Can > you natively use GnuPG? yes, you can use GnuPG natively build on Windows, either with a graphical or a command line interface. The official distribution of GnuPG is included in www.gpg4win.org For some use cases, there is also a crypto-engine only "simple" installer availalbe from https://gnupg.org/download/index.html see section of binary releases on this page. > Or is it limited to the few implementations of it > through Kleapatra/etc.?pgp. Kleopatra is one of several applications that use the native GnuPG installation on Windows. The Outlook add-in, the explorer plugin also use it. (Because GnuPG implements open standards like OpenPGP or the Cryptographic Message Syntax, it is interoperable with other implementations of those standards.) > I was using Mailvelope, and I could not get the Mailvelope app to recognize > I was using GnuPG. It kept saying OpenPGP. I am confused. Mailvelope uses an OpenPGP implementation called OpenPGP.js by default, because it is fully implemented in Javascript. There is the possibility to use GnuPG as backend to Mailvelope, but you need to activate it, see https://github.com/mailvelope/mailvelope/wiki/Mailvelope-GnuPG-integration (Both backend "OpenPGP.js" and "GnuPG" implement "OpenPGP". :) ) Best Regards, Bernhard -- www.intevation.de/~bernhard +49 541 33 508 3-3 Intevation GmbH, Osnabrück, DE; Amtsgericht Osnabrück, HRB 18998 Geschäftsführer Frank Koormann, Bernhard Reiter, Dr. Jan-Oliver Wagner
