Gpg4win 2.0.x
Gpg4win is an installer package for Windows (2000/XP/2003/Vista) with computer programs and handbooks for email and file encryption. Both relevant cryptography standards are supported, OpenPGP and S/MIME. Gpg4win and the software included with Gpg4win are Free Software (among other things free of charge for all commercial and non-commercial purposes).You can choose all or some of the following modules during installation:
| GnuPG: | The core; this is the actual encryption tool. |
| Kleopatra: | A certificate manager for OpenPGP and X.509 (S/MIME) and common crypto dialogs. |
| GPA: | Another certificate manager for OpenPGP and X.509 (S/MIME). |
| GpgOL: | A plugin for Microsoft Outlook 2003 and 2007 (email encryption). |
| GpgEX: | A plugin for Microsoft Explorer (file encryption). |
| Claws Mail: | A complete email program including the plugin for GnuPG. |
| Gpg4win Compendium: | The new (German!) documentation about Gpg4win2 (translation already scheduled). |
| Gpg4win for Novices: | The old English handbook about Gpg4win1 (for newbies). |
Gpg4win can be installed and tested with just a few mouse clicks. Of course you should be administrator of your system or have administration rights.
The best point to start is with the illustrative handbook Gpg4win for Novices.
