Cryptographic key pair used for secure GPG encryption.
GPG Key Definition: Cryptographic key pair used for secure GPG encryption.
A GPG Key is a cryptographic key pair used with GNU Privacy Guard GPG for encrypting and signing data. It includes a public key, which can be shared, and a private key, which must be kept secret. Users can encrypt content with the recipient's public key, ensuring only the private key holder can decrypt it. GPG keys are foundational for secure communication, particularly in email, and in validating software signatures.
