I've been searching around for a guide or tutorial, which don't get me wrong I've found some that are very in depth. I'm just trying to figure out the basics.

What is a PGP signed message?
Why are they important?

I see people on the forum asking people to show them or create one all the time.

From what I understand it adds some level of security...?

Is it showing that you own an old address that you've used before in the forum or is it showing that your wallet is secured so it's safe for you to escrow funds or something like that?

As a new user of Bitcoins would you recommend I get a PGP signed message?
