B<Pretty Curved Privacy> (pcp1) is a commandline utility which can
be used to encrypt files. B<pcp1> uses eliptc curve cryptography
be used to encrypt files. B<pcp1> uses elliptic curve cryptography
for encryption (CURVE25519 by Dan J. Bernstein). While CURVE25519
is no worldwide accepted standard it hasn't been compromised by

to be considered experimental software. In fact, I wrote it just
to learn about the curve and see how it works.
Beside some differences it works like B<GNUPG>. So, if you already
know how to use gpg, you'll feel almost home.
