How to Encrypt and Decrypt files using PGP

PGP uses public key cryptography for encryption and decryption. After installation of PGP, you would first need to generate a PGP public-private keypair. If you want to send an encrypted document to someone, you would need to encrypt the document using the recipient’s public key and send it to her. Please find below how to encrypt and decrypt files using PGP.
