Gnu Privacy Guard is '''cryptographic software suite for personal use''' developed to implement the OpenPGP standard defined by the [https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Engineering_Task_Force Internet Engineering Task Force]. Initially developed for the Linux / Unix platform, over time GNU Privacy Guard, also known as GPG, was ported to many other platforms including the '''Windows''' family of operating systems. The GPG Windows version is called '''GPG4Win''' and supports all of the functionality available for Linux, MacOsX or Unix. The GPG4Win graphical interface was designed and optimized for Windows and as such is slightly different from other operating systems. This paper provides an overview of the '''software basic operation'''.
