What is PGP? Private key and Public key explanation with pictures

Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) is an encryption program that provides cryptographic privacy and authentication for data communication. PGP is used for signing, encrypting, and decrypting texts, e-mails, files, directories, and whole disk partitions and to increase the security of e-mail communications. A PGP is a code that a computer understands and many of the hackers use PGP to send data through E-Mail. The PGP Encrypts the data as public and private.
Private Key:- It is the key which is only visible to me no one can access it rather than me. This key is used to decrypt the encrypted message that is sended by the sender { ex:- There are 2 computers one is of my and another is of my friend he send me a encrypted message that I have to crack now I am using my private key (this key should not be given to anyone or else the person can have access to your encrypted messages) to decrypt the encrypted message }.

Public Key:- It is used to encrypt the message. Since encrypting an entire message can be time-consuming, PGP uses a faster encryption algorithm to encrypt the message and then uses the public key to encrypt the shorter key that was used to encrypt the entire message.
