NAME
       GnuPG - The GNU Privacy Guard suite of programs

DESCRIPTION
       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 gpg.  gpgv is
       a stripped down version of gpg with  no  encryption  func-
       tionality,  used  only  to  verify  signatures  against  a
       trusted keyring.  There is also a tool called gpgsplit  to
       split  OpenPGP  messages  or keyrings into their component
       packets.  This is mainly useful  for  seeing  how  OpenPGP
       messages are put together.
