How To Install gnupg1 on Fedora 34

gnupg1 is A GNU utility for secure communication and data storage

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install gnupg1 on Fedora 34.

What is `gnupg1`

GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard) is a GNU utility for encrypting data and creating digital signatures. GnuPG has advanced key management capabilities and is compliant with the proposed OpenPGP Internet standard described in RFC2440. Since GnuPG doesn’t use any patented algorithm, it is not compatible with any version of PGP2 (PGP2.x uses only IDEA for symmetric-key encryption, which is patented worldwide).
