GnuPG is GNU's tool for secure communication and data storage. It can be used to encrypt data and to create digital signatures. It includes an advanced key management facility and is compliant with the proposed OpenPGP Internet standard as described in RFC 4880. The gnupg1 package provides GnuPG 1.4, the "classic" standalone, non-modularized version. It is provided mainly for people with the need to use archaic cryptographic objects like PGPv3 keys to access archived messages. It does not support more recent cryptographic primitives like ECDSA or EdDSA. Please use the gnupg2 package instead unless you know for sure that you need GnuPG 1.x.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
Problem reports, updates or suggestions for this package should be reported with send-pr.
