What's new
Enhanced encryption for files

In the PGP > Create keys action, you can now use the new Select key size option to choose from a list of standard pre-defined key sizes to create public and private keys to encrypt and decrypt files. This enables you to use a longer key size to secure your files and provide a stronger encryption. The standard available key sizes are 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, and 8192.
