PRZ Wins One
PRZ is awarded a 1995 Chrysler Award for Innovation in
Design, says a $40,000 full-page ad in The NYT today, with
a brief citation:
Philip Zimmermann is the designer of Pretty Good Privacy
(PGP), an E-mail encryption software. Thanks to the
algorithms of PGP, which was released to the public as
free software in 1991, E-mail messages can be sent
securely all over the world without the risk of
interception by any third party.
No mention of the free-world leader's sword poised to
decapitalize the public-spirited designer to protect IC
hegemony.
