The GNU Privacy Guard

GnuPG is the GNU project's complete and free implementation of the OpenPGP standard as 
defined by RFC4880 . GnuPG allows to encrypt and sign your data and communication, 
features a versatile key management system as well as access modules for all kinds of 
public key directories. GnuPG, also known as GPG, is a command line tool with features for 
easy integration with other applications. A wealth of frontend applications and libraries are 
available. Version 2 of GnuPG also provides support for S/MIME.

GnuPG is Free Software (meaning that it respects your freedom). It can be freely used, 
modified and distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License .

GnuPG comes in two flavours: 1.4.11 is the well known and portable standalone version, 
whereas 2.0.16 is the enhanced and somewhat harder to build version.

Project Gpg4win provides a Windows version of GnuPG. It is nicely integrated into an 
installer and features several frontends as well as (German) manuals.
