As you can see from the - version number, the program may have some bugs and some features may not - work at all. + GnuPG is GNU's tool for secure communication and data storage. + It can be used to encrypt data and to create digital signatures. + It includes an advanced key management facility and is compliant + with the proposed OpenPGP Internet standard as described in RFC2440. . - Due to the fact that GnuPG does not use use any patented algorithm, - it cannot be compatible to old PGP versions, because those use - IDEA (which is worldwide patented) and RSA (which is patented in - the United States until Sep 20, 2000). - . - GnuPG is in almost all aspects compatible with other OpenPGP - implementations. The default algorithms are DSA and ELGamal. - Symmetric algorithms are: Blowfish and CAST5, Digest algorithms are - MD5, RIPEMD160, SHA1 and TIGER/192. + GnuPG does not use use any patented algorithms so it cannot be + compatible with PGP2 because it uses IDEA (which is patented + worldwide) and RSA. RSA's patent expired on the 20th September 2000, + and it is now included in GnuPG. |
