Does it encrypt PGP-style?
More like ZRTP style, also not sure exactly what you mean by PGP-style

PGP gathers entropy for keys using user interactions with the computer (mouse movements, keyboard input, normal usage) as well as disk and memory activity, making for more true random number generation than the PRNG that uses the pool in many modern processors, which could be 'fixed' by the NSA following recent revelations.

That's not specific to PGP at all.

No, but it's known for being commonly used in PGP. I could be wrong, but that's what I understand when someone says, "PGP-style encryption."
Like the other poster said, using various computer inputs to feed the entropy source during key generation is not specific to PGP or public-key cryptography at all.

"PGP-style encryption" probably implies public-key cryptography. Like the other poster said, using various computer inputs to feed the entropy source during key generation is not specific to PGP or public-key cryptography at all.
