GnuPG? Gpg4win?

The aim of GnuPG and the Gpg4win Initiative 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.)

Mid 2016 the concept for web key directory/service introduced a way towards a much better user experience.
