PentaPGP is the interface for all aspects
of using PGP encryption. This is an additional feature to
simplify encryption/decryption which can be performed through
PentaZip. PGP encryption is also available through the Command
Line interface.
PGP is a public key encryption method. It has become a standard
for encryption of email and files on the Internet and elsewhere.
As the internet is not completely secure from people trying
to obtain personal, private and public information this is
one way you can be assured that your mail or files you send
will be not be tampered with once they have been received
by the intended recipient.
Data that can be read and understood without any special
measures is called plaintext or cleartext. The method of disguising
plaintext in such a way as to hide its contents is called
encryption. The unreadable gibberish produced from encryption
is called ciphertext.
The design above shows how a text gets "locked"
(i.e. encrypted) and then "unlocked" (i.e. decrypted).
