Can someone please explain why PGP is needs all of these? All explanations of public key encryption mention any email embedded emails.

And I probably don't completely understand what PGP is, so please give me a good article or video on it.

So the email and username have no cryptographic purpose, they are just there for convenience.

Thanks I guess...
