This is the official Wiki for [[http://gnupg.org|GnuPG]], the GNU Privacy Guard, and all related Free Software initiatives like [[http://gpg4win.org|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 and file-transport security** 
would be the adoption of the [[https://g10code.com/steed.html|STEED]] concept. 

This Wiki is about helping users and contributors by providing a central place for [[documentation]], 
links to references and planning. We welcome your contribution!

= For Users

= For Developers

 * How to [[APIs|use GnuPG from your application]].
 * BuildingFromGIT
 * Building GnuPG 2.1: GnuPG 2.1 is the latest GnuPG version but as with all 2.x versions it has several dependencies, which make building it a bit more difficult.  Here are some notes.
 ** [[Build2.1_Unix|Building for Unix]]
 ** [[Build2.1_Windows|Building for Windows]]
 ** [[https://github.com/guardianproject/gnupg-for-android#build-setup|Building for Android]]
 * API checker:
   [[http://upstream-tracker.org/|Upstream-Tracker.org]] checks ABI/API changes for some libraries like [[http://upstream-tracker.org/versions/gpgme.html|gpgme]],
   [[http://upstream-tracker.org/versions/libgpg-error.html|libgpg-error]],
   [[http://upstream-tracker.org/versions/libgcrypt.html|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.
