnuPG does not use use any patented algorithm it cannot be
 compatible with PGP2 versions.  PGP 2.x uses IDEA (which is patented
 worldwide).

 The default algorithms are DSA and ElGamal.  ElGamal for signing
 is still available, but because of the larger size of such
 signatures it is deprecated (Please note that the GnuPG
 implementation of ElGamal signatures is *not* insecure).  Symmetric
 algorithms are: 3DES, Blowfish, CAST5 and Twofish (GnuPG does not
 yet create Twofish encrypted messages because there is no agreement
 in the OpenPGP WG on how to use it together with a MDC algorithm)
 Digest algorithms available are MD5, RIPEMD160 and SHA1.
