The netpgp command can digitally sign files and verify that the |
| 2 |
signatures attached to files were signed by a given user identifier. |
| 3 |
netpgp can also encrypt files using the public or private keys of |
| 4 |
users and, in the same manner, decrypt files which were encrypted. |

The netpgp utility can also be used to generate a new key-pair for a |
| 7 |
user. This key is in two parts, the public key (which can be used by |
| 8 |
other people) and a private key. |

In addition to these primary uses, the third way of using netpgp is to |
| 11 |
maintain keyrings. Keyrings are collections of public keys belonging |
| 12 |
to other users. By using other means of identification, it is |
| 13 |
possible to establish the bona fides of other users. Once trust has |
| 14 |
been established, the public key of the other user will be signed. |
| 15 |
The other user's public key can be added to our keyring. The other |
| 16 |
user will add our public key to their keyring. |
