BUG
Digital signatures made with keys 2034-2048 bits in length may be corrupt if
made by MIT PGP 2.6.2, but I think this has been fixed in PGP 2.6.2i. To fix
this in the source code, change the line in function
make_signature_certificate in crypto.c from
byte inbuf[MAX_BYTE_PRECISION], outbuf[MAX_BYTE_PRECISION];
to
byte inbuf[MAX_BYTE_PRECISION], outbuf[MAX_BYTE_PRECISION+2];

WHERE CAN I GET VIACRYPT PGP?
Viacrypt has versions of PGP complete with licenses for commercial use of the
RSA and IDEA encryption algorithms. Viacrypt PGP comes in executable code
only (no source code), but it is based on (and just as secure as) the
freeware PGP. Viacrypt PGP for Windows is the only real Windows PGP (and even
it is partially a quickwin executable that looks like a DOS port). Still, it
is much better from an interface standpoint than all the others.
Please contact ViaCrypt for pricing (about US $100 up), the latest platforms,
and availablity at 800-536-2664 8:30am to 5:00pm MST, Monday - Friday. They
accept VISA, MasterCard, AMEX and Discover credit cards.
Viacrypt is currently working on preparing the release of version 4.0
(personal) and version 4.0 (business). The business edition adds a few extra
key management features (like master keys) that are of use to businesses, but
not really useful for persnal email.

WHERE IS PGP ON COMPUSERVE?
GO NCSAFORUM. Follow the instructions there to gain access to Library 12:
Export Controlled.
Compuserve file names used to be seriously limited, so look for PGP262.ZIP,
PG262S.ZIP (source code), PGP262.GZ (Unix source code) and PG262D.ZIP
(documentation only).
AOL
Go to the AOL software library and search "PGP" or ftp from
ftp://ftp.csua.berkeley.edu/pub/cypherpunks/pgp or another site listed above
or below.
It is possible to get PGP from ftp sites with hidden directories
with the following trick: (1) View the README file with the hidden
directory name in it, then quickly (2) Start a new ftp connection,
specifiying the hidden directory name with the ftp site's address, like
ftp.csn.net/mpj/I_will_not_export/crypto_xxxxxxx (where the xxxxxxx is
replaced with the current character string).

IS PGP MORALLY RIGHT?
PGP itself is morally neutral. What you do with it is not. Protecting
privacy, prevention of criminal theft, and taking due diligence to protect
certain business information (like credit card numbers, customer lists, etc.)
are good uses for PGP. Concealing criminal or other immoral activity is
wrong. You can fool the police some of the time, but you can't fool God.
IS PGP LEGAL?
Pretty Good Privacy is legal if you follow these rules:
* Don't export PGP from the USA except to Canada, or from Canada except to
the USA, without a license.
* If you are in the USA, use either Viacrypt PGP (licensed for commercial
use) or MIT PGP using RSAREF (limited to personal, noncommercial use).
Outside of the USA, where RSA is not patented, you may prefer to use a
version of PGP (2.6.i) that doesn't use RSAREF to avoid the restrictions of
that license.
* If you are in a country where the IDEA cipher patent holds in software
(including the USA, Canada, and some countries in Europe), make sure you are
licensed to use the IDEA cipher commercially before using PGP commercially.
(No separate license is required to use the freeware PGP for personal,
noncommercial use). For direct IDEA licensing, contact Ascom Systec.
Ascom Systec has taken over the distribution of IDEA licenses effective April
1, 1995. Erhard Widmer is the person responsible for the sales aspects, and
Peter Hartmann is responsible for the technical aspects. They can be reached
as follows:

