PGP stands for Pretty Good Privacy. It is an encryption system designed to
provide users with messages/files that are unreadable by anyone other than
the passphrase holder. It also provides authentication of messages, such as
this one, by adding a digital signature (the stuff between BEGIN and END).
The signature is read by a PGP program which compares it to the Public Key
of the user who signed the message. If it passes the test, it can be stated
that the message was written by the holder of the corresponding Secret Key.
(Provided, of course, that PGP is in itself secure, which it is supposed to
be - however there are no guarantees). PGP is a widely used and respected
means of encoding messages.
