8 \- The GNU Privacy Guard suite of programs
12 GnuPG is a set of programs for public key encryption and digital
13 signatures. The program most users will want to use is the OpenPGP
14 command line tool, named @command{gpg2}. @command{gpgv}is a stripped
15 down version of @command{gpg2} with no encryption functionality, used
16 only to verify signatures against a trusted keyring. @command{gpgsm} is
17 the X.509/CMS (for S/MIME) counterpart of
18 @command{gpg2}. @command{gpg-agent} is a passphrase and private key
19 daemon which may also emulate the @command{ssh-agent}.
