  GNU Privacy Guard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.

 Global Prosperity Group - IGP - Investors International
The GPG trust system being absolutely bogus, Anderson relied on the MLMers who flocked to GPG reading "scripts" (prepared speeches to be read over the phone to new prospects) as well as audiotapes and a bunch of glossy materials which would have been laughed at by any tax attorney or legal academician.
GPG, as it was known, is a version of an MLM scam known as the “aussie-2-up”, basically because it offers two levels to which a network marketer could climb if they scammed enough people OR that suckers who mistakenly thought the GPG seminars and materials were valuable, could buy into.
GPG was famous for suggestions that its network marketers spam e-mails like crazy, advertise in newspapers, etc., and then when a prospective dupe would call, a long “script” would be read over the telephone which extolled the virtues of GPG as a tax-free “business opportunity” that would lead many to riches.

 Front and Back: KPGP and GPG LG #104   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
GPG is a common component in a Linux system - almost all package utilities use it for verification, for example.
You need to give GPG some way of identifying which key you wish to create a certificate for - GPG can make use of several key pairs, which is useful if you want to keep separate identities for work and private use, or if you use a pseudonym for whatever reason.
GPG will prompt you with each signature in turn; type 'y', 'n', or 'q' followed by 'Enter' to delete, skip a signature, or leave the delsig mode, respectively.

GPG can sign your e-mails, anybody who got your public key (those terms will be explainde shortly) can verify that the signed e-mail he receveid from you really came from you.
Of course gpg can encript e-mails or files but this is outside the scope of this document.
You may have noticed that the last eight caracters of your key are the same as your user ID, so if you need to share your key with somebody, this person only to enter your ID and check if the fingerprint is the same as the one you gave him.

 ActiveWebHost.com - Web Hosting Manual - PGP/GPG Encryption Tools
GPG will show you the details of the key for sales@yoursite.com and ask you if you really want to sign it.
Now that you have finished using your GPG secret key ring (for the time being) you may like to consider downloading it to a safe place on your hard drive and deleting it from your server to minimize the chance of it being compromised.
Because setting up GPG can be challenging and sometimes difficult, we strongly encourage you to test and retest before make a form public or live.

 Mac GNU Privacy Guard   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
Mac GNU Privacy Guard (Mac GPG for short) is, after a fashion, the Mac OS X port of GnuPG, licensed under the GNU GPL.
There is also a users list for anyone to discuss the use of Mac GPG and also carries any messages sent to announce.
And, writing of development, to stay up to date on Mac GPG's development, you may want to subscribe to the commits list, which sends out a message every time something is committed to Mac GPG's CVS tree.

 LWN: The Grumpy Editor, graphical mail clients, and GPG
In this mode, GPG formats the message with some surrounding header information and the whole assembly is transmitted as a simple, text/plain message.
Given the history of the old format, and the clear superiority of the new format (which is more flexible, less dependent on GPG in particular, and can encrypt attachments), it really seems that a proper client should, at this time, support both.
If you leave the GPG ID field blank, Evolution will attempt to use the email address of the sender; manually specifying it is not required, but allowed if your name or email address don't match the GPG ID you want to use.

 GPG Installation
gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
Gpg couldn't generate my 1024 bit keys because the operating system couldn't generate enough "entropy." The program advised me to hit the keyboard to generate more entropy, but I still came up 300 bits short.
I then exported my key to an ASCII file so I could publish it on a web page: gpg --output mypublickey.txt --armor --export 05226046, then retrieved Dr. Newby's public key by ftp'ing the text file from blue and importing it to my keyring with gpg --import gbnspubkey.txt.

 AntiOnline - GPG on Windows for dummies   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
GPG is the the GNU version of PGP which is the most known and used cryptographic software around the world (generally in order to encrypt emails and various datas or to prove that you are really who you pretend to be).
The command is gpg --gen-key and the creation is performed by an interactive process which will guide you through the different steps (the choice of algorithms, key sizes, passwords and so on.
The most commons are gpg -s [message] to sign and compress, gpg --clearsign [message] to simply sign, and gpg -b [message] to create a detached signature from the file.

