43+ == What is the vision of LibrePGP?
44+
45+ "Libre" is derived from the Latin word for "free". It emphasizes freedom,
46+ openness, and unrestricted use.
47+
48+ "PGP" stands for Pretty Good Privacy, the original encryption program developed
49+ by Phil Zimmermann in 1991 that became the basis for the OpenPGP standard.
50+
51+ LibrePGP represents the next step for the future of OpenPGP:
52+
53+ Free and open::
54+ LibrePGP aims to keep encryption technology accessible to all, free from
55+ proprietary restrictions or government interference.
56+
57+ Stable and compatible::
58+ It builds on 20+ years of OpenPGP experience, ensuring long-term stability and
59+ compatibility with existing systems.
60+
61+ Security-focused::
62+ LibrePGP prioritizes real-world security concerns over purely academic
63+ interests, making it suitable for deployments in critical sectors.
64+
65+ Forward-looking::
66+ LibrePGP represents a future for encrypted communication that supports rapid
67+ evolution, incorporating new algorithms like OCB when beneficial.
68+
69+ Trusted::
70+ With its commitment to open-source and collaboration among respected developers,
71+ LibrePGP aims to be a globally trusted standard for secure communication.
72+
73+ The vision for LibrePGP is to ensure that strong, reliable encryption remains
74+ freely available to defend privacy and secure communication worldwide. It seeks
75+ to balance innovation with stability, ensuring that the technology evolves to
76+ meet new challenges while maintaining the interoperability and reliability that
77+ have made PGP a cornerstone of digital security for decades.
