What Are The Uses Of Pgp ?

Answer»

The most commonly USED aspect of PGP is the signing and encryption of email or files. “Signing” a document is a way of verifying the integrity of the original WORK. 

The method is as follows:

  1. Make a digest or “hash” of the file or email. A hash is an algorithm that produces (theoretically) a unique output (the hash) from a given input (the message).
  2. ADD the hash to the end of the message.
  3. When someone wants to verify that the message has not been modified, they run the hash algorithm on the message and COMPARE it to the hash at the end of the message. If the signatures match, the message has not been altered.
