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 gpg2. gpgv*is a stripped down version of *gpg2 with no encryption functionality, used only to verify signatures against a trusted keyring. gpgsm is the X.509/CMS (for S/MIME) counterpart of gpg2. gpg-agent is a passphrase and private key daemon which may also emulate the ssh-agent.

*gpg*(1), *gpg2*(1), *gpgv*(1), *gpgsm*(1), *gpg-agent*(1), *dirmngr*(8), *scdaemon*(1)

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.
