Quote from: Weedb on September 06, 2012, 04:38 pmDoes GPG = PGP ?Both GPG and PGP are implementations of OpenPGP (the protocol which sets the standard for all implementations). PGP was the first, created by Phil Zimmermann which is why the name is used for everything. PGP is a proprietary software package currently owned by Symantec. GPG is a free software package written by g10/Werner Koch in Germany.
