gpg2
is the OpenPGP part of the GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG). It
is a tool to provide digital encryption and signing services using the
OpenPGP standard. gpg2
features complete key management and
all bells and whistles you can expect from a decent OpenPGP
implementation.
In contrast to the standalone command gpg from GnuPG 1.x, which is
might be better suited for server and embedded platforms, the 2.x
version is commonly installed under the name gpg2
and
targeted to the desktop as it requires several other modules to be
installed.
The old 1.x version will be kept maintained and it is possible to install both versions on the same system. Documentation for the old GnuPG 1.x command is available as a man page and at See (gpg)GnuPG 1.
