Origins
Introduced in 1991, PGP democratized strong cryptography by enabling ordinary users to protect email and files with industry‑grade security.
About PGP
A comprehensive overview of the origins, standardization processes, and foundational principles underlying Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) and Secure-PGP Tool
OpenPGP Standard
OpenPGP (RFC 4880) defines packets, algorithms, and key management, ensuring that tools can interoperate reliably across platforms.
Core Principles
Hybrid encryption, digital signatures, decentralized trust (Web of Trust), compression with ASCII Armor, and well‑defined key lifecycle controls.
This section outlines the evolution and significance of Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) and Secure-PGP as foundational technologies for secure digital communication. It highlights their origins as pioneering encryption solutions, the standardization processes that enabled global adoption, and the core principles that ensure confidentiality, integrity, and trust in data exchange. By examining their role in modern security frameworks, this overview emphasizes how PGP-based protocols continue to influence best practices in safeguarding sensitive information across diverse platforms.
Regulatory and industry frameworks expect encryption as a baseline control. End‑to‑end protection aligns with data‑protection obligations and hardens open‑finance integrations. When combined with strong key management, secure channels, and hardware‑backed credentials, encryption forms a layered defense capable of resisting credential stuffing, replay attempts, and man‑in‑the‑middle attacks that target payment flows.
Encryption is far more than a technical safeguard—it is a strategic enabler of trust, compliance, and operational continuity in an increasingly digital and regulated business landscape.
