b) AES
c) OpenPGP
d) DES

Answer 1

PGP and GPG adhere to the OpenPGP standard, which provides protocols for secure email communication and data verification.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) and GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) both follow the OpenPGP standard. The OpenPGP standard is a non-proprietary protocol for encrypting email communication with strong cryptographic privacy and authentication. It is defined by the working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in RFC 4880. OpenPGP is used to secure and verify data through digital signatures and encryption primarily for securing emails and increasing privacy.
