In url this video, I explain what PGP and GPG are, how they are related to the OpenPGP standard, and how they are used in practice to secure data.

You’ll learn:

  • What PGP and GPG are and how they differ
  • How public-key cryptography works in OpenPGP
  • How to encrypt a file so only the intended recipient can read it
  • How digital signatures work
  • How to verify the authenticity and integrity of a file using GPG

This video is intended for developers and technical learners who want a clear, practical understanding of file encryption and authenticity verification using GPG, without unnecessary complexity.
