  Description     : a common and simple Java interface for generating and verifying OpenPGP signatures

Commons OpenPGP was started to produce a common and simple interface for
generating and verifying OpenPGP signatures.

Currently implemented using BouncyCastle, it is intended to allow
pluggable providers so that alternate open source and commercial
providers can be used.

The library was started by Maven and Ant committers to enable the use of
OpenPGP from these tools. Currently, Maven uses it in its development
version to sign libraries released to the repository.
