The Gpg4win Compendium consists of three parts:
Part 1 "For Novices" provides a brief guide for the installation and daily use of Gpg4win program components. The practice robot Adele will help you with this process and allow you to practice the de- and encryption process (using OpenPGP) until you have become familiar with Gpg4win.
The amount of time required to work through this brief guide will
depend on your knowledge of your computer and Windows.
It should take about one hour.
Part 2
"For Advanced Users" provides background information which
illustrates the basic mechanisms on which Gpg4win is based, and also
explains some of its less commonly used capabilities. Part I and II can be
used independently of each other. However, to achieve an optimum
understanding, you should read both parts in the indicated sequence,
if possible.
The Annex contains details regarding the specific technical
issues surrounding Gpg4win, including the GpgOL Outlook program
extension.
Just like the cryptography program package Gpg4win, this compendium was
not written for mathematicians, secret service agents or
cryptographers, but rather was written to be read and
understood by anyone.
