=== 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 [[https://fsfe.org/about/basics/freesoftware.en.html|Free Software]].)

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

=== Wiki Theme

==== 2022: New Theme

In 2022 we decided that we need a new theme for the wiki that represents GnuPG better than the default theme at that time (memodump). That is why we created the theme "gnupg-org-wiki-theme" and made it the new default. Here are some details about the new theme:

*Based on the theme memodump
*Main changes:
**On pages whose URL begins with "h~ttps://wiki.gnupg.org/Gpg4win" the logo of Gpg4win is also shown
**Color of the top bar
**Transparent hover effects
**Messages (when editing or canceling editing) have different colors and higher contrast
**Updated Bootstrap to 3.4.1 (memodump used 3.2.0)
*How to use it:
**Click on your name in the top bar.
**Click on **Settings**.
**Click on **Preferences**.
**Under **Preferred theme** select **gnupg-org-wiki-theme**.
**Click on **Save** at the bottom.
