More or less. You may want to consider using GnuPG, the GNU Privacy Guard,
which is a free software implementation of the ideas behind PGP and which
doesn't rely on patented algorithms (RSA in the US, IDEA in Europe). If you
need backward compatibility with PGP2, have a look at the gpg-rsa and
gpg-idea packages.
