I've been reading a bit about GPG (I haven't used it before) and it
seems to use the same public key encryption concept as the
certificates used in S/MIME or SSL/TLS. The only difference between
them seem to be that GPG trust is based on a decentralized web of
trust while digital certificates are based on a root certification
authority. Am I right?

I guess in this case I should include the private key as a unencrypted
file in my USB stick and protect it with a good password, as it will
be used whenever I need to decrypt any file. Am I right?

Thanks, best regards
Jose
