This is the official Wiki for GnuPG, the GNU Privacy Guard, and all related Free Software initiatives like Gpg4win. Their aim is to produce software solutions to
- enable 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.
The next big user experience boost for email security would be the adoption of the STEED concept.

- API checker: Upstream-Tracker.org checks ABI/API changes for some libraries like gpgme, libgpg-error, libgcrypt.
Note that the tools can't necessary decide whether something is an ABI or API change. The output should be used as a hint to look for whether there might be a problem. We are not aware of any broken API or ABI contracts for the listed libraries.
