 The Ultimate GNU Privacy Guard Dog Breeds Information Guide and Reference
GPG is completely compliant with the IETF standard for OpenPGP, and is supported by the German government.
Note that, because the plugin mechanism is not part of GPG itself and not specified by the Open PGP standard, and because neither the GPG nor Open PGP developers were involved in their development, it is possible that GPG's security benefits could be compromised or even lost as a result of using such auxiliaries.
GPG is a hybrid encryption software program in that it uses a combination of conventional symmetric-key cryptography for speed, and public-key cryptography for ease of secure key exchange, typically by using the recipient's public key to encrypt a session key which is only used once.

 GNU Privacy Guard
Privacy is the right of people to control what details about their lives stay inside their own homes and what they share with the rest of the world.
Privacy isn't about wanting to watch porno over the net, but about the man/woman who's afraid to use the Internet to organize her community against a proposed toxic waste dump -- afraid because the dump's investors are sure to dig through her past if she becomes too much of a nuisance.
Privacy is about good, honest, and honorable citizens that refuse to enter public service because they don't want a bloodthirsty press (or other party) rummaging through their old school reports, computerized medical records, and email.

GNU Privacy Guard is available for free from www.gnupg.org for a variety of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, many other flavors of Unix, and Mac OS X. 2.1 Installing in Windows
GPG will then use all of those individuals’ public keys to encrypt the data in such a way that any one of their private keys (and no one else’s) can decrypt the data.

 Gnu Privacy Guard and Pretty Good Privacy
If you already know how to use GPG and/or PGP, then all you need is to get a public key of mine here and send me one of yours, and we can verify each other's digital signatures and encrypt private email to each other.
Gnu Privacy Guard is a re-write of PGP with code released under the Gnu Public License, and not using the Idea encryption algorithm, so that it can be truly free.
It turns out that Gnu Privacy Guard is more compatible with the OpenPGP standard than the original Pretty Good Privacy is. PGP has a more polished windows interface, but the command line version is no longer sold.

 Slashdot | An Introduction to GNU Privacy Guard
GPG was easy to setup (on our Macs, even!) and now I don't have to worry about whether or not the script kiddie down the road can sniff the private messages I send to my wife.
GnuPG's (shouldn't that be GNUPG since GNU is an acronym?) ease of use and its (almost) seamless connectivity with most Linux communications applications allows the average workplace user to encrypt documents and files, preventing PR-disasteresque leaks -- such as the recent leak of the salary details of Lycos' staff to InternalMemos.com..
GPG only runs from the command line meaning apps that wish to call it have to construct a command-line, invoke gpg and parse the results in a pipe.

 CNN - GNU launches free encryption tool - September 9, 1999
Because GnuPG does not use patented algorithms such as IDEA (International Data Encryption Algorithm), as well as the fact that it was developed outside of the U.S., it is not subject to export restrictions as PGP is, the group said.
Privacy Guard works on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD systems, and although it was not written with Microsoft Corp.'s Windows and Windows NT systems in mind, it has been ported to those systems with positive results, according to Youmans.
The GNU Project, based in Boston, Massachusetts, was launched in 1984 to develop a free Unix-like operating system, called GNU/Linux.

 An Introduction to GNU Privacy Guard (Part 1)
GNU Privacy Guard, or GnuPG (http://www.gnupg.org/), is the open-source equivalent of Philip Zimmermann's PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) encryption/authentication software released under GPL.
As there is already very fine documentation for GnuPG, including the man page, The GNU Privacy Handbook, the GnuPG mini-HOWTO and the GnuPG FAQs, I won't go into great detail on all the many command-line operations or configuration settings.
When most people talk about privacy and strong encryption in the same sentence, they often think the only people needing such things must be doing something wrong, illegal, or involved with government espionage.

 Pretty geeky privacy - Salon
Koh considers everything that passes across the Internet -- e-mail, mailing list postings, Web pages -- as no more private than postcards that can be read by anyone along their path.
But the story of how GnuPG is coming to the cryptogeek rescue also illuminates some of the limitations of open-source, or free software.
And making a software program easy to use is exactly the challenge that open-source software has historically been weakest at meeting.
