CNM make PGP Encryption available

Data Encryption
 
CNM supports the OpenPGP encryption standard. Two popular software packages that comply with OpenPGP are PGP (from PGP Corporation) and GnuPG (Gnu Privacy Guard or GPG). In addition there are many other less-common packages that implement OpenPGP. OpenPGP is a public key encryption methodology that requires the exchange of public keys. Therefore, some minor setup is required before files can be encrypted.
