Or at the same time as the above operations, +you can add your own signature to let others know that this document or this paragraph of text was issued by you. + +Furthermore, it visualizes most of the common operations of gpg commands.

Free software belongs to the common wealth of all mankind, but there +are still many people who cannot use these wealths due to the limitation of knowledge and usage habits. We should break +this pattern. GpgFrontend is committed to improving the ease of use and intuitiveness of the free software GnuPG, so +that more and more people can use it. + +The GpgFrontend project is as open source, and it also insists on using open source codes and libraries. + +### Free forever + +GpgFrontend will be free forever, and you don't need to worry about being asked to pay a fee to use the software one +day. + +## Source Code + +The original code repository of Gpg Frontend is hosted on the server of Codes Dream, and each submission will be +submitted to the code repository first.
