DESCRIPTION
The GNU Privacy Guard

GnuPG is a command line tool without any graphical user interface.
It is an universal crypto engine which can be used directly from
a command line prompt, from shell scripts, or from other programs.
Therefore GnuPG is often used as the actual crypto backend of other
applications.

     Full CMS/X.509 (S/MIME) implementation.
     Ssh-agent implementation
