I don’t think I understand what you’re implying. Are you arguing that PGP implements less secure operations because it doesn’t have perfect forward secrecy? As far as I know there’s not much out there in terms of encryption schemes for data at rest which includes PFS. Even AGE didn’t have it last time I checked. If you know about something that does provide PFS for data at rest, let me know
Oh, I was just interested in making a pun based on the name. 😂
To be perfectly honest I was under the impression that we had collectively bailed on PGP in favor of GPG, but based on the Wikipedia article it seems like PGP is still getting updates so maybe that’s not the case?
That’s for encrypting text, regardless of the medium. Explain “not very good”?
It uses the same public key unless you manually change it. You don’t get the rolling keys provided by other systems

Well it’s not very good, it’s just pretty good.
Possiblylinux127 seemed like he had founds faults in PGP’s encryption which got me interested

PGP is the protocol, GPG is the implementation. People tend to use GPG because it is FOSS.
Thank you for distilling that down, cleared up all of the confusion I had. Cheers.
