What Does PGP Stand For?

PGP stands for Pretty Good Privacy

PGP, or Pretty Good Privacy, is an encryption program designed to provide secure transmission and storage of data via public key cryptography. It ensures confidentiality, authentication, and integrity of information by allowing users to encrypt their communications and files. PGP is widely used for securing emails and sensitive documents, and it allows users to share encryption keys for secure data exchange. Developed in the early 1990s by Phil Zimmermann, PGP has become a standard for privacy protection in digital communications.
