Description-en: GNU privacy guard - signature verification tool (new v2.x)
GnuPG is GNU's tool for secure communication and data storage.
.
gpgv2 is actually a stripped-down version of gpg2 which is only able
to check signatures. It is somewhat smaller than the fully-blown gpg2
and uses a different (and simpler) way to check that the public keys
used to make the signature are valid. There are no configuration
files and only a few options are implemented.
