Pretty Good Privacy
Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) is another application of cryptographic technologies. Using public
key encryption, PGP is one of the most widely recognized cryptosystems in the world.
PGP has been used to protect the privacy of e-mail, data, data storage, and other forms of
communication such as instant messaging.
Early versions of PGP were written by its creator Philip Zimmermann and
first offered to the public in 1991. The program is one example of an open
source application and as such has several different versions available,
with everyone having an opinion about which is best.
