Beyond the basics, managing certificates, as well as understanding their authentication and trust models, are crucial topics. Though this document will only briefly touch on these aspects, they constitute an integral part of working with OpenPGP.

### High-Level operations
With OpenPGP it's possible to:
- [Encrypt](encryption_chapter) and [Decrypt](decryption_chapter) Messages
- [Sign](signing_data) and [Verify](verification_chapter) Data
- [Issue and examine Statements](certifications_chapter) about Keys and Identities (to perform CA-like functionality)
### Building blocks ### Building blocks
To perform these high-level operations, a set of [established cryptographic mechanisms](cyrptography_chapter) are used as building blocks, and combined into OpenPGP's format, which additionally deals with identities and their verification.
