I’m on team PGP and S/MIME as well. Given Marco hasn’t answered we’re probably all wrong.

PGP stands for “Pretty Good Privacy” and it’s the most widely used as email encryption system. When sending a message using PGP, the message is converted into unreadable ciphertext before it passes over the Internet. Only the recipient has the key to convert the text back into a readable message on their device.
