Question about symmetric AES cipher in GnuPG

[Stefan Claas]

Hi Werner and all,

I was wondering why the binary file size when using symmetric AES
encryption with GnuPG is larger than with other apps, I have tested
so far.

As an example encrypting a text file containing 'Hello World':

gpg --symmetric --cipher-algo AES256 hw.txt gives me a file
size of 87 Bytes.

Doing the same with openssl, for example:

openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -pbkdf2 -in hw.txt -out hw.enc

results in 32 Bytes.

Can you please, or somebody else, explain in laymen terms why this is so?

Regards
Stefan
