GnuPG Agent

GnuPG Agent is a background program that manages your cryptographic keys and handles secure authentication processes for GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard). It stores your private keys securely in memory and uses them to sign, decrypt, or authenticate your digital communications without repeatedly prompting for your password. By doing so, it simplifies and streamlines encryption tasks while maintaining security. Essentially, GnuPG Agent acts as a trusted intermediary that keeps your cryptographic keys accessible when needed, ensuring both convenience and security in managing sensitive data and digital identities.
