I'd have to suggest that you embark on a detailed reading of the PGP
documentation, and then follow the Lycos (or other similar) Web search to a
PGP FAQ of some sort, and read that carefully as well.

The answers to your questions are all very well documented, and the authors
of the documents I've pointed you to can probably do a much better job of
explaining PGP than I can in a single Usenet post.

RTFM.
