Query on GPG - should I install GPG in every system?

GPG is primarily used to secure communications between individual 
users. To that end, the private key is just that -- private and would 
be trustworthy only if it is available to its owner exclusively. Using 
a server-based solution would require all users' private keys residing 
on the server. The fun part is then how to allow users to decrypt their 
private keys in a secure manner over a network -- not possible. 
Therefore, GPG should be installed on each user's workstation and have 
each user create their own keys.

I strongly recommend the following article to assist you in a proper 
implementation:
