32 The <application>GnuPG</application> package is GNU's tool for
33 secure communication and data storage. It can be used to encrypt data and
34 to create digital signatures. It includes an advanced key management
35 facility and is compliant with the proposed OpenPGP Internet standard as
36 described in RFC2440 and the S/MIME standard as described by several RFCs.
37 GnuPG 2 is the stable version of GnuPG integrating support for OpenPGP and
38 S/MIME.
