What is an ASC file?
Developed by PGP, its Pretty Good Privacy software, an encryption tool for secure communication, uses the ASC file format. The format is ASCII-based but is armored for extra protection. It can store text and binary information encoded in text format. An ASC file holds a digitally signed message and a key in a clear-signed format to access it.
An ASC file usually helps in transmitting online security messages via email or text messages. The overall file size can be larger than the extensions of such nature, but they are highly secure, making them a preferred choice for storing and sending sensitive data.
