PGP BOOKS
Protect Your Privacy: PGP: Pretty Good Privacy
A Guide for PGP Users
by William Stallings by Simson Garfinkel
Prentice Hall PTR O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.
ISBN 0-13-185596-4 ISBN 1-56592-098-8
US $19.95 US $24.95
If you order Stallings' book from National Computer Security Association
([email protected]) they will donate $1 of the price to Phil
Zimmermann's legal defense fund.
WHERE CAN I GET THE PGP VERSION DIRECTLY FROM PHILIP ZIMMERMANN?
Get the MIT version. See http://web.mit.edu/network/pgp-form.html
WHAT IS PGP 2.6.i?
Stale Schumacher <[email protected]> released an international version of
PGP built the "right way." By "right way," I mean that it uses the latest
MIT code, but uses a different rsaglue.c to use the mpilib instead of RSAREF
for RSA calculations, thus including all the latest bug fixes and features in
the main freeware PGP code line, but frees non-USA persons from the
limitations of the RSAREF license. This release has been as strongly
endorsed by Philip Zimmermann as he can do without incriminating himself.
Naturally, by not using the RSAREF code for RSA calculations, this version is
not legal for use in the USA (other than limited research, etc.), but is fine
anywhere else (like Canada) were RSA patents don't hold.
Note that the latest version of Stale Schumacher's PGP is 2.6.i, 2.6i
(without the second .) was a beta test version that has been superceded.
WHAT IS PGP 2.6ui?
The "unofficial international" versions are really just PGP 2.3a, modified
just enough to make it compatible with MIT PGP 2.6, but do not include all of
the fixes in MIT PGP 2.6 and MIT PGP 2.6.1. They have a "ui" somewhere in
their file names.
WHERE CAN I GET VIACRYPT PGP?
Contact Viacrypt in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. The commecial version of PGP is
fully licensed to use the patented RSA and IDEA encryption algorithms in
commercial and government environments in the USA and Canada. It is fully
compatible with, functionally the same as, and just as strong as the freeware
version of PGP. Due to limitations on ViaCrypt's RSA distribution license,
ViaCrypt only distributes executable code and documentation for it, but they
are working on making PGP available for a variety of platforms. Call or
write to them for the latest information. The latest version number for
Viacrypt PGP is 2.7.
Here is a brief summary of Viacrypt's currently-available products:
1. ViaCrypt PGP for MS-DOS. Prices start at $99.98
2. ViaCrypt PGP for UNIX. Includes executables for the following
platforms:
SunOS 4.1.x (SPARC)
IBM RS/6000 AIX
HP 9000 Series 700/800 UX
SCO 386/486 UNIX
SGI IRIX
AViiON DG-UX(88/OPEN)
Prices start at $149.98
Executables for the following additional platforms are
available upon request for an additional $30.00 charge.
BSD 386

WHERE CAN I GET THE FREEWARE PGP?
These listings are subject to change without notice. If you find that PGP has
been removed from any of these sites, please let me know so that I can update
this list. Likewise, if you find PGP on a good site elsewhere (especially on
any BBS that allows first time callers to access PGP for free), please let me
know so that I can update this list. Because this list changes frequently, I
have not attempted to keep it complete, but there should be enough pointers
to let you easily find PGP.
There are several ways to get the freeware PGP: ftp, WWW, BBS, CompuServe,
email ftp server, and sneakernet (ask a friend for a copy). Just don't ask
Philip Zimmermann directly for a copy.
FTP SITES IN NORTH AMERICA
There are some wierd hoops to jump through, thanks to the U. S. Department of
State, at many of these sites. This is apparently because the U. S.
Department of State wants to make it easier for people outside of North
America to develop, distribute, use, or sell strong cryptographic software
than people inside of the USA and Canada -- at least that is the effect of
their rules.
Telnet to net-dist.mit.edu, log in as getpgp, answer the questions, then ftp
to net-dist.mit.edu and change to the hidden directory named in the telnet
session to get your own copy.
MIT-PGP is for U. S. and Canadian use only, but MIT is only distributing it
within the USA (due to some archaic export control laws).
You can also get PGP from:
ftp.csn.net/mpj
See ftp://ftp.csn.net/mpj/README.MPJ
ftp.netcom.com/pub/mp/mpj
See ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/mp/mpj/README.MPJ

Compuserve file names are even more limited than DOS (6.3 instead of the
already lame 8.3), so the file names to look for are PGP262.ZIP, PG262S.ZIP
(source code), PGP262.GZ (Unix source code) and PG262D.ZIP (documentation
only).

MACPGP OPTIONS
There are multiple parallel efforts to write an up-to-date MacPGP. See the
following for the latest MacPGP beta stuff. Zbigniew Fiedorowicz
<[email protected]> has updated his MacPGP to support Apple
events, and his distribution comes with complete source code. Grady's netcom
directory contains a different version, about which he says "This latest bug
release beta 1.23 fixes several relatively minor bugs. Source to this
version is NOT available, so its use should be restricted to experimentation
only."

PGP FOR WINDOWS, WINDOWS NT, AND WINDOWS 95
There isn't one, yet, that I know of (at least not a true native Windows
application). There are several good shells that call the DOS PGP for the
actual work, though. I use Viacrypt's, but there are others available as
shareware or freeware at most of the sites listed above for PGP itself.
IS MY COPY OF PGP GOOD?
If you find a version of the PGP package that does not include the PGP User's
Guide, something is wrong. The manual should always be included in the
package. PGP should be signed by one of the developers (Philip Zimmermann,
Jeff Schiller, Viacrypt, Stale Schumacher, etc.).

