This document is focused on the second group, application developers, who use OpenPGP functionality in their software projects. It describes the properties of the OpenPGP system and its uses. It presupposes solid knowledge of software development concepts and of general cryptographic concepts. Thus, this text describes OpenPGP at the "library-level," teaching concepts that will help software developers get started as a user of any implementation (e.g., [OpenPGP.js](https://openpgpjs.org/), [Sequoia-PGP](https://sequoia-pgp.org/)).
