My brain always reads PGP and GPG as "Pretty Good Protection and Gretty Pood Grotection"
What’s it actually supposed to be?
PGP - Pretty Good Privacy, although when most people talk about "PGP", they really mean the standard, OpenPGP.
GPG - GNU Privacy Guard, an implementation of OpenPGP by the GNU Project.
PGP Pretty Good Privacy and GPG GNU Privacy Guard iirc