Peter Hartmann, Ascom Systec AG, Dep't. CMN Phone +41 64 56 59 45
Fax: +41 64 56 59 90
e-mail: [email protected]
Mail address: Gewerbepark, CH-5506 Maegenwil (Switzerland)
* Don't sell PGP based on Philip Zimmermann's source code in North America
unless you are reselling for Viacrypt (because they have an exclusive
marketing agreement on Philip Zimmermann's copyrighted code). (Selling
shareware/freeware disks or connect time is OK). This restriction does not
apply to PGP 3.0, since it is a complete rewrite by Colin Plumb. Distribution
and use restrictions on that version are still to be determined.
* If you modify PGP (other than porting it to another platform or adapting
it to another compiler), don't call it PGP (TM) or Pretty Good Privacy (TM)
without Philip Zimmermann's permission.
WHAT IS PHILIP ZIMMERMANN'S LEGAL STATUS?
Philip Zimmermann was under investigation for alleged violation of export
regulations, with a grand jury hearing evidence for about 28 months, ending
11 January 1996. The Federal Government chose not to comment on why it
decided to not prosecute, nor is it likely to. The Commerce Secretary stated
that he would seek relaxed export controls for cryptographic products, since
studies show that U. S. industry is being harmed by current regulations.
Philip endured some serious threats to his livelihood and freedom, as well as
some very real legal expenses, for the sake of your right to electronic
privacy.
Although there was no direct and open legal battle, there was a lot of behind
the scenes work by Phil's legal team, headed by Philip L. Dubois
([email protected]). GREAT JOB! If you ever are in the situation of needing
a good lawyer to help you with similar Federal harassment, consider yourself
fortunate if Mr. Dubois will take your case.
Philip Zimmermann is breathing more easily these days, still a free man and
able to work to support his family. The battle is won, but the war is not
over. The regulations that caused him so much grief and which continue to
dampen cryptographic development, harm U. S. industry, and do violence to the
U. S. National Security by eroding the First Ammendment of the U. S.
Constitution and encouraging migration of cryptographic industry outside of
the U. S. A. are still on the books. If you are a U. S. Citizen, please
write to your U. S. Senators, Congressional Representative, President, and
Vice President pleading for a more sane and fair cryptographic policy.

WHAT OTHER FILE ENCRYPTION (DOS, MAC) TOOLS ARE THERE?
PGP can do conventional encryption only of a file (-c) option, but
you might want to investigate some of the other alternatives if you do
this a lot. Alternatives include Quicrypt and Atbash2 for DOS, DLOCK2 for
DOS & UNIX, Curve Encrypt (for the Mac), HPACK (many platforms), and a
few others.
Quicrypt is interesting in that it comes in two flavors:
shareware exportable and registered secure. Atbash2 is interesting in
that it generates ciphertext that can be read over the telephone or sent
by Morse code. DLOCK is a no-frills strong encryption program with
complete source code. Curve Encrypt has certain user-friendliness
advantages. HPACK is an archiver (like ZIP or ARC), but with strong
encryption. A couple of starting points for your search are:

HOW DO I SECURELY DELETE FILES (DOS)?
If you have the Norton Utilities, Norton WipeInfo is pretty good. I use
DELETE.EXE in del110.zip, which is really good at deleting existing files,
but doesn't wipe "unused" space.

WHAT DO I DO ABOUT THE PASS PHRASE IN MY WINDOWS SWAP FILE?
The nature of Windows is that it can swap any memory to disk at any time,
meaning that all kinds of interesting things could end up in your swap file.

WHERE DO I GET PGPfone(tm)?
PGPfone is in beta test for Macintosh users. A Windows 95 version is
being developed.

WHERE DO I GET NAUTILUS?
Bill Dorsey, Pat Mullarky, and Paul Rubin have come out with a program called
Nautilus that enables you to engage in secure voice conversations between
people with multimedia PCs and modems capable of at least 7200 bps (but 14.4
kbps is better). See

HOW DO I ENCRYPT MY DISK ON-THE-FLY?
Rather than manually encrypting and decrypting files, it is sometimes easier
(and therefore more secure, because you are more likely to use it) to use a
utility that encrypts or decrypts files on the fly as you use them in your
favorite applications. This also allows you to automatically encrypt
temporary files generated by your applications if they are on the encrypted
volume.
Secure File System (SFS) is a DOS device driver that encrypts an entire
partition on the fly using SHA in feedback mode.
Secure Drive also encrypts an entire DOS partition, using IDEA, which is
patented.
Secure Device is a DOS device driver that encrypts a virtual, file-hosted
volume with IDEA.
Cryptographic File System (CFS) is a Unix device driver that uses DES.

WHERE IS PGP'S COMPETITION?
RIPEM is the second most popular freeware email encryption package.
I like PGP better for lots of reasons, but if for some reason you want
to check or generate a PEM signature, RIPEM is available at
ripem.msu.edu. There is also an exportable RIPEM/SIG.
