Title: OpenPGP Message Format

This document is maintained in order to publish all necessary information
needed to develop interoperable applications based on the OpenPGP format.
It is not a step-by-step cookbook for writing an application. It describes
only the format and methods needed to read, check, generate, and write
conforming packets crossing any network. It does not deal with storage and
implementation questions. It does, however, discuss implementation issues
necessary to avoid security flaws. OpenPGP software uses a combination of
strong public-key and symmetric cryptography to provide security services
for electronic communications and data storage. These services include
confidentiality, key management, authentication, and digital signatures.
This document specifies the message formats used in OpenPGP.
