OpenPGP
This document describes how to install, configure, and integrate Symantec Encryption Desktop with CipherTrust Manager.
OpenPGP is a key-based encryption method used to encrypt files so that only their intended recipient can receive and decrypt them. OpenPGP is used widely to secure e-mail communications, but its technology can also be applied to FTP. OpenPGP works by using two cryptographic keys to secure files. A Public Key is used to encrypt the file so that only its corresponding Private Key can decrypt it.
