PGP Message Exchange Formats RFC ( Request for Comments ) 1991, August 1996. This document describes versions 2.x of PGP (Pretty Good Privacy). Specifically, versions 2.6 and 2.7 conform to this specification. Version 2.3 conforms to this specification with minor differences. This RFC 1991 is obsoleted by RFC 4880, but is a perfect starting point to understand the past and present PGP standard. PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) uses a combination of public-key and conventional encryption to provide security services for electronic mail messages and data files. These services include confidentiality and digital signature. PGP is widely used throughout the global computer community. This document describes the format of "PGP files", i.e., messages that have been encrypted and/or signed with PGP.
