## Why OpenPGP?
OpenPGP is a widely recognized, IETF-standardized set of cryptographic operations. It is broadly used in securing communications, for example, in encrypted text messages and email, and enjoys a vast ecosystem of libraries, tools, and community support forums. Moreover, its robustness and versatility has made OpenPGP a security choice for other use cases in which encryption is important. These include file transfer applications, password managers, and secure data storage.

It is broadly used in securing communications like encrypted messages and email, as well as the integrity of software packages in most Linux distributions, and enjoys a vast ecosystem of libraries, tools, and community support forums. Moreover, its robustness and versatility has made OpenPGP a security choice for other use cases in which encryption and integrity are important. These include file transfer applications, password managers, secure data storage, and signing source code in git repositories.