 IP-WARS.NET || An Overview of GPG
Now of course he realizes he may want others to be able to use gpg to communicate with him, or to verify his messages, so he needs a way to pull his key out of his keyring.
gpg will either stop when it finds the first valid matching part in an id or, more often depending on the operation, pull all matching ids from the keyrings; it is not necessary to type in (as you could, in quotes) "bill blather (bill) " if "bill" is sufficiently distinctive.
If you leave off the recipient flag gpg will prompt you for the recipient and you can specify multiple recipients as it will continue to prompt until you enter a blank line; in such case gpg will build a merged key and each recipient will be able to independently decipher the message.

GPG will then confirm you wish to create the revoke certificate, and then prompt you to explain why you wish to revoke the key.
The second icon on the tool bar that relates to GPG is a pad lock.
The downside to encryption is that you must import the recipient's public key to your key ring (much like we did prior to signing a key in the previous section) before you will be able to send them an encrypted message.

GPG can be used via the command line or via a graphical mail program very easily.
The first and simplest way to use gpg is to use the command line version of gpg to encrypt or digitally sign emails.
The -s option tells gpg that you wish to digitally sign an input file (or text you type on the console).

 How-To for Securing Documents with GPG
GPG is a tool that allows you to secure files for exchange with other users of GPG, as well as to verify the source of a file that has been signed or encrypted using GPG.
To verify files sent to you by other GPG users, as well as to encrypt files for sending to those users, you'll need to import their keys.
This makes it an ideal scheme for distribution from a webpage or other shared file space, but is not adequate for sensitive material that should not be accessed by the public.

After building your custom RPM package, it's a good idea to sign the package with your own GPG Key to make sure the package is authentic.
It is a good idea to perform some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number generator a better chance to gain enough entropy.
This file is necessary to import it to your RPM DB and verify a package with gpg key later on.

 Using GnuPG, Part I | Linux Gazette
As I said already when you sign somebody's key you should upload it to the keyserver network because your signature is merged into the key and helps to validate the key and by doing that you enforce security and trust which is very important for this system's efficient and safe use.
gpg --clearsign file command clearsigns the document and gpg --verify doc.asc verifies a signature.
In the mean time enjoy using the GPG and constantly have security in mind.

As is true of all security software, it's particularly important that you keep current, so even if your distribution includes gpg you'll want to check http://www.gnupg.org/ from time to time so you know when new versions are released.
The first time I ran gpgv (which you may recall is a stripped-down version of the gpg command used for verifying signatures) I simply supplied the name of the detached signature I wished to verify.
In the second command, therefore, I ran the regular gpg command with the --recv-keys directive followed by the ID of the key I had been told by gpgv had been used to create the signature.

 SuSE: 'gpg' format string vulnerability - The Community's Center for Security
The error occurs when gpg encounters a filename suffix that is not ".gpg" and prints the filename without the suffix as a default to the terminal.
Werner Koch, the author of the GnuPG package, states that when the "--batch" commandline option is used (such as when verifying rpm packages, see Section 3 of this announcement, or when used in MUAs (Mail User Agent)), the error cannot occur since this option supresses the printout of the filename on the terminal.
As an additional reason to update the package, it should be noted that gnupg 1.0.5 (packages were available on our ftp server) fixed some security-related problems, where one of them could allow an attacker with access to your key ring to compute the private key in considerably less time.

 [Bagheera] gpg-signed bags   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
It would maybe be interesting to allow multiple GPG signatures, for example a signature by the developer and a signature issued by the stability testing group.
The exact infrastructure of distributing the public keys is up to the distribution, any scheme is possible.
I do think thought that GPG verification should be automatic and integrated and that the user should rather be warned about missing public keys and wrong signatures instead of having to execute them manually.
