GPG = GNU Privacy Guard.
GPG is a PGP work-a-like .. doesn't support RSA (yet) due to the patents, but once they run out, GPG will use it. I think it uses Blowfish (and CAST?) for the symmetric algorithms, and probably 3DES too. I dunno about IDEA .. I have my doubts due to the patents.
Actually, GPG has been a PGP-look-similar-but-not-interoperate-like rather tha a workalike. Unless GPG has been updated lately, GPG keys tend to do Very Crashy Things to my PGP 5.5.x Thanks! Bill Bill Stewart, bill.stewart@pobox.com PGP Fingerprint D454 E202 CBC8 40BF 3C85 B884 0ABE 4639
