33 <para>The <application>GnuPG 2</application> package is GNU's tool for
34 secure communication and data storage. It can be used to encrypt data and
35 to create digital signatures. It includes an advanced key management
36 facility and is compliant with the proposed OpenPGP Internet standard as
37 described in RFC2440 and the S/MIME standard as described by several RFCs.
38 GnuPG 2 is the stable version of GnuPG integrating support for OpenPGP and
39 S/MIME. It does not conflict with an installed <xref linkend="gnupg"/>
40 OpenPGP-only version.</para>
