Basics

PGP is software built as an e-mail encryption tool by Phil Zimmermann, where parties are represented by their public key.
Its message format is described in RFC 4880.
- gnupg.org - GPG/GnuPG
- GnuPG is a command line tool without any graphical user interface. It is an universal crypto engine
which can be used directly from a command line prompt, from shell scripts, or from other programs.
On Linux
- Gnome Keyring
- a collection of components in GNOME that store secrets, passwords, keys, certificates and make them available to applications
- integrated with the user's login, so that secret storage can be unlocked when the user logs in
- based on PKCS#11
- Gnome Seahorse - an application for managing PGP and SSH keys and passwords in the GNOME Keyring
- GPG in Evolution
- Key generation either through Seahorse or by 'gpg2 –full-gen-key'
On Windows
- gpg4win.org - GPG for Windows - email and file encryption
- Installs locally at C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin
- Sign files or folders from Windows Explorer with GpgEX or Kleopatra
- Comes with Microsoft Outlook plugin GpgOL to sign and encrypt emails and attachments. Verification and decrytion directly in Outlook.
- Executable gpg4win-3.1.11.exe exists separately but is also part of Libre Office