WHAT IS ALL THIS NONSENSE ABOUT EXPORT CONTROLS?
For a detailed rant, get ftp://ftp.csn.net/mpj/cryptusa.zip
WHAT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RESTRICTIONS EXIST IN THE USA?
MIT PGP is only for personal, noncommercial use because of restrictions on
the licensing of both the RSA algorithm (attached to RSAREF) and the IDEA
algorithm. PKP/RSADSI insist that we use RSAREF instead of the mpi library
for reasons that make sense to them.
For commercial use, use Viacrypt PGP, which is fully licensed to use both the
RSA and IDEA algorithms in commercial and corporate environments (as well as
personal use, of course).
Another restriction is due to an exclusive marketing agreement between Philip
Zimmermann and Viacrypt that applies to the USA and Canada only. Viacrypt
has exclusive rights to market PGP commercialy in this area of the world.
This means that if you want to market PGP commercially in competition with
Viacrypt in the USA or Canada, you would have to create a new implementation
of the functions of PGP containing none of Philip Zimmermann's copyrighted
code. You are free to modify existing PGP code for your own use, as long as
you don't sell it. Phil would also appreciate your checking with him before
you distribute any modified versions of PGP as freeware.
"PGP", "Pretty Good Privacy" and "Phil's Pretty Good Software" are trademarks
owned by Philip Zimmermann. This means that if you modify an older version of
PGP that was issued under the copyleft license and distribute it without
Phil's permission, you have to call it something else. This avoids confusing
all of us and protects Phil's good name.
WHAT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RESTRICTIONS EXIST IN CANADA?
MIT PGP is only for noncommercial use because of restrictions on the
licensing of the IDEA algorithm. Because the RSA algorithm isn't patented in
Canada, you are free to use the mpi library instead of RSAREF, if you want
to, thus freeing yourself of the RSAREF license associated with the RSAREF
copyright, which is valid in Canada.
For commercial use, use Viacrypt PGP, which is fully licensed to use the IDEA
algorithm in commercial and corporate environments.
The exclusive marketing agreement with Viacrypt also applies in Canada. See
the section on USA intellectual property restrictions for more details.
WHAT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RESTRICTIONS EXIST OUTSIDE NORTH AMERICA?
MIT PGP is only for noncommercial in areas where there is a patent on
software implementations of the IDEA algorithm. Because the RSA algorithm
isn't patented outside of the USA, you are free to use the mpi library
instead of RSAREF, if you want to, thus freeing yourself of the RSAREF
license restrictions. The RSAREF copyright holds outside of the USA, even
though the RSA patent does not.
The IDEA conventional block cipher is covered by US Patent 5,214,703 and
European patent EP 0 482 154 B1. IDEA is a trademark of Ascom-Tech AG.
Commercial users of IDEA (including commercial use of PGP) may obtain
licensing details from
Ph. Baumann, IDEA Lizenz
Ascom Tech AG
Postfach 151
CH-4502 Solothurn
Switzerland
Tel ++41 65 242828, Fax ++41 65 242847.
WHAT IS COMMERCIAL USE?
Use some common sense. If you are running a business and using PGP to
protect credit card numbers sent to you electronically, then you are using
PGP commercially. Your customers, however, need not buy the commercial
version of PGP just to buy something from you, if that is the only commercial
use they make of PGP (since they are spending, not making, money with PGP).
If you are just encrypting love letters or other personal mail (for which you
don't get paid) on your own personal computer, that is not commercial. If
you are encrypting official business mail on your for-profit corporation's
computer with PGP, that is commercial use.
Note that there are some gray areas not covered above, and the patent owners
of RSA and IDEA may differ from my interpretation in the areas not covered
above, so if you are in doubt, you should consider the licensing of Viacrypt
PGP (or outside of North America, direct licensing of IDEA) to be cheap legal
insurance. Indeed, the license fee is probably a lot cheaper than a legal
opinion from a lawyer qualified to make such a judgement. Note that I am not
a lawyer and the above is not legal advise. Use it at your own risk.
ARE MY KEYS COMPATIBLE WITH THE OTHER PGP VERSIONS?
If your RSA key modulus length is less than or equal to 1024 bits (I don't
recommend less, unless you have a really slow computer and little patience),
and if your key was generated in the PKCS format, then it will work with any
of the current PGP versions (MIT PGP 2.6, PGP 2.6ui, or Viacrypt PGP 2.7). If
this is not the case, you really should generate a new key that qualifies.
MIT PGP 2.6.2 should be able to use 2048 bit keys. Generation of 2048 bit
keys was supposed to automatically be enabled in PGP 2.6.2 in December, 1994,
but a bug caused the actual key limit to be 2047 bits.

HOW DO I PUBLISH MY PGP PUBLIC KEY?
There are lots of ways. One way is to use a key server. Send mail to one of
these addresses with the single word "help" in the subject line to find out
how to use a key server.
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]

[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
There is also an experimental public key server at
http://ibd.ar.com/PublicKeys.html
There is an excellent commercial key certification and publication service,
too. For $20/year or so, you can have your key officially certified and
published in a "clean" key database that is much less susceptible to
denial-of-service attacks than the other key servers. People need not pay
any fees to retrieve keys so published. Send mail to [email protected] for
information, or look at http://www.Four11.com/
You can also mail your key to [email protected], and it will be posted
to the subscribers of that mailing list, sent to the keyservers, and posted
to alt.security.keydist. To subscribe to the mailing list, send a message to
[email protected] with "subscribe pgp-public-keys" in the body of the message.
Another way is to upload it to the PGP public keys area of the Colorado
Catacombs BBS (303-772-1062). Another way is to just send it to your
correspondents. You could add it to your .plan file so that finger returns
your key. You could add it to some of your postings. No matter which way you
do it, you should have your key signed by someone who verifies that your key
belongs to you, so that you don't have someone else generating a key that has
your name on it, but that isn't yours.
Here is my public key:
