About:
GPA (GNU Privacy Assistant) is a graphical user interface for GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard), used for managing keys and encrypting/decrypting files.

Key Features:
  • Keyring management (generate, import, export, and delete keys)
  • File encryption and decryption with a graphical interface
  • Digital signature creation and verification
  • Key server interaction for searching and retrieving public keys
Use Cases:
  • Managing personal PGP keys for secure email communication
  • Encrypting sensitive files for secure storage or transfer
  • Verifying the authenticity of downloaded software packages
Alternatives:
  • GPG Suite – A more modern and feature-rich macOS integration for GnuPG, often preferred on that platform.
  • Kleopatra – The key manager for KDE, part of Kleopatra, offering similar functionality for Linux and Windows.
