pgp temp files.
After using pgp to read an encrypted message, I ran chkdsk on my hard drive. I
was astonished to find that chkdsk found an error on my hard drive, but I was
even more astonished to find that when I recovered the error to a file, it
contained most of a message I had just read using pgp. Apearantly, this was
what was left of a temp file that pgp used. IMHO, pgp should have wiped this
file. Maybe I should try to use a ramdisk as my temp-file path. Just thought
ya'll should know that pgp may not be as secure as we hope.
In my effort to write a menu system for pgp-encrypted email, I use pgp very
often, and in very unusuall ways. Consequently, I have found a (very) few
weaknesses in the program. Is anyone currently supporting pgp, or am I on my
own? If anyone is supporting pgp, I'd like to talk to you. ;^) Thanx in
advance.
