EasyPG Assistant commands are prefixed by ‘`epa-`’. For example,

- To browse your keyring, type `M-x epa-list-keys`
- To create a cleartext signature of the region, type `M-x epa-sign-region`
- To encrypt a file, type `M-x epa-encrypt-file`

EasyPG Assistant provides several cryptographic features which can be integrated into other Emacs functionalities. For example, automatic encryption/decryption of ‘`*.gpg`’ files.
