PGP

PGP – Overview and Usage in Conbool

PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is a flexible, decentralized standard for encrypting and digitally signing emails.
Unlike S/MIME, PGP is not based on central certificate authorities but on a Web of Trust, where users mutually certify each other's keys.

PGP Features

1. Encryption
   • Protects the content of your messages from unauthorized access.
   • Only recipients with the matching private key can decrypt the email.
   • Particularly suitable for sensitive documents or personal data.
2. Digital Signature
   • Ensures that the message has not been altered.
   • Allows the recipient to verify the authenticity of the sender.
