GPG Suite aims to make easy installation of GnuPG and related tools on the macOS platform. With GnuPG you can secure communication flows and data with encryption and digital signatures. It supports both OpenPGP and s/mime standards. The developers of GPG Suite have released version 2020.2. Note that the macOS Mail plugin called GPG Mail has been discontinued for a while and now requires a license after the 30-day trial period. However, it is possible to use the other components in the suite without a license, by sending GPGMail remove. The changes to this release are as follows:
