DESCRIPTION

9       GnuPG is a set of programs for public key encryption and digital signa‐
10       tures.  The program most users will want to use is the OpenPGP  command
11       line  tool,  named gpg.  gpgv is a stripped down version of gpg with no
12       encryption functionality, used only  to  verify  signatures  against  a
13       trusted keyring.  There is also a tool called gpgsplit to split OpenPGP
14       messages or keyrings into their component packets.  This is mainly use‐
15       ful for seeing how OpenPGP messages are put together.
