| GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard) - open source implementation of PGP, compatible with the standards of OpenPGP (RFC 2440). GnuPG allows to encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify email messages using the key pair (RSA by default). The most frequent use of GnuPG - to encrypt e-mail and verify the signature files have been laid out for download. But it is possible to use in other protocols: for example, PSI (Jabber-Client) supports GnuPG encryption and allows the thread talks. Consider the installation and initial setup GnuPG for three operating systems: Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Assumes that the reader has sufficient knowledge to perform multiple commands at the console OS (CMD / Terminal / xterm, respectively). DownloadWindows: gpg4win-2.0.1.exe - ready to build GnuPG + GUI + Claws-Mail.
