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 gpg2. gpgvis a stripped down version of gpg2
with no encryption functionality, used only to verify signatures
against a trusted keyring. gpgsm is the X.509/CMS (for S/MIME)
counterpart of gpg2. gpg-agent is a passphrase and private key daemon
which may also emulate the ssh-agent.
