About this Wiki
The aim of the GnuPG Project and the initiative Gpg4win is to provide software solutions for everyone to
- enable email and file end-to-end security, offering protection against being listened to by servers or transport systems.
- use openly researched crypto algorithms.
- allow the implementations to be independently audited. (Which is achieved by publishing them as Free Software.)
In 2015 a big challenge for a better user experience for email and file-transport security is certificate discovery and trust building. The STEED concept proposes a solution.
