Overview

GNUPG ist ein vollständiger und freier Ersatz von PGP. Da die patentierten RSA und IDEA Verfahren nicht benutzt werden, kann dieses Programm ohne Einschränkungen benutzt werden. GNUPG entstricht den Anforderungen des OpenPGP Vorschlags.

Eigenschaften

Status

GNUPG has now all the features which are expected by such a program.

Supported Systems

GNUPG works fine on GNU/Linux with x86, alpha, sparc64 or m68k CPUs. (x86 is my primary development system, the other CPUs are only checked from time to time)

It compiles okay on GNU/Hurd but because Mach has no random device, it should not be used for real work. It should be easy to add the random device driver from Linux to the Hurd - Anyone?

FreeBSD with x86 CPU works fine. OpenBSD works fine (x86 CPU?).

GNUPG compiles and runs on many more systems, but due to the lack of a good random number source, it should not be used on these systems. I have reports on these systems: HPUX v9.x and v10.x with HPPA CPU, IRIX v6.3 with MIPS R10000 CPU, SunOS, Solaris on sparc and x86, Windoze 95 and WNT with x86 CPUs.
