pgg: Selecting an implementation
3.2 Selecting an implementation
===============================
Since PGP has a long history and there are a number of PGP
implementations available today, the function which each one has differs
considerably. For example, if you are using GnuPG, you know you can
select cipher algorithm from 3DES, CAST5, BLOWFISH, and so on, but on
the other hand the version 2 of PGP only supports IDEA.
Which implementation is used is controlled by the ‘pgg-scheme’
variable. If it is ‘nil’ (the default), the value of the
‘pgg-default-scheme’ variable will be used instead.
-- Variable: pgg-scheme
Force specify the scheme of PGP implementation. The value can be
set to ‘gpg’, ‘pgp’, and ‘pgp5’. The default is ‘nil’.
-- Variable: pgg-default-scheme
The default scheme of PGP implementation. The value should be one
of ‘gpg’, ‘pgp’, and ‘pgp5’. The default is ‘gpg’.
