gpg_keygen

Generates a new standard private-public keypair. This function is mostly
for testing purposes. Use the <code>gpg --gen-key</code> command line utility to generate an
official GPG key with custom fields and options.

Bindings to GnuPG for working with OpenGPG (RFC4880) cryptographic
methods. Includes utilities for public key encryption, creating and verifying
digital signatures, and managing your local keyring. Some functionality
depends on the version of GnuPG that is installed on the system. On Windows
this package can be used together with 'GPG4Win' which provides a GUI for
managing keys and entering passphrases.
