The universal crypto engine

Files

GnuPG enables you to secure your files on Windows, macOS, and Linux using state of the art cryptography. Controlling access to encrypted files or backups is no longer necessary as they are useless without knowing the private key they were encrypted to. Thanks to Public-Key-Cryptography it is also unnecessary to share and store passwords for secured files.

E-Mails

E-Mails are like postcards; unless you encrypt them. GnuPG puts your mails into an envelope and ensures that no one can read them while they are in transfer. “End to End” encryption means that only the sender and the recipient can read the mails. This is different from the usual transfer encryption other products offer.

Identities

Faked identities are the basis for most cyber attacks. With cryptographic signatures you can ensure that your communication partner is authentic. This way GnuPG helps you to keep your systems free of malware and avoids expensive cleanup operations in case of a successful attack. GnuPG can even be used to log into computer systems and websites.

Advantages

Freedom

All our products are Open Source. This means that our source code is published and can be reviewed and modified by anyone. This ensures that you do not bind yourself to a specific vendor. You can be sure that you are able to decrypt and access your data even decades from now.

Flexibility

Our modular architecture with a core crypto engine and multiple frontends can be integrated in any kind of processes. Easy automation is a design goal and our use of standard protocols ensures interoperability with other crypto solutions. GnuPG supports most cipher and authentication algorithms in use and can work with both: OpenPGP and S/MIME.

Reliability

Since its introduction in 1997, GnuPG just works. With such a track record that it has proven to be the standard solution to secure internet infrastructure and services. Nearly all GNU/Linux servers use GnuPG to ensure the integrity of their system.
