Various features of the Pretty Good Privacy


For encryption and decryption of data, Pretty good Privacy or PGP program is very popularly used these days. To save the time, PGP encryption is an ideal option. PGP encrypt the data by applying a shorter key and a faster encryption algorithm on it. It uses the combination of data compression, hashing, public key cryptography and symmetric key cryptography.

It helps in sending encrypted messages confidentiality. For this confidentiality, the message is encrypted using a symmetric encryption algorithm. Its session key and encrypted message send to the receiver. Many companies provide Blackberry PGP, Apple PGP, Samsung PGP and a lot of more topmost brands with PGP security. PGP also supports the Digital signatures. As, Digital signatures is a mathematical technique used by the experts to encrypt the data. It supports the authenticity and integrity of a message, files, software, digital document and other important data.

Apart from the digital signatures, PGP also supports the concept of digital certificates. These certificates are issued by a valid certificate authority. It is used to allocate the pair of keys to a valid person. To protect data in long-term data storage, PGP encryption can be used and it also helps in transmit the secured data safely over a network. 

PGP program is crucial for the banking, business, trade, institutions and other relevant areas.
