GPG
Protecting directory trees with gpgdir
gpgdir uses GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) to encrypt and decrypt files or a directory tree.

With gpgdir the whole tree is encrypted in one command.

Me and You and a GPG Key Named Boo
“Travellin’ and livin’ off the web…”
I have a GPG key, freshly created a couple of days ago. GPG is the GNU Privacy Guard, also known as GnuPG, used for encryption and digital signatures.
Many people include helpful comments about GPG encryption on a page with their public key and fingerprint. Instead of making similar remarks (which I don’t feel qualified to make), I’ll point to some examples: Karl Fogel, Peter S. May, and Henrik Lund Kramshoej.
