I'm starting a bit for our project where a client will be encrypting a small
bit of text with a public key using GPG, and we need to decrypt it.

I can simply fork off a gpg program everytime, but I would rather not.

Modern encryption is neck deep in acronyms and vocabulary that I'm not
particularly up to speed on, so it's hard to figure out where I need to
start in order to approach this problem.

Any beacons in the night would be very welcome and appreciated.

Thanx!

Best Regards,
