GNOME is a graphical desktop environment. It includes a wide variety of applications with a common interface for browsing the web, editing text and images, creating documents and diagrams, playing media, scanning, and much more.

GNU Miscfiles is a collection of common data files. They include, for example, country abbreviations, names and capital cities; currency abbreviations and names; a Best Current Practices index; a map of the ASCII character set; a list of three-letter airport codes; and an English word list.

The GNU Coding Standards were written by Richard Stallman and other GNU Project volunteers. Their purpose is to make the GNU system clean, consistent, and easy to install.

The information for maintainers of GNU software has guidelines and advice for someone who is the maintainer of a GNU program on behalf of the GNU Project.

This program is designed to make it easy to reconstruct difficult passwords when they are needed while limiting the risk of attack. The user of this program inputs a self-defined transformation of a web site URL and obtains the password and user name hint for that web site.

GnuCash is personal and professional financial-accounting software. It can be used to track bank accounts, stocks, income and expenses, based on the double-entry accounting practice. It includes support for QIF/OFX/HBCI import and transaction matching. It also automates several tasks, such as financial calculations or scheduled transactions.

To make the GnuCash documentation available, its doc output must be installed as well as Yelp, the Gnome help browser.

This package provides a helper library for networking and security applications and libraries. It is used by AqBanking.

AqBanking is a modular and generic interface to online banking tasks, financial file formats (import/export) and bank/country/currency information. AqBanking uses backend plugins to actually perform the online tasks. HBCI, OFX DirectConnect, YellowNet, GeldKarte, and DTAUS discs are currently supported. AqBanking is used by GnuCash, KMyMoney, and QBankManager.

GNUnet is a framework for secure peer-to-peer networking. The high-level goal is to provide a strong foundation of free software for a global, distributed network that provides security and privacy. GNUnet in that sense aims to replace the current internet protocol stack. Along with an application for secure publication of files, it has grown to include all kinds of basic applications for the foundation of a GNU internet.

For reliable NAT traversal, also install the miniupnpc package.

This package provides Guile modules for connecting to various GNUnet services. It also has infrastructure for writing new GNUnet services and connecting to them and can be used from multi-threaded environments. It is not to be confused with guile-gnunet -- guile-gnunet supports a different set of services.

The following services are supported:

• NSE (network size estimation)

• DHT (distributed hash table)

• CADET (secure end-to-end communication between arbitrary peers)

GNU libmicrohttpd is a small, embeddable HTTP server implemented as a C library. It makes it easy to run an HTTP server as part of another application. The library is fully HTTP 1.1 compliant. It can listen on multiple ports, supports four different threading models, and supports IPv6. It also features security features such as basic and digest authentication and support for SSL3 and TLS.

GNU libextractor is a library for extracting metadata from files. It supports a very large number of file formats, including audio files, document files, and archive files. Each file format is implemented as a plugin, so new formats can be added easily. The package also contains a command-line tool to extract metadata from a file and print the results.

Pinentry provides a console and a graphical interface for EFL that allows users to enter a passphrase when gpg is run and needs it.

Pinentry provides a console that allows users to enter a passphrase when gpg is run and needs it.

Pius (PGP Individual UID Signer) helps attendees of PGP key signing parties. It is the main utility and makes it possible to quickly and easily sign each UID on a set of PGP keys. It is designed to take the pain out of the sign-all-the-keys part of PGP key signing parties while adding security to the process. The pius-keyring-mgr and pius-party-worksheet commands help organizers of PGP key signing parties.

Npth is a library to provide the GNU Pth API and thus a non-preemptive threads implementation.

In contrast to GNU Pth is is based on the system's standard threads implementation. This allows the use of libraries which are not compatible to GNU Pth.

QGpgme provides a very high level Qt API around GpgMEpp.

QGpgME was originally developed as part of libkleo and incorporated into gpgpme starting with version 1.7.

The GNU Privacy Guard is a complete implementation of the OpenPGP standard. It is used to encrypt and sign data and communication. It features powerful key management and the ability to access public key servers. It includes several libraries: libassuan (IPC between GnuPG components), libgpg-error (centralized GnuPG error values), and libskba (working with X.509 certificates and CMS data).

Parcimonie incrementally refreshes a GnuPG keyring in a way that makes it hard to correlate the keyring content to an individual, and makes it hard to locate an individual based on an identifying subset of her keyring content. Parcimonie is a daemon that fetches one key at a time using the Tor network, waits a bit, changes the Tor circuit being used, and starts over.

PyGPGME is a Python module that lets you sign, verify, encrypt and decrypt messages using the OpenPGP format by making use of GPGME.

Guile-Gcrypt provides a Guile interface to a subset of the GNU Libgcrypt crytographic library. It provides modules for cryptographic hash functions, message authentication codes (MAC), public-key cryptography, strong randomness, and more. It is implemented using the foreign function interface (FFI) of Guile.

Pinentry provides a console and a GUI designed for use with GNOME 3 that allows users to enter a passphrase when required by gpg or other software.

Jetring is a collection of tools that allow for gpg keyrings to be maintained using changesets. It was developed with the Debian keyring in mind, and aims to solve the problem that a gpg keyring is a binary blob that's hard for multiple people to collaboratively edit.

With jetring, changesets can be submitted, reviewed to see exactly what they will do, applied, and used to build a keyring. The origin of every change made to the keyring is available for auditing, and gpg signatures can be used for integrity guarantees.

This package provides a Pinentry implementation based on Bemenu.

Paperkey extracts the secret bytes from an OpenPGP (GnuPG, PGP, etc) key for printing with paper and ink, which have amazingly long retention qualities. To reconstruct a secret key, you re-enter those bytes (whether by hand, OCR, QR code, or the like) and paperkey can use them to transform your existing public key into a secret key.
